5. Turn on the TPMS tool by pressing the green selectbutton. Press the green select button until the
proper light sequence is illuminated as per the tool
user’s manual.
6. Follow the prompts on the HDS to activate the tire pressure sensors using the TPMS tool.
NOTE: See the HDS Help menu for specific
instructions. 7. Check the HDS screen, and note the active sensor
reception order of tire pressure sensor 1, 2, 3, 4.
NOTE: If the sensor does not respond to the TPMS tool, make sure the tool was turned on properly. Refer
to the HDS.
 If the tool start mode is OK, then rotate the tire 1/4 turn and retry.
 If the sensor still does not respond after one full rotation of the tire, then check for DTC 32, 34, 36,
and38withtheHDS.
8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).

NOTE: This problem occurs when the temperature
around the sensor is 40 °C ( 40 °F) or less. Note that
the diagnosis must be made in a place where ambient
temperature is 40 °C ( 40 °F) or more.
1. Test-drive the vehicle at 45 km/h (28 mph) or more for at least 1 minute.
The system is OK at this time. Clear the DTC
with the HDS.
Go to step 2.
2. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

determine the affected tire location and relate it to
the tire pressure sensor number (see page 18-53).
Go to step 5.
Check that the tire pressure sensor is properly
mounted. If necessary, replace the appropriate tire
pressure sensor (see page 18-76).
5. Check the TIRE 1, TIRE 2, TIRE 3, or TIRE 4 PRESSURE SENSOR TRANSMITTER BATTERY in
the TPMS DATA LIST with the HDS.
Replace the appropriate tire pressure sensor
(see page 18-76).
Check for loose terminals and poor
connections at the TPMS control unit. If necessary,
substitute a known-good TPMS control unit
(see page 18-75), and recheck.
