TPMS Sensor Matching ProcessEach TPMS sensor has a unique identification code.Any time you rotate your vehicle’s tires or replaceone or more of the TPMS sensors, the identificationcodes will need to be matched to the new tire/wheelposition. The sensors are matched to the tire/wheelpositions in the following order: driver side fronttire, passenger side front tire, passenger side reartire, and driver side rear tire using a TPMS diagnostictool. See your dealer/retailer for service.The TPMS sensors can also be matched to eachtire/wheel position by increasing or decreasing thetire’s air pressure. If increasing the tire’s air pressure,do not exceed the maximum inflation pressureindicated on the tire’s sidewall.To decrease air-pressure out of a tire you can usethe pointed end of the valve cap, a pencil-styleair pressure gage, or a key.You have two minutes to match the first tire/wheelposition, and five minutes overall to match all four tire/wheel positions. If it takes longer thantwo minutes, to match the first tire and wheel,or more than five minutes to match all four tire andwheel positions the matching process stops andyou need to start over.The TPMS sensor matching process is outlined below:1. Set the parking brake.2. Turn the ignition switch to ON/RUN with theengine off.3. Press the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter’sLOCK and UNLOCK buttons at the same timefor approximately five seconds. The horn soundstwice to signal the receiver is in relearn modeand TIRE LEARNING ACTIVE message displayson the DIC screen.4. Start with the driver side front tire.5. Remove the valve cap from the valve cap stem.Activate the TPMS sensor by increasing ordecreasing the tire’s air pressure for five seconds,or until a horn chirp sounds. The horn chirp,which may take up to 30 seconds to sound,confirms that the sensor identification code hasbeen matched to this tire and wheel position.5-65
