Tire Pressure Sensor Training

NOTE: In the following procedure, a TPM Activation Tool (204-363) must be used.
NOTE: The tire pressure sensor training procedure must be done on a single vehicle, in an area without Radio Frequency (RF) noise and at least 3 ft. (1 m) away from any other vehicle equipped with TPM system. RF noise is generated by electrical motor and appliance operation, cellular telephones and remote transmitters, power inverters and portable entertainment equipment.
NOTE: If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, the sensors will go into a "sleep mode" to conserve battery power. It will be necessary to wake them up so they will transmit the latest tire pressure information to the Body Control Module (BCM). Refer to TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR ACTIVATION .
NOTE: If a sensor does not respond to the TPM Activation Tool, attempt to activate the same sensor with the TPM Activation Tool. If the sensor still does not respond, move the vehicle to rotate the wheels at least one-fourth turn and attempt to activate the same sensor again.
NOTE: The Body Control Module (BCM) has a 2-minute time limit between sensor responses. If the Body Control Module (BCM) does not recognize any 1 of the 4 tire pressure sensors during this time limit, the horn will sound twice and the message center (if equipped) will display TIRE NOT TRAINED REPEAT and the entire procedure must be repeated.
  1. Set the tire pressure of all wheels to pressure specified on the tire and loading information label.
  2. Turn ignition switch to OFF position, then press and release brake pedal.
  3. Turn ignition switch from OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in RUN position. Do not wait more than one minute between each key cycle.
  4. Press and release the brake pedal.
  5. Turn ignition switch to OFF position.
  6. Turn ignition switch from OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in RUN position. Do not wait more than one minute between each key cycle.
  7. Place TPM Activation Tool on the left front tire wall at the valve stem. Press the "TEST" button. The horn will sound briefly to indicate that the tire pressure sensor has been recognized by the DDM.
    NOTE: It may take up to 6 seconds to activate a tire pressure sensor. During this time, the TPM Activation Tool must remain in place at the valve stem.
  8. Within 2 minutes after the horn sounds, place TPM Activation Tool on the right front tire wall at the valve stem. Then press the test button to train the right front tire pressure sensor. Repeat procedure for right rear and left rear tires, in that order.
    NOTE: Do not wait more than 2 minutes between training each sensor or the Body Control Module (BCM) will time out and the entire procedure must be repeated.
  9. When the tire training procedure is complete, the message center (if equipped) will display "TIRE TRAINING COMPLETE". For vehicles not equipped with a message center, successful completion of the training procedure will be verified by turning the ignition switch to the OFF position without the horn sounding. If the horn sounds twice when ignition is turned off, the training procedure was not successful.
