My 07 Durango has both the EVIC and tire monitor pressure system...But is it possible to see the the actual reading of the tire's pressure on the EVIC? I know some Chrysler vehicles have this feature. But is it possible to have mine programmed to do this?

 

Edd,

Your EVIC will not tell you individual tire pressure readings. Once a tire pressure drops below a certain level (based on your tires) the light will illuminate for you to check the pressure. The sensor sends this signal and once the tire pressure is brought up to the minimum specification the sensor will indicate such and the light will go off. I am not aware of any way to have your system programmed to tell you what each individual tire pressure is on the vehicle. How this TPMS system works is in the owners manual. If you do not have it I have included the pages that pertain to this issue below.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (TPMS) — IF
EQUIPPED
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) will warn
the driver of a low tire pressure based on the vehicle
recommended cold placard pressure (the placard is located
on the drivers side B-pillar).
The tire pressure will vary with temperature by about 1
psi (6.9 kPa) for every 12°F (6.5°C). This means that when
the outside temperature decreases, the tire pressure will
decrease. Tire pressure should always be set based on
cold inflation tire pressure. This is defined as the tire
pressure after a vehicle has not been driven for more than
3 hours - and in outside ambient temperature. Refer to
the “Tires – General Information” in this section for
information on how to properly inflate the vehicle’s tires.
The tire pressure will also increase as the vehicle is driven
- this is normal and there should be no adjustment for
this increased pressure.
The TPM System will warn the driver of a low tire
pressure if the tire pressure falls below the low pressure
warning threshold for any reason, including low temperature
effects.
The TPM System will continue to warn the driver of low
tire pressure as long as the condition exists, and will not
turn off until the tire pressure is at or above recommended
cold placard pressure. Once the low tire pressure
warning has been illuminated, the tire pressure must be
increased to the recommended cold placard pressure in
order for the TPM warning lamp to be turned off. The
system will automatically update and the TPM warning
lamp will extinguish once the updated tire pressures
have been received. The vehicle may need to be driven
for up to 10 minutes above 15 mph (25 kph) to receive
this information.

Base System – If Equipped
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) uses wireless
technology with wheel rim mounted electronic sensors to
monitor tire pressure levels. Sensors, mounted to each
wheel as part of the valve stem, transmit tire pressure
readings to the Receiver Module.
NOTE: It is particularly important, for you to check the
tire pressure in all of your tires regularly and to maintain
the proper pressure.
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) consists of
the following components:
• Receiver Module
• 4 Wheel Sensors
• Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Lamp
The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Lamp will
illuminate in the instrument cluster, and an audible
chime will be activated when one or more of
the four active road tire pressures are low. The audible
chime will sound once every ignition cycle for each
condition that it detects. Should this occur, you should
stop as soon as possible, check the inflation pressure of
each tire on your vehicle, and inflate each tire to the
pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. The
system will automatically update and the TPM warning
lamp will extinguish once the updated tire pressures
have been received. The vehicle may need to be driven
for up to 10 minutes above 15 mph (25 kph) to receive
this information.
A low spare tire will not cause the Tire Pressure Monitoring
Telltale Lamp to illuminate or the chime to sound.
The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Lamp will flash on
and off for 60 seconds, and an audible chime will sound
when a system fault is detected. The flash cycle will
repeat every ten minutes, without an audible chime, until
the fault condition no longer exists. If the ignition key is
cycled, this sequence will repeat, providing the system
fault still exists.
NOTE: A non-matching or compact spare wheel and
tire assembly does not have a tire pressure monitoring
sensor; therefore, it will not be monitored by the Tire
Pressure Monitor System (TPMS). If the non-matching or
compact spare tire was used in place of one of the four
road tires, a system fault will occur while driving the
vehicle. In case of a low pressure condition (ie. flat tire),
the “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” will remain
on solid until the original road tire has been properly
repaired, and put back onto the vehicle in place of the
non-matching or compact spare tire.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original
equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures have
been established for the tire size equipped on your
vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor
damage may result when using replacement equipment
that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.
After-market wheels can cause sensor damage. Do
not use tire sealant from a can, or balance beads if
your vehicle is equipped with a TPMS, as damage to
the sensors may result.

 

My wife's Suburban has a display for each tire and the pressure for each tire. It will also email you if it goes below a predetermined pressure. I wonder if the newer Dodges have caught up to Chevrolet,

Ohh, I see. The reason I asked this was because I saw an 06' Chrysler 300c with this feature.
