Tire Monitoring System: Service and Repair





Sensor Training (Reset Procedure)

NOTE: The tire pressure monitoring system is not affected by wheel and tire rotation.

NOTE: The tire pressure sensor training procedure must be done on a single vehicle, in an area without radio frequency (RF) noise.

RF noise is generated by electrical motor and appliance operation, cellular telephones and remote transmitters, power inverters and portable entertainment equipment.

1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
2. Turn the ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN position. Do not wait more than 1 minute between each key cycle.
3. Press and release the brake pedal.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.










5. Turn the ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN position. Do not wait more than 1 minute between each key cycle.
6. The horn will sound once and the TPMS indicator will flash if train mode has been entered successfully. If equipped, the message center displays "TRAIN LF TIRE", place the special tool on the valve stem of the LF tire pressure sensor. The horn will sound briefly to indicate that the tire pressure sensor has been recognized by the TPMS module.
7. Within 2 minutes after the horn sounds, place the special tool on the valve stem of the RF tire pressure sensor.

NOTE: If the VSM (TPMS module integral to VSM) does not recognize any 1 of the 4 tire pressure sensors during the tire training procedure, the horn will sound twice and the message center (if equipped) will display "TIRE NOT TRAINED REPEAT" and the procedure must be repeated.

8. Repeat Step 7 for the RR and LR tires.
When the tire training procedure is complete, the horn will sound once and the message center (if equipped) will display "TIRE TRAINING MODE COMPLETE".
