TPM Learn Mode Description: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 GMC Sierra, 2006 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2006 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2006 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) system uses the passenger door module (PDM) (w/YE9/5B5), remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR) (w/o YE9/5B5), body control module (BCM), exterior lamp switch, 4 RF transmitting pressure sensors and the serial data circuit to perform the TPM learn mode functions. The sensor learn procedure must be performed after every tire rotation, PDM/RCDLR replacement, or sensor replacement. Once the TPM learn mode has been enabled, each of the sensor's unique identification (ID) codes can be learned in to the PDM/RCDLR memory. When a sensor ID has been learned, the PDM/RCDLR sends a serial data message to the BCM to sound a horn chirp. This verifies the sensor has transmitted its ID and the PDM/RCDLR has received and learned it. The PDM/RCDLR must learn the sensor IDs in the proper order to determine correct sensor location. The first learned ID is assigned to the left front location, the second to right front, the third to right rear and the fourth to left rear.
