TPMS Reminder Reset - Procedure 12

NOTE: Initialization is NOT required if re-inflating tires to the currently specified tire pressure.
NOTE: This system requires initializing after changing tires or wheels, after rotating the tires, or when tire pressure warning light blinks twice every second. Set tire pressure within the specified range before initializing. If the tire air pressure is not within the specified range, tire pressure warning system will not function. See appropriate manufacturer service information.
NOTE: If the negative battery terminal is disconnected, initialize the following systems after the terminal is reconnected: power window, power sliding door, power back door and moon roof. Refer to owner's manual or appropriate manufacturer service information.
CAUTION: Do not push the reset switch without adjusting tire inflation pressure. Otherwise, the low tire pressure warning light may not come on even if the tire pressure is low, or it may come on when the tire inflation pressure is actually normal. If you push the reset switch while the vehicle is moving, initialization is not performed.
  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 ignition switch to the ON position.
  3. Press and hold the tire pressure warning reset switch until the tire pressure warning light blinks 3 times at one-second intervals (continue pressing the switch for about 3-4 seconds). See Fig 1.
    NOTE: If the tire pressure warning light does not blink, turn ignition switch to OFF position and perform the initialization procedure again starting at step  2. If light still does not blink, there is a problem in the TPM system. See appropriate manufacturer service information.
  4. On 2004-06 models, drive the vehicle at 19 mph (30 km/h) or more to initialize the skid control ECU. This may take 30-60 minutes.
