TIRE PRESSURE INFORMATION FOR VEHICLES WITH TPMS
TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN
Reference Number(s): NTB08-033c, Date of Issue: October 3, 2011
Superceded Bulletin(s): NTB08-033b
SERVICE INFORMATION
The Low Tire Pressure Warning Lamp will illuminate continuously (not flashing) if the
tire pressure is low in any of the four road tires.
l This is not an indication of a malfunction. Rather, it is a signal to the driver
that the tire pressure in the vehicle must be adjusted.
Tire pressure must be adjusted/corrected at or above the pressure shown on the TIRE AND
LOADING INFORMATION label before the Low Tire Pressure Warning Light will go OFF.
l Regular tire pressure maintenance such as described in this bulletin is not
covered under the warranty.
The air pressure inside a tire can change due to several factors, such as:
l Seasonal temperature change
l Tire temperature change due to driving
l Natural pressure loss over time
Compensate for the above temperature factors when adjusting and setting tire pressure.
Each vehicle is equipped from the factory with a TIRE AND LOADING INFORMATION label.
This label lists the COLD tire pressure setting for the original tires on the specific
vehicle.

When setting / adjusting tire pressure, make sure to use an accurate tire pressure
gauge.
Use the following information for reference:
TEMPERATURE
l Tire pressure changes approximately 0.8 psi for every 10°F of temperature change.
As temperature decreases, pressure decreases.
l Tire pressure may change 3 - 5 psi between a Cold reading and a reading taken just
after the vehicle has been driven for several miles.
l Seasonal temperature change can result in tire pressure that is low enough to turn
on the Low Tire Pressure Warning Light.
NOTE: Tires are considered COLD after the vehicle has been parked for 3 or more
hours, or driven less than 1 mile at moderate speeds.

EXAMPLE 1 - SEASONAL TEMPERATURE CHANGE
l The temperature of the vehicle is 70°F after sitting in the shop.
l Ambient temperature outside the shop is 30°F or will soon fall to 30°F due to
seasonal change.
l Recommended pressure on the TIRE AND LOADING INFORMATION label is 35 psi.

2020年3月28日 16:05:26 Page 3 © 2011 Mitchell Repair Information Company, LLC.
l The tire pressure should be compensated an additional +3 psi and adjusted to 38
psi to avoid dropping below the label value when the vehicle experiences cooler
ambient air temperature.
l Compensation should also be used in the PDI process as needed.
EXAMPLE 2 - WARM TIRES
l A vehicle arrives to the dealer after being driven across town.
l The WARM tire pressure reading is 32 psi.
l Recommended COLD tire pressure on the TIRE AND LOADING INFORMATION label is 35
psi.
l The tire pressure should be compensated an additional +3 psi and adjusted to 38
psi to avoid dropping below the label value when the tires cool.
NATURAL TIRE PRESSURE LOSS OVER TIME
l Vehicle tire pressure can naturally decrease by approximately 1.0 - 1.5 psi per
month. This will vary due to seasonal temperature change.
l After 6 to 8 months tire pressure may be low enough to turn ON the Low Tire
Pressure Warning Light.

HIGH ALTITUDE
l At high altitude locations, a standard tire pressure gauge may show the tire
pressure higher than the TPMS system. If the gauge reading is not accounted for,
this could result in turning ON the Low Tire Pressure Warning Light.
l Standard tire pressure gauge readings increase about 1.0 psi for every 2,200 ft of
altitude increase above sea level (up to 10,000 ft). See Graph 3.
l For example, if the TIRE AND LOADING INFORMATION label reads 33 psi, then at an
elevation of 5,280 ft, the cold inflation pressure using a gauge should be
increased 2.5 psi to 35.5 psi."
NOTE: In the above example, C-III, Signal Tech II, or the vehicle information display
(if equipped) would show a tire pressure of 33 psi. If needed, use C-III or
Signal Tech-II to confirm tire pressure.

NOTE: l After correcting the tire pressure, the vehicle may need to be driven at
speeds above 16 mph to activate the TPMS and turn off the low tire
pressure warning light.
l If pressure compensation for temperature is used, the pressure should
be rechecked and adjusted at a later time when the tires are cold.
l If after turning the ignition ON, the TPMS light flashes for one minute
and then turns solid, refer to NTB10-048b or NTB09-101b .
