Vehicle Care

.

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 condition. See your dealer
for service if the TPMS malfunction
light and DIC message, if equipped,
come on and stay 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. 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, if equipped, 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 tire. 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 and hold the SET/CLR

button to begin the sensor
matching process.

A message requesting
acceptance of the process
may display.

6. If requested, 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.
