Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Remove Magnet From Spare (5-Tire TPM System Only)
A magnet is used to initiate a sensor ID transmission. In the EVIC training procedure, the spare wheel is the last in the sequence. If the magnet is left on the wheel, the sensor/transmitter will continue its ID transmission. If the EVIC detects 20 transmissions from the spare wheel in 60 seconds and the vehicle speed is above 40 km/h (25 mph), it will:
- request a chime.
- display "REMOVE MAGNET FROM SPARE" for 60 seconds per ignition-ON cycle. 1.6 Tire Pressure Unavailable
The EVIC can detect high radio noise interference. When the noise level is too high to distinguish a transmission from a sensor/transmitter, it will:
- display "TIRE PRESSURE UNAVAILABLE" for 5 seconds.
- request a chime
- switch back to previous screen.
