Hi All-

So it's been a long time since I had a KJ question (probably because mine has been so reliable). This morning while on the highway (speeds variably from 55 to 85) I got the TPMS indicator light flashing which accompanied an EVIC message saying "CHECK TPMS SYS". I cleared the message from the EVIC and the light continued to flash for maybe another minute or two, then went away. I figured I would check the tires when I got to my destination. The light came back on and was flashing for another minute or two, then went away. This happened 3-4 times where it came on flashing and then went away for a while. Now, normally I would have expected to see a more specific EVIC message like I have seen in the past such as "SPARE TIRE LOW PRESSURE" or something along those lines, the message it gave me above is pretty generic. So is this just an indication that I need to check the tires and refill as necessary, or is this an indication that there's a problem with the sensors or the receiver system itself? Curious for your insights. Thanks!

You should check all tires (including the spare) and air up as necessary as you said. Then it should not come on again. If it does it could be a sensor, but most likely one of the tires is just a little low.
