Initializing Tire Pressure Monitor System

NOTE: When initializing the system, the present tire condition is stored as a standard.

During initialization, the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter measures the inflation pressure of the tires, and registers the signals that are transmitted into the tire pressure monitor ECU at a frequency of one per minute. The initialization process is completed when the signals from the 4 tires (including the spare tire) have been received.

  1. Set the tire pressure of all wheels to pressure specified on the tire and loading information label.
  2. With the vehicle stopped and parking brake applied, turn the engine switch on (IG).
  3. Use the Lft/Rht ARROW buttons on the right-hand steering wheel control pad (see Fig 1) and select the GEAR icon.
  4. Use the Up/Dwn ARROW buttons and select VEHICLE SETTINGS. Then press ENTER (center button).
  5. Use the Up/Dwn ARROW buttons and select TPMS. Then press and hold ENTER until the tire pressure warning light will blink slowly 3 times.
    NOTE: "- -" will be displayed for inflation pressure of each tire on the multiinformation display while the tire pressure warning system determines the position of each tire. When position of each tire is determined, the inflation pressure of each tire will be displayed on the multi-information display.
  6. Drive the vehicle at approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more for approximately 10 to 30 minutes until the inflation pressure of each tire is displayed on the multi-information display.
