5-56 Service and Appearance Care You have one minute to match the first tire/wheel position, and five minutes overall, to match all four tire/wheel positions. If it takes longer than one minute, 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 procedure is outlined below: 1. Set the parking brake. 2. Turn the ignition switch to ON/RUN with the engine off. 3. Turn the exterior lamp switch from AUTO to OFF four times within three seconds. A double horn chirp will sound and the TPMS low tire warning light starts flashing. The double horn chirp and flashing TPMS warning light indicates the TPMS matching process has started. The TPMS warning light should continue flashing throughout the matching procedure. The LOW TIRE message displays on the Driver Information Center (DIC). Start with the driver side front tire. Remove the valve cap from the valve cap stem. Activate the TPMS sensor by increasing or decreasing the tire's air pressure for 10 seconds, then stop and listen for a single horn chirp. The single horn chirp should sound within 15 seconds, confirming that the sensor identification code has been matched to this tire and wheel position. If you do not hear the confirming single horn chirp, turn the ignition switch to LOCK and start over beginning with Step 2. Proceed to the passenger side front tire, and repeat the procedure in Step 5. Proceed to the passenger side rear tire, and repeat the procedure in Step 5. TPMS Sensor Matching Process Each TPMS sensor has a unique identification code. Any time you replace one or more of the TPMS sensors or rotate the vehicle's tires, the identification codes 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/retailer 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 let air-pressure out of a tire you can use the pointed end of the valve cap, a pencil-style air pressure gage, or a key. 4. 5. 6. 7.

TPMS Sensor Matching
Process
Each TPMS sensor has a unique
identification code. Any time
you replace one or more of the
TPMS sensors or rotate the
vehicle’s tires, the identification
codes 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/retailer 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 let air-pressure out of a tire you
can use the pointed end of the
valve cap, a pencil-style air pressure
gage, or a key.
You have one minute to match
the first tire/wheel position,
and five minutes overall, to match
all four tire/wheel positions. If it
takes longer than one minute, 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
procedure is outlined below:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition switch to
ON/RUN with the engine off.
3. Turn the exterior lamp switch
from AUTO to OFF four times
within three seconds. A double
horn chirp will sound and
the TPMS low tire warning light
starts flashing. The double
horn chirp and flashing TPMS
warning light indicates the
TPMS matching process has
started. The TPMS warning
light should continue flashing
throughout the matching
procedure. The LOW TIRE
message displays on the Driver
Information Center (DIC).
4. Start with the driver side front tire.
5. Remove the valve cap from the
valve cap stem. Activate the
TPMS sensor by increasing or
decreasing the tire’s air pressure
for 10 seconds, then stop and
listen for a single horn chirp.
The single horn chirp should
sound within 15 seconds,
confirming that the sensor
identification code has been
matched to this tire and wheel
position. If you do not hear
the confirming single horn chirp,
turn the ignition switch to
LOCK and start over beginning
with Step 2.
6. Proceed to the passenger side
front tire, and repeat the
procedure in Step 5.
7. Proceed to the passenger side
rear tire, and repeat the
procedure in Step 5.
