Program Mode

The Program Mode enables the TPM module to record each wheel transmitter ID in the following order (LF, RF, RR, and LR)  in memory. The module must learn each of the four tire pressure transmitters' identifications (ID.) This transmitter ID "learning" is used so that if the TPM module at this frequency is receiving any other signals, it won't be misinterpreted. Programming is initially done at the assembly plant. If a TPM module fails or one or more tire pressure transmitter(s) fails, after replacement of the faulty component, the TPM module must be reprogrammed to learn the transmitter ID. The DRBIII® places the module in Program Mode. It is possible to reprogram only one tire pressure sensor/transmitter. To program a sensor/transmitter place a magnet (special tool 8192) or transponder tool over the end of the LF wheel valve stem for six seconds. The magnet will energize and close a reed switch. The transponder tool will excite the transponder coil. With the reed switch closed, or the transponder coil energized the transmitter will transmit the identification (ID) and tire pressure to the module. After the module has learned that particular tire pressure sensor/transmitter ID, the magnet should be moved to each of the other wheels as directed by the DRBIII®. Hold the magnet/transponder tool at each wheel for six seconds before moving onto the next wheel. Exit the Program Mode. The module will store the locations of each transmitter ID. Using the DRBIII®, verify that the module programming is complete by looking at the tire pressure sensor/transmitter ID's and pressure values.
