TPMS Sensor Identication Codes
Each TPMS sensor has a unique identication
code. Any time you replace one or more of
the TPMS sensors or rotate your vehicle’s tires,
the identication codes will need to be matched
to the new tire/wheel position. The sensors
are matched to the tire/wheel positions in the
following order: driver’s side front tire, passenger’s
side front tire, passenger’s side rear tire, and
driver’s side rear tire using a TPMS diagnostic
tool. See your dealer for service.
The TPMS sensors may also be matched to each
tire/wheel position by increasing or decreasing
the tire’s air pressure. If increasing the tire’s
air pressure, do not exceed the maximum ination
pressure indicated on the tire’s sidewall.
You will have one minute to match the rst
tire/wheel position, and ve minutes overall, to
match all four tire/wheel positions. If it takes
longer than one minute, to match the rst tire
and wheel, or more than ve minutes to match
all four tire and wheel positions the matching
process stops and you will need to start over.The TPMS sensor matching procedure is
outlined below:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON with the
engine off.
3. Turn the exterior lamp switch from AUTO
to OFF four times within three seconds.
A double horn chirp will sound and the TPMS
low tire warning light starts ashing. The
double horn chirp and ashing TPMS warning
light indicates the TPMS matching process
has started. The TPMS warning light should
continue ashing throughout the matching
procedure. The LOW TIRE message displays
on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
4. Start with the driver’s side front tire.
5. Remove the valve cap from the valve cap
stem. Activate the TPMS sensor by increasing
or decreasing the tire’s air pressure for
10 seconds, then stop and listen for a single
horn chirp. The single horn chirp should sound
within 15 seconds, conrming that the sensor
identication code has been matched to this
tire and wheel position. If you do not hear the
conrming single horn chirp, turn the ignition
switch to LOCK and start over beginning with
388

Step 2. To let air-pressure out of a tire you
can use the pointed end of the valve cap,
a pencil-style air pressure gage, or a key.
6. Proceed to the passenger’s side front tire,
and repeat the procedure in Step 5.
7. Proceed to the passenger’s side rear tire,
and repeat the procedure in Step 5.
8. Proceed to the driver’s side rear tire, and
repeat the procedure in Step 5.
9. After hearing the conrming horn chirp for the
driver side rear tire, check to see if the TPMS
low tire warning light and the DIC LOW TIRE
messages have turned off. If yes, the TPMS
sensors have been relearned. Turn the ignition
switch to LOCK.
If the low tire warning light and the DIC SERV
TPM messages are on after completing Step 5
for the driver side rear tire, the sensor relearn
process has not been successful. Turn the
ignition switch to LOCK and repeat the
matching process beginning with Step 2.
10. Set all four tires to the recommended air
pressure level as indicated on the Tire and
Loading Information label.
11. Put the valve caps back on the valve stems.Federal Communications

Different Size Tires and Wheels
If you add wheels or tires that are a different size
than your original equipment wheels and tires, this
may affect the way your vehicle performs, including
its braking, ride and handling characteristics,
stability, and resistance to rollover. Additionally,
if your vehicle has electronic systems such as,
anti-lock brakes, traction control, and electronic
stability control, the performance of these systems
can be affected.{CAUTION:
If you add different sized wheels, your
vehicle may not provide an acceptable
level of performance and safety if tires
not recommended for those wheels are
selected. You may increase the chance
that you will crash and suffer serious
injury. Only use GM specic wheel and
tire systems developed for your vehicle,
and have them properly installed by a
GM certied technician.
SeeBuying New Tires on page 392and
Accessories and Modications on page 324
for additional information.

Changing a Flat Tire
If a tire goes at, avoid further tire and wheel
damage by driving slowly to a level place. Turn on
your hazard warning ashers. SeeHazard Warning
Flashers on page 162for more information.
{CAUTION:
Changing a tire can be dangerous. The
vehicle can slip off the jack and roll over
or fall on you or other people. You and
they could be badly injured or even killed.
Find a level place to change your tire.
To help prevent the vehicle from moving:
1. Set the parking brake rmly.
2. Put the shift lever in PARK (P).
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
3. If you have a four-wheel-drive vehicle,
be sure the transfer case is in a drive
gear – not in NEUTRAL.
4. Turn off the engine and do not restart
while the vehicle is raised.
5. Do not allow passengers to remain
in the vehicle.
To be even more certain the vehicle will
not move, put blocks at the front and
rear of the tire farthest away from the
one being changed. That would be the
tire on the other side, at the opposite
end of the vehicle.

When your vehicle has a at tire, use the following
example as a guide to assist you in the placement
of the wheel blocks.
The following information will tell you next how to
use the jack and change a tire.Removing the Spare Tire and Tools
The tools you will need are located under the
passenger’s seat.
For crew cab models, the jack and wheel blocks
are located under the driver’s side rear seat.
Crew Cab
401

For regular and
extended cab vehicles,
the jack and wheel
blocks are located
under the cover at the
center of the vehicle
behind the front seats.
To access the tools:
1. Move the seats
forward to access
the cover.2. Turn the wing nut on the cover
counterclockwise to remove it.
For crew cab models, reach under the rear
seat to access the jack and wheel blocks.
To reinstall the jack and wheel block assembly
in the mounting bracket, insert the tabs into
the jack base by pushing the blocks up into
the assembly. The outer hole in the jack base
aligns with the tab on the bracket. When
reinstalling, make sure the jack is secure, but
do not overtighten the jack in the bracket.
3. Remove the wheel blocks and the wheel
block retainer by turning the wing nut
counterclockwise.
4. Put the wheel blocks at the front and rear
of the tire farthest away from the one being
changed. That would be the tire on the
other side, at the opposite end of the vehicle.
5. Locate the wing nut used to retain the storage
bag and tools which is under the front
passenger’s seat. Remove it by turning the
wing nut counterclockwise.
You will use the jack handle extensions and the
wheel wrench to remove the underbody-mounted
spare tire.

D. Wheel Wrench
E. Wheel Blocks
1. Assemble the wheel wrench (D) and the
jack handle extensions (A).2. Insert the hoist end (chiseled end) of the
extension tool (C) through the hole in the
rear bumper and into the funnel-shaped guide.
The chiseled end of the extension is used
to lower the spare tire.
3. Turn the wheel wrench (D) counterclockwise
to lower the spare tire to the ground. Continue
to turn the wheel wrench until the spare tire
can be pulled out from under the vehicle.
If the spare tire does not lower to the ground,
the secondary latch is engaged causing
the tire not to lower. SeeSecondary Latch
System on page 412.

4. Tilt the retainer
when the tire has
been lowered,
and slide it up the
cable so it can
be pulled up through
the wheel opening.
5. Put the spare tire near the at tire.Removing the Flat Tire and
Installing the Spare Tire
Use the following pictures and instructions as a
guide in removing the at tire and raising the vehicle.
The tools you will be using include the jack (A),
the wheel blocks (B), the extension tool (C),
the jack handle extensions (D), and the wheel
wrench (E).
