Normal Operations and Fault Conditions

REFER to: Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - System Operation and Component Description (204-04B Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), Description and Operation).

Communication between the RTM and the TPMS sensors can be interrupted by Radio Frequency Interference (RFI), which causes intermittent issues that are not vehicle concerns. Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) is generated by electrical motors and appliance operation, cellular telephones, remote transmitters, power inverters and portable entertainment equipment.
