Problems That are Not System Faults

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.

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.

Vehicles equipped with TPMS must use wheels made for the system. Every TPMS wheel has exclusive mark; do not use any other type of wheel.
