2003 Chrysler Intrepid ES, 3.5 VFACTORY OEM SERVICE PROCEDURE

System Faults

NOTE: The Remote Tire Pressure Monitors (RTPM) are not internally serviceable. For a Sensor Failure or Low Battery fault, the RTPM must be replaced.

There are four conditions which will cause a Tire Pressure Monitoring System fault to be set. All fault codes are associated with a specific wheel location.

  1. If the EVIC detects a non-transmitting Sensor/Transmitter in a road wheel for ten consecutive minutes with vehicle speed above 25 MPH (40 kph), it will:
    1. Store an active fault code.
    2. Request a chime.
    3. Display "TIRE SENSOR BAD/MISSING".
    4. Display a dashed line at the wheel location on the graphic display if the display is activated.

    When the EVIC detects:

  2. A low pressure sensor battery status,
  3. All five sensors transmitting at a shorter than expected interval,
  4. Or no valid pressure sensor ID from the spare tire for 20 consecutive ignition cycles spaced at least one hour apart, it will:
    1. Store an active fault code.
    2. Request a chime
    3. Display "TIRE SENSOR BAD/MISSING".

Use the DRBIII® Input/Output function to further isolate the specific concern.

The DRBIII® can be queried to determine the Sensor/Transmitter status:

  • "Invalid Pressure" - The Sensor/Transmitter is reporting a negative pressure or a pressure above 434 kPa (63 psi).
  • "Low Batt" - The Sensor/Transmitter has reported a low battery status for seven consecutive ignition cycles.
  • "Trained" - The Sensor/Transmitter ID code is recognized by the EVIC.
  • "Active" - The vehicle is moving at 40 km/h (25 mph) and/or the Sensor/Transmitter is "awake" and transmitting as expected by the EVIC.

When to See a Mechanic

  • • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
