Tire Pressure Sensor Training

NOTE: New tire pressure sensors are shipped in OFF mode and must be turned ON to be trained. Turn ON new tire pressure sensors by inflating the tire to specified tire pressure values and wait 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, proceed with tire pressure sensor training.
NOTE: For vehicles with different front and rear tire pressures, the tire pressure sensor must be trained after a wheel rotation. After the replacement of the tire pressure sensor and/or SJB, the tire pressure sensor must be trained. The TPM system is not affected after a wheel/tire rotation.
NOTE: The tire pressure sensor training procedure must be done, one vehicle at time, in a area without radio frequency noise, and 3 ft. (1 m) away from other vehicle equipped with TPM system.
NOTE: In the following procedure, a TPM Sensor Activation Tool must be used.
  1. Turn ignition switch to OFF position, then press the brake pedal.
  2. Turn ignition switch from OFF to RUN positions 3 times, ending in the RUN position.
    NOTE: Do not wait more than 1 minute between each key cycle.
  3. Press the brake pedal, turn ignition switch to OFF position.
  4. Turn ignition switch from OFF to RUN positions 3 times, ending in the RUN position.
    NOTE: Do not wait more than 1 minute between each key cycle.
    NOTE: The horn will sound, the message center (if equipped) will display "TRAIN LF TIRE", and the TPMS warning indicator will flash if the training mode has been entered successfully.
  5. Place the activation scan tool against the left front tire wall at the valve stem. Press the test button. The horn will sound to indicate the tire pressure sensor has been trained.
    NOTE: It may take 6 seconds to activate the tire pressure sensor. During this time frame the activation scan tool must remain in place. If the tire pressure sensor does not respond the activation of a scan tool, rotate the tire at least a 1/4 turn and try to activate again.
    NOTE: If the SJB does not recognize any one of the tires, the horn will sound twice, the message center will display "TIRE NOT TRAINED REPEAT" (if equipped), and the training procedure must be repeated.
    NOTE: Do not wait more than 2 minutes between each tire pressure sensor training.
  6. Repeat procedure on the 3 remaining tires, in the following order - Right Front, Right Rear, Left Rear.
  7. The horn will sound to indicate that each tire pressure sensor has been trained.
    NOTE: Do not wait more than 2 minutes between each tire pressure sensor training.
  8. Turn ignition switch to OFF position. If the horn does not sound, the training procedure is complete.
    NOTE: Vehicle equipped with a message center will verify the training procedure is complete if the message center displays "TIRE TRAINING COMPLETE".
    NOTE: Vehicle not equipped with a message center, if the horn does sound when the ignition switch is turn to the OFF position, repeat the training procedure.
  9. Using an Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS), or equivalent, tester, record the trained tire pressure sensor IDs in the customer's warranty booklet.
