TPMS Sensor Matching
Process

Each TPMS sensor has a unique
identification code. Any time you
rotate your vehicle's tires or replace
one or more of the TPMS sensors,
the identification codes will need to
be matched to the new tire/wheel
position. The sensors are matched
to the tire/wheel positions in the
following order: driver side front tire,
passenger side front tire, passenger
side rear tire, and driver side rear
tire using a TPMS diagnostic tool.
See your dealer for service.

The TPMS sensors can also be
matched to each tire/wheel position
by increasing or decreasing the
tire's air pressure. If increasing the

tire's air pressure, do not exceed
the maximum inflation pressure
indicated on the tire's sidewall.

To decrease air-pressure out of a
tire you can use the pointed end of
the valve cap, a pencil-style air
pressure gauge, or a key.

You have two minutes to match the
first tire/wheel position, and
five minutes overall to match all four
tire/wheel positions. If it takes longer
than two minutes, to match the first
tire and wheel, or more than
five minutes to match all four tire
and wheel positions the matching
process stops and you need to
start over.

The TPMS sensor matching process
is outlined below:

1. Set the parking brake.

2. Place the vehicle power mode in

ON/RUN/START. See Ignition
Positions on page 8‑18
.

3. Select the vehicle information

menu using the menu button.

4. Select the tire pressure screen

using the up/down thumbwheel.

5. Press and hold SET to begin the

sensor matching process.

6. Press SET to confirm selection.

The horn sounds twice to signal
the receiver is in relearn mode
and TIRE LEARNING ACTIVE
message displays on the DIC
screen.
