I believe it stands for "service Tire Pressure Monitor." At least, other vehicles have a TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)

Service TPM means "Service Tire Pressure Monitor" The first thing that will need done is to relearn the TPM.The vehicle sounds like it's confused as to the correct location of tire pressure sensors. Whenever the tires are rotated this procedure has to be performed.If that procedure was performed then this could possibly be a faulty TPM sensor but will need scanned to confirm the problem.

I had issues with the serve tpm light on my 2006 h3. I ran the reset sequence and found that the horn did not beep on the rear passenger tire but it did on the other three. figured the sensor is bad so I checked the spare and it was low so I inflated it and ran the sequence again but this time I did the spare instead of the rear passenger tire. horn beeped on spare. serve tpm light has not come back on. the system recognizes 4 sensors. now I now I need a new sensor for the passenger rear tire. at least I don't have that annoying light on anymore and I will have to eyeball the passenger rear tire for flats, lol.

Renee, your language is not set to English. When you switch to English I believe it will read Service TPM

I have a 2006 H3. The Service TPM light comes on then after a few minutes shuts off. I checked everything and found that I had a low tire. After I aired up the tire the light has not come on again( been months) until yesterday. Just like before light came on and it shut off in a few minutes. I went and checked the pressure in my tires and aired one tire up . No more light today.

When the TPM light comes on check air pressure including the spare tire, that should take care of things, if it keeps coming on you might have a tire sensor that is bad or a flat tire that is loosing air slowly...
