could prevent the TPMS from
functioning properly. SeeBuying
New Tires on page 10‑59.
.Operating electronic devices or
being near facilities using radio
wave frequencies similar to the
TPMS could cause the TPMS
sensors to malfunction.
If the TPMS is not functioning it
cannot detect or signal a low tire
condition. See your dealer for
service if the TPMS malfunction
light and DIC message come on
and stay on.
TPMS Sensor Matching
Process
Each TPMS sensor has a unique
identification code. Any time you
rotate your vehicle's tires or replace
one or more of the TPMS sensors,
the identification codes need to be
matched to the new tire/wheel
position. Also, the TPMS sensor
matching process should be
performed after replacing a spare
tire with a road tire containing the
TPMS sensor in order for the malfunction light and the DIC
message to go off at the next
ignition cycle. 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 for
service.
The TPMS sensors can 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 inflation pressure
indicated on the tire's sidewall.
To decrease air pressure out of a
tire you can use the pointed end of
the valve cap, a pencil-style air
pressure gauge, or a key.
You have two minutes to match the
first tire/wheel position, and
five minutes overall to match all four
tire/wheel positions. If it takes longer
than two minutes to match the first
tire and wheel, or more than
five minutes to match all four tire
and wheel positions, the matching
process stops and you need to
start over.
The TPMS sensor matching process
is outlined below:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition to ON/RUN with
the engine off.
3. Use the MENU button to select the Vehicle Information menu in
the Driver Information
Center (DIC).
4. Use the thumbwheel to scroll to the Tire Pressure menu item
screen.
5. Press the SET/CLR button to begin the sensor matching
process.
A message asking if you are
sure you want to begin this
process should appear.
