Walk-Around Learn
Walk-Around Learn Procedure
When the tires are rotated or replaced on a vehicle with a tire pressure monitoring system, the vehicle
must re-learn the position of each tire. The Walk-Around Learn procedure is used to activate each
sensor in its new location, store the sensor information, and download to the vehicle’s tire pressure
sensor receiver.
The unit will learn and store the location of each sensor as the user walks around the vehicle in a U-
shaped pattern, starting at the left side (looking forward) front-most tire location. If this is a dual tire
axle, start with the inner tire location. The new location information (tire IDs) for each sensor collected
is then uploaded to the receiver in the vehicle.
Perform the following steps:
1. Power up the vehicle’s tire pressure sensor receiver (see vehicle's service information for specific
details).
2. Press and hold the Setup button until a list of menu items appear.
3. Select the Walk-Around Learn icon.
4. Select the number of tires on the vehicle.
5. Activate each of the vehicle's wheel sensors in the proper order (counter-clockwise and inner tire
to outer tire, starting from the front left tire). See the "Walk-Around Learn" card included with the
Tool.
6. Hold the SmarTire
®
system Tool’s antenna against the tire’s upper sidewall in line with the valve
stem. Press the Learn button. The Tool is able to receive signals from an inner tire on a dual
tire configuration as well. Just hold the Tool in line with the circumferential position of the valve
stem of the inner wheel, as indicated in Figure 7.

next tire position. Repeat until all the tires have been learned.
