Ok so this morning while driving to work, out of the blue EVIC displays "Check TPM System". I didn't get the Yellow telltale light and my pressures were all between 29 and 31 lbs. I added air and got them up to 34lbs, Started the car and got the same EVIC warning.. "Check TPM System" and then I get the display that shows the LBS of each tire. I went driving for about 20 minutes and the pressures all came up to 34LBS. I stopped, turned the car off and then restarted. Once again the same warning comes up. "Check TPM System" and I get the tire Monitoring screen and shows 34Lbs on each tire. According to the user guide once the pressure is good it will go off but no luck. It also states that the telltale light will flash on and off for 75 seconds but that isn't happening either.

Has anyone heard of this or can anyone tell me how to clear the fault in the EVIC?

You probably have a code in the TPMS. The screen for the actual tire pressure is different as it reads the tire pressure. The warning you're getting involves the electronic portion of the system and won't turn off until code (s) are cleared.
