My EVIC displays "Check TPM System". Anybody else ever get this message? Any ideas on a fix? Thanks |

TPM stands for "Tire Pressure Monitoring" so the first thing is to check the air in all 5 tires  I don't have an evic so I don't know if pushing a button will tell you more. Also TPM systems are a new idea and no one knows for sure how long the batteries in the wheel sensors will last. And they're not replacable, you buy the whole sensor that's under $20 online.

All 5 tire pressures are good. Any way to know which of the 5 sensor batteries may be bad? |

Those TPM systems are the worst thing ever. All manufactures have these problems. My advise, turn off the TPM system and buy a good tire pressure gauge. |

I often get a check TPM on the EVIC when offroading. Only one time did it necessitate replacing a sensor. |

I posted this same question in the general forum last week......no one answered it. still have no culue what it was and I have not seen it since. when I off road and air down I get low tirepressure on the EVIC and the TPM light in the instromnet panel is lit. this is not the same. if the sensors can be had for $20 please post a link for future reference. |

I covered my warning light cause I was sick of seeing it. My tmps sensors didn't work on my old rims when I had it done so that's when I blocked it. Now I got the MOABs and they would pry work but I don't really care anymore.

Go here and select your year and model then search on "Sensor" and you'll find them. They are now $38.90!! Mine was $17 something plus shipping over a year ago. http://www.moparpartsamerica.com/splash ... eid=214583 |
