Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor Programming: Notes
The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) system interfaces with the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) through the class 2 serial data line. Once program mode is accessed through the Remote Control Door Lock Receiver (RCDLR), each sensor's unique identification code can be programmed into the RCDLR memory. Each sensor must transmit the unique code in the proper sequence. A magnet must be held close to the sensor in order to force the sensor to transmit the identification code. The receiver also sends a message to the Dash Integration Module (DIM) to sound the horn one time, indicating that the sensor properly transmitted an identification code. If the programming sequence is cancelled before any sensor is programmed, or if the vehicle's battery is disconnected, the RCDLR will remember all current identification codes. As soon as the receiver learns the first sensor identification code, all previously stored codes are erased from the receiver's memory.
