Tire Monitoring System: Service and Repair




Transmitter Wake Up Operation

NOTE:

This procedure must be done after replacement of a TPMS transmitter or BCM. New replacement transmitters are provided "asleep" and must first be "woken up" using Transmitter Activation Tool J-45295 or Signal Tech II Tool J-50190 before ID registration can be performed. Use the following procedure when using the Transmitter Activation Tool J-45295.

NOTE:

The Signal Tech II Tool (J-50190) can be used to perform the following functions. Refer to the Signal Tech II User Guide for additional information.

- Activate and display TPMS transmitter IDs
- Display tire pressure reported by the TPMS transmitter
- Read TPMS DTCs
- Register TPMS transmitter IDs

1) Turn ignition switch ON. Push the transmitter activation tool against the tire near the front left transmitter. Press the button for 5 seconds. The hazard warning lamps flash per the following diagram.











2) Repeat this procedure for each tire in the following order: FL, FR, RR, RL.
3) When the BCM finishes assigning each tire ID, the BCM flashes the hazard warning lamps and sends flashing indicator status by CAN according to the following time chart.





4) After completing wake up of all transmitters, make sure low tire pressure warning lamp goes out.
