TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM PROCEDURES FOR 2008 Chevrolet Equinox AUTOMOBILES
Description
Vehicle: 2008 Chevrolet Equinox LT 3.4 V6 GAS
The TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitor System) warns the driver when a significant loss, or gain of tire pressure occurs in any of the four tires and allows the driver to display the individual tire pressures and the locations on the DIC (Driver Information Center) display. The system uses the BCM (Body Control Module), DIC, instrument panel cluster, RCDLR (Remote Control Door Lock Receiver), a RF (Radio Frequency) transmitting tire pressure sensor in each wheel and the serial data circuit to perform the system functions. Each tire pressure sensor has an internal power supply with a 10 yea...
