Chevrolet Spark Owners Manual: TPMS Malfunction Light
The TPMS will not function properly if one or more of the TPMS sensors are missing
or inoperable. When the system detects a malfunction, the low tire warning light
flashes for about one minute and then stays on for the remainder of the ignition
cycle. The malfunction light comes on at each ignition cycle until the problem is
corrected. Some of the conditions that can cause this to come on are:
- One of the road tires has been replaced with the spare tire, if the vehicle
has one. The spare tire does not have a TPMS sensor. The malfunction light should
go off after the road tire is replaced and the sensor matching process is performed
successfully. See "TPMS Sensor Matching Process" later in this section.
- The TPMS sensor matching process was not done or not completed successfully
after rotating the tires. The malfunction light should go off after successfully
completing the sensor matching process. See "TPMS Sensor Matching Process" later
in this section.
- One or more TPMS sensors are missing or damaged. The malfunction light should
go off when the TPMS sensors are installed and the sensor matching process is
performed successfully. See your dealer for service.
- Replacement tires or wheels do not match the original equipment tires or
wheels. Tires and wheels other than those recommended could prevent the TPMS
from functioning properly. See Buying New Tires on page 10-50.
- Operating electronic devices or being near facilities using radio wave frequencies
similar to the TPMS could cause the TPMS sensors to malfunction.
If the TPMS is not functioning properly, it cannot detect or signal a low tire
condition. See your dealer for service if the TPMS malfunction light comes on and
stays on.
