•
The TPMS sensor matching process was started
but not completed or not completed successfully
after rotating the vehicle's tires. The TPMS
malfunction light should go off once the TPMS
sensor matching process is performed successfully.
See "TPMS Sensor Matching Process" later in
this section.
•
One or more TPMS sensors are missing or
damaged. The DIC message and the TPMS
malfunction light should go off when the TPMS
sensors are installed and the sensor matching
process is performed successfully. See your
dealer/retailer for service.
•
Replacement tires or wheels do not match your
vehicle's original equipment tires or wheels.
Tires and wheels other than those recommended
for your vehicle could prevent the TPMS from
functioning properly. See Buying New Tires on
page 312.
•
Operating electronic devices or being near facilities
using radio wave frequencies similar to the TPMS
could cause the TPMS sensors to malfunction.
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
will need to be matched to the new tire/wheel position.
2008 - Saturn VUE Owner Manual (July 23, 2007)
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. When increasing the tire's pressure, do
not exceed the maximum inflation pressure indicated on
the tire's sidewall. To decrease the tire's air-pressure
use the pointed end of the valve cap, a pencil-style
air pressure gage, or a key.
You have two minutes to match each tire and wheel
position. If it takes longer than two minutes to match any
tire and wheel position, the matching process stops
and you will need to start over.
The TPMS matching process is outlined below:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON/RUN with the engine
off.
3. Press and hold the RKE transmitter's Lock and
Unlock buttons at the same time, for about three
seconds. The horn will sound twice to indicate
the receiver is ready for the sensor matching
process to begin.
4. Start with the driver side front tire. The driver side
turn signal lamp comes on.
