When a low tire pressure condition is detected, the

TPMS will illuminate the low tire pressure warning

symbol on the instrument panel cluster, and at the same

time a message to check the pressure in a speciﬁc

tire will appear in the Driver Information Center (DIC)

display. The low tire pressure warning symbol on

the instrument panel cluster and the check tire pressure

message will appear at each ignition cycle until the

tires are inﬂated to the correct inﬂation pressure. Using

the DIC, tire pressure levels can be viewed by the

driver. For additional information and details about the

DIC operation and displays see DIC Operation and

Displays on page 3-39 and DIC Warnings and Messages

on page 3-45.

A tire and Loading Information label, attached to your

vehicle, shows the size of your vehicle’s original

equipment tires and the correct inﬂation pressure for

your vehicle’s tires when they are cold. See Loading

Your Vehicle on page 4-29, for an example of the

tire information label and its location on your vehicle.

Also see Inﬂation - Tire Pressure on page 5-60.

Your vehicle’s TPMS system can warn you about a low

tire pressure condition but it does not replace normal

tire maintenance. See Tire Inspection and Rotation

on page 5-64 and Tires on page 5-54.

Notice: Do not use a tire sealant if your vehicle has

Tire Pressure Monitors. The liquid sealant can

damage the tire pressure monitor sensors.

The TPMS will not function properly if one or more of

the TPMS sensors are missing or inoperable. If the

system detects a missing or inoperable sensor, an error

message SERVICE TIRE MONITOR SYSTEM will be

shown on the DIC display. If you have replaced a

tire/wheel assembly without transferring the TPMS

sensors, the error message will be displayed. Once you

re-install the TPMS sensors, the error message

should go off. See your GM dealer for service if all

TPMS sensors are installed and the error message

comes on and stays on.

TPMS Sensor Identiﬁcation Codes

Each TPMS sensor has a unique identiﬁcation code.

Any time you replace one or more of the TPMS sensors

or rotate the vehicle’s tires, the identiﬁcation codes

will need to be matched to the new tire/wheel position.

The sensors are matched, to the tire/wheel positions,

in the following order: driver’s side front tire, passenger’s

side front tire, passenger’s side rear tire, and driver’s

side rear tire using a TPMS diagnostic tool. See

your GM dealer for service.

The TPMS sensors may also be matched to each

tire/wheel position by increasing or decreasing the tire’s

air pressure. When increasing the tire’s pressure, do

not exceed the maximum inﬂation pressure indicated on

the tire’s sidewall.
