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. Also,
the TPMS sensor matching process
should 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.

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. Turn the ignition to ON/RUN with

the engine off.

3. Use the MENU button to select

the Vehicle Information Menu in
the Driver Information
Center (DIC).

4. Use the thumbwheel to scroll to

the Tire Pressure Menu Item
screen.

5. Press the SET/CLR button to

begin the sensor matching
process.

A message requesting
acceptance of the process
should display.

6. Press the SET/CLR button again

to confirm the selection.

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

7. Start with the driver side

front tire.

8. 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.

9. Proceed to the passenger side

front tire, and repeat the
procedure in Step 8.

10. Proceed to the passenger side

rear tire, and repeat the
procedure in Step 8.

11. Proceed to the driver side rear

tire, and repeat the procedure
in Step 8. The horn sounds two
times to indicate the sensor
identification code has been
matched to the driver side rear
tire, and the TPMS sensor
matching process is no longer
active. The TIRE LEARNING
ACTIVE message on the DIC
display screen goes off.
