What does service tire system soon mean in a Chrysler Town and Country?

"Service Tire System Soon" in a Chrysler Town and Country means that the vehicle's tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) has detected a problem. This isn't necessarily a flat tire, but rather one of the following:

* Low tire pressure: One or more tires are below the recommended pressure.

* TPMS sensor malfunction: A sensor in one or more tires might be faulty, not transmitting data correctly.

* Tire pressure loss: The system might be detecting slow leakage in a tire.

You should immediately check the tire pressures in all four tires (including the spare) using a reliable gauge. If a tire is low, inflate it to the recommended pressure (found on a sticker usually located on the driver's side doorjamb or in the owner's manual). If the warning light remains on after inflating, you'll need to have your vehicle checked by a mechanic to diagnose the problem—likely a faulty sensor.
