Tire Pressure Sensor: Testing and Inspection
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) SENSOR TRAINING
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 and at least 1 meter (3
feet) away from other vehicles equipped with TPMS.
RF noise is generated by electrical motor and appliance operation, cellular telephones and remote transmitters, power inverters and portable
entertainment equipment.
Note:
^
If a sensor does not respond to the special, attempt to activate the same sensor with the special tool. If the sensor still does not respond, move the
vehicle to rotate the wheels at least 1/4 of a turn and attempt to activate the same sensor again.
Note:
^
A new tire pressure sensor is shipped in an OFF mode (or battery saver mode) and must be turned ON before it can be trained. To turn the sensor
ON, inflate the tire to the recommended inflation pressure and wait at least 2 minutes, then continue with the sensor training procedure.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, then press and release the brake pedal.
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 one 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 one minute
between each key cycle.
Note:
^
It may take up to 6 seconds to activate a tire pressure sensor. During this time, the special tool must remain in place 180 degrees from the
valve stem.
Note:
^
If a sensor(s) does not respond to special tool, attempt to activate the same sensor(s) with the special tool. If the sensor(s) still does not
respond, move the vehicle to rotate the wheels at least 1/4 of a turn and attempt to activate the same sensor(s) again.
Note:
^
If the SJB 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.
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 LF tire sidewall opposite (180 degrees) from the valve stem. The horn will sound briefly to
indicate that the tire pressure sensor has been recognized by the smart junction box (SJB).
