If you or someone else changes tires,
you or someone else can also
undertake the steps for the TPMS to
complete the ID signal code
registration:
After tires have been changed, place
the ignition in the ON mode, then back
to ACC or OFF modes.
Wait for about 15 minutes.
After about 15 minutes, drive the
vehicle at a speed of at least 16 mph
(25 km/h) for 20 minutes and the tire
pressure sensor ID signal code will be
registered automatically.
Note: If the vehicle is driven within
about 15 minutes of changing tires, the
warning light will flash because the
sensor ID signal code would not have
been registered. If this happens, park
the vehicle for about 15 minutes, after
which the sensor ID signal code will
register upon driving the vehicle for
20 minutes.
Replacing Tires And Wheels
Note:
When replacing/repairing the tires or
wheels or both, have the work done by
your authorized dealer, or the tire
pressure sensors may be damaged.
78
The wheels equipped on your
vehicle are specially designed for
installation of the tire pressure sensors.
Do not use non-genuine wheels,
otherwise it may not be possible to
install the tire pressure sensors.
Be sure to have the tire pressure
sensors installed whenever tires or
wheels are replaced.
When having a tire or wheel or both
replaced, the following types of tire
pressure sensor installations are
possible:
The tire pressure sensor is removed
from the old wheel and installed to the
new one.
The same tire pressure sensor is
used with the same wheel. Only the tire
is replaced.
A new tire pressure sensor is
installed to a new wheel.
Note:
The tire pressure sensor ID signal
code must be registered when a new
tire pressure sensor is purchased. For
purchase of a tire pressure sensor and
registration of the tire pressure sensor
ID signal code, consult your authorized
dealer.
When reinstalling a previously
removed tire pressure sensor to a
wheel, replace the grommet (seal
between valve body/sensor and wheel)
for the tire pressure sensor.
Caution!
The TPMS has been optimized for the
original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS
pressures and warning have been
established for the tire size equipped on
your vehicle. Undesirable system operation
or sensor damage may result when using
replacement equipment that is not of the
same size, type, and/or style. The TPM
sensor is not designed for use on
aftermarket wheels and may contribute to
a poor overall system performance or
sensor damage. Customers are
encouraged to use OEM wheels to assure
proper TPM feature operation.
Using aftermarket tire sealants may
cause the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) sensor to become
inoperable. After using an aftermarket tire
sealant it is recommended that you take
your vehicle to your authorized dealer to
have your sensor function checked.
After inspecting or adjusting the tire
pressure always reinstall the valve stem
cap. This will prevent moisture and dirt
from entering the valve stem, which could
damage the TPMS sensor.
