TPMS Deactivation And Reactivation

assemblies that do not have TPMS Sensors, such as
when installing winter wheel and tire assemblies on
your vehicle.
To deactivate the TPMS, first, replace all four wheel and
tire assemblies (road tires) with those not equipped
with TPM Sensors. Then, drive the vehicle for 20
minutes above 25 km/h. The TPMS will chime and the
Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will flash on and
off for 75 seconds and then remain on solid. In addition,
the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) will
