lrfreelanderhse Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I have a questions that is driving me insane. We just picked up a 2009 Journey R/T with just about everything in it. We were told thet tha EVIC will display the PSI for all of the tires, just like our 2007 Nitro used to. If you went to the EVIC and paged until you saw the "System OK" page, you would see a down arrow and once you pushed the down arrow it would show all of the tires and the PSI. Well, the "System OK" page is there and it has the down arrow on it, but when you push it, it does nothing. Does anyone have the ability to see the tire PSI? Thanks, this is driving me nutz!

larryl Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 I think it will only display when there is a drop in tire pressure as the system would not be OK????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remline Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I think it will only display when there is a drop in tire pressure as the system would not be OK????? Even when I had a low tire the EVIC showed System OK on my RT. I had the warning light though. I was wondering the same thing. Close to firing up my compressor and messing with tire pressures to see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrfreelanderhse Posted March 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Thanks for the replies! It is making me nutz! Why would they have it in a Dodge vehicle two and a half years ago and then take it out? Also, what is supposed to be within the "System OK" page? I called Chrysler central and all they did was call the dealership who obvioulsy told them nothing. Thanks again for the replies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lrfreelanderhse Posted March 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 i flatted my tire to see what would happen and all i got was the warning light nothing in the display That makes no sence. Page 356 of the manual shows a picture of what you should have seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyoram Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 So far I have only seen the warning light too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyG Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 This really surprises me. We are likely going to buy a Journey in June so I have no first hand info at all, but if you go here and view the very last picture, it tells a different story!

When I pressured my dealer serivce dept. about it they thought (could not confirm) that there were diffrent versions of the EVIC. Now I am not saying that is true as I bought mine used and did not get a look at the options but if there are different EVIC levels I would expect that someone would have the version that displays it. They said 1 manual per car model is causing them all kinds of problems becuase most aren't listed as options to folks expect it to work if it is in the manual.

JohnnyG Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 It does say in the manual "if equipped" or something to that effect. The brochure only mentions an indicator light. I think that the type of TPMS system we have relies on info from the ABS sensors (a flatter tire turns more quickly), while the full-blown system uses transmitters in the valve stems and reads the actual pressure.

I remember reading something like that too. I think Dodge just messed up in the printing of the manuals or decided not to put the extra feature in. I had a Toyota pick-up and it did not even have the wiring for the low fuel light in it. Mine was probably just a fluke. Our problem seems to be fleet wide.
