Relearn Procedure

NOTE: To perform this procedure, a TPM Sensor Activation Tool (J-41760 or J-46079) must be used. The J-41760 is used on 2004 models where the stock tire pressure sensor has an internal magnetic reed switch (use J-46079 on all 2005 and later models, or on 2004 models where sensor has been replaced with a newer type component).
NOTE: If TPM Sensor Activation Tool (J-46079) is used, and vehicle is having trouble entering relearn mode, check batteries in activation tool. Low batteries may allow some functions to work, but not allow vehicle to perform learn function. When the internal battery is fresh (fully charged), the indicator is "full" or all dark. When the battery is depleted, the indicator shows "empty" or all light.
  1. Turn ignition switch to ACC position. Apply parking brake.
  2. Simultaneously press the keyless entry transmitter's lock and unlock buttons until a double horn chirp sounds, indicating the learn mode has been enabled.
    NOTE: If a horn chirp does not sound after 15 seconds using either tool, repeat step  1
  3. Starting with left front tire, use the appropriate Sensor Activation Tool (see Note above):
    • TPM Sensor Activation Tool (J-41760):  Hold Activation Tool over the valve stem until a horn chirp sounds.
    • TPM Sensor Activation Tool (J-46079):  Hold antenna of Activation Tool against the tire sidewall close to the wheel rim at the valve stem location, then press and release the ACTIVATE button and wait for a horn chirp.
  4. After horn chirp has sounded, repeat procedure for the next 3 sensors in the following order: Right Front, Right Rear, Left Rear.
  5. After left rear sensor has been learned, a double horn chirp will sound, indicating all 4 sensor IDs have been learned. Turn ignition switch to OFF position.
