Tribute 2WD V6-3.0L (2008)
Tire Pressure Sensor: Procedures
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) SENSOR TRAINING
Note
^
If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, the sensors will go into a "sleep mode" to conserve battery power. It will be necessary
to wake them up so they will transmit the latest tire pressure information to the smart junction box (SJB).
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.
^
If a sensor does not respond to the special tool, 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
^
The smart junction box (SJB) has a 2-minute time limit between sensor responses. If the SJB does not recognize any 1 of the 4 tire pressure
sensors during this time limit, the horn will sound twice and the message center (if equipped) will display TIRES NOT TRAINED - REPEAT and
the entire procedure must be repeated.
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.
6. Place the activation tool on the LF tire sidewall opposite (180 degrees) from the valve stem. Press and release the test button on the special tool.
The horn will sound briefly to indicate that the tire pressure sensor has been recognized by the smart junction box (SJB). 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 SST 204-363 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).
Note
^
It may take up to 6 seconds to activate a tire pressure sensor. During this time, the SST 204-363 must remain in place 180 degrees from the
valve stem.
Note
^
If a sensor(s) does not respond to SST 204-363, 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,
