(2) Flashes for a period of at least 60
seconds but no longer than 90 seconds upon
detection of any condition specified in
S4.4(a) after the ignition locking system is
activated to the ‘‘On’’ (‘‘Run’’) position. After
each period of prescribed flashing, the
telltale must remain continuously
illuminated as long as a malfunction exists
and the ignition locking system is in the
‘‘On’’ (‘‘Run’’) position. This flashing and
illumination sequence must be repeated each
time the ignition locking system is placed in
the ‘‘On’’ (‘‘Run’’) position until the situation
causing the malfunction has been
corrected. . . .
V. Summary of AML’s Analyses: AML
stated its belief that the subject
noncompliance is inconsequential to
motor vehicle safety for the following
reasons:
(A) AML stated that although the
malfunction indicator does not reilluminate immediately after the vehicle
is restarted, it generally will illuminate
shortly thereafter, and in any event it
will illuminate in no more than about
40 seconds, even in vehicles containing
the noncompliance. Once a vehicle has
started and is accelerating above 23 mph
for a period of 15 seconds, the TPMS
will seek to confirm the sensors fitted to
the vehicle. If a sensor is not fitted, the
TPMS will detect this within a further
period of 15–20 seconds (up to a
maximum of 25 seconds) and the TPMS
malfunction indicator will illuminate
correctly. Once the malfunction
indicator is illuminated, it will remain
illuminated throughout that ignition
cycle, regardless of the vehicle’s speed.
(B) AML also stated that if the TPMS
fails to detect the wheel sensors, the
TPMS monitor will display on the
TPMS pressures screen ‘‘—’’ warning
the driver that the status of the wheel
sensor is unconfirmed. Once the vehicle
starts moving, the system will then
accurately determine if a sensor is
present or not.
(C) AML says that the noncompliance
is confined to one particular aspect of
the functionality of the otherwise
compliant TPMS malfunction indicator.
All other aspects of the low-pressure
monitoring system functionality are
fully compliant with the requirements
of FMVSS No. 138.
(D) AML is not aware of any customer
complaints, field communications,
incidents or injuries related to this
condition.
AML has additionally informed
NHTSA that all unsold vehicles in
AML’s custody and control will have
the TPMS Electronic Control Unit
reprogrammed prior to being sold.
In summation, AML believes that the
described noncompliance of the subject
vehicles is inconsequential to motor
vehicle safety, and that its petition, to
VerDate Sep<11>2014
14:37 Jul 02, 2015
Jkt 235001
exempt AML from providing recall
notification of noncompliance as
required by 49 U.S.C. 30118 and
remedying the recall noncompliance as
required by 49 U.S.C. 30120 should be
granted.
NHTSA notes that the statutory
provisions (49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and
30120(h)) that permit manufacturers to
file petitions for a determination of
inconsequentiality allow NHTSA to
exempt manufacturers only from the
duties found in sections 30118 and
30120, respectively, to notify owners,
purchasers, and dealers of a defect or
noncompliance and to remedy the
defect or noncompliance. Therefore, any
decision on this petition only applies to
the subject vehicles that AML no longer
controlled at the time it determined that
the noncompliance existed. However,
any decision on this petition does not
relieve vehicle distributors and dealers
of the prohibitions on the sale, offer for
sale, or introduction or delivery for
introduction into interstate commerce of
the noncompliant vehicles under their
control after AML notified them that the
subject noncompliance existed.

501.8.
