Tire Pressure Sensor Initiation
NOTE:
In the following procedure, a TPMS exciter scan tool must be used.
NOTE:
When 4 sensors have been learned as road wheels, it is not possible to learn new road wheel sensors on the same ignition cycle.
NOTE:
Do not perform this procedure if vehicle is parked on a metal floor, roof, or on an alignment rack or lift. The metal will transfer the RF signals, which can cause the learn procedure to fail and set Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
NOTE:
A new sensor's default state will be Storage Auto (High Line).
- Holding TPMS exciter within 3" (76 mm) of the sensor valve, read each tire pressure sensor ID in the following order: front left, front right, rear left, then rear right.NOTE: It is possible to avoid reading each sensor by reading back the learned sensor list and only registering the new sensor in the missing sensor position (if there is a missing position).NOTE: The handheld test tool will automatically check to see whether the receiver is High or Low Line and configure sensors accordingly, writing their ID(s) to the receiver memory.NOTE: Sensors which were already configured as Base (Low Line) will take longer to read.
- Connect TPMS exciter to Data Link Connector (DLC) located under left side of instrument panel. Register the 4 sensor IDs to receiver. See Fig 1 and Fig 2 .
- Disconnect TPMS exciter from diagnostic link. Cycle ignition and wait 3 minutes. Ensure "NORMAL RECEIVER STATE" is now displayed.
- Release air from each road tire, individually, checking that the system turns on the TREAD lamp and the correct wheel location LED (may take up to three minutes). If it does not, turn wheel a quarter-turn and recheck. If system does not function properly after rotating wheel, use the handheld tool to check that the correct ID has been registered for each wheel.
