Problems That Are Not System Faults
- Tire Sealant
Fluid sealant used to repair a punctured tire can damage the tire pressure sensor mounted on each wheel. It can prevent the system from detecting the correct tire pressure, which sets a DTC 11, 13, 15 or 17 even though the system is normal.
- Cold Weather
When the weather is extremely cold - about -40°F (-40°C) or colder - the output of the lithium battery in each tire pressure sensor may drop far enough that the control unit sets a DTC for low battery voltage (31, 33, 35 or 37) even though the system is normal.
- Non-TPMS Wheels
Vehicles equipped with TPMS must use wheels made for the system. Every TPMS wheel has an exclusive mark; do not use any other type of wheel.
