Operating electronic devices or
being near facilities using radio
wave frequencies similar to the
TPMS could cause the TPMS
sensors to malfunction.

If the TPMS is not functioning
properly it cannot detect or signal a
low tire pressure condition. See
your dealer for service if the TPMS
malfunction light and DIC message
comes on and stays on.

TPMS Sensor Matching
Process

Each TPMS sensor has a unique
identification code. The identification
code needs to be matched to a new
tire/wheel position after rotating the
vehicle

s tires or replacing one or

more of the TPMS sensors. The
TPMS sensor matching process
should also be performed after
replacing a spare tire with a road
tire containing the TPMS sensor.
The malfunction light and the DIC
message should go off at the next
ignition cycle. The sensors are
matched to the tire/wheel positions,
using a TPMS relearn tool, in the
following order: driver side front tire,

passenger side front tire, passenger
side rear tire, and driver side rear.
See your dealer for service or to
purchase a relearn tool. A TPMS
relearn tool can also be purchased.
See Tire Pressure Monitor Sensor
Activation Tool at
www.gmtoolsandequipment.com or
call 1-800-GM TOOLS
(1-800-468-6657).

There are two minutes to match the
first tire/wheel position, and
five minutes overall to match all four
tire/wheel positions. If it takes
longer, the matching process stops
and must be restarted.

The TPMS sensor matching
process is:

1. Set the parking brake.

2. Place the vehicle in Service

Mode. See

.

3. Make sure the Tire Pressure

info page option is turned on.
The info pages on the DIC can
be turned on and off through
the Options menu. See

.

4. Use the DIC controls on the

right side of the steering wheel
to scroll to the Tire Pressure
screen under the DIC
info page.

5. Press and hold

V

in the center

of the DIC controls.

The horn sounds twice to
signal the receiver is in relearn
mode and the TIRE
LEARNING ACTIVE message
displays on the DIC screen.

6. Start with the driver side

front tire.

7. Place the relearn tool against

the tire sidewall, near the valve
stem. Then press the button to
activate the TPMS sensor.
A horn chirp confirms that the
sensor identification code has
been matched to this tire and
wheel position.

8. Proceed to the passenger side

front tire, and repeat the
procedure in Step 7.

9. Proceed to the passenger side

rear tire, and repeat the
procedure in Step 7.
