See your dealer for service or to
purchase a relearn tool.
There are two minutes to match the
first tire/wheel position, and
five minutes overall to match all four
tire/wheel positions. If it takes
longer, the matching process stops
and must be restarted.
The TPMS sensor matching
process is:1. Set the parking brake.
2. Place the vehicle power mode in ON/RUN/START. See
Ignition Positions 0173.
3. Make sure the Tire Pressure info display option is turned on.
The info displays on the DIC

on the right side of the steering
wheel to scroll to the Tire
Pressure screen under the DIC

5. Press and hold the SEL button located in the center of the
five-way DIC control.
The horn sounds twice to
signal the receiver is in relearn
mode and the TIRE
LEARNING ACTIVE message

6. Start with the driver side front tire.
7. Place the relearn tool against the tire sidewall, near the valve
stem. Then press the button to
activate the TPMS sensor.
A horn chirp confirms that the
sensor identification code has
been matched to this tire and
wheel position.
8. Proceed to the passenger side front tire, and repeat the
procedure in Step 7. 9. Proceed to the passenger side
rear tire, and repeat the
procedure in Step 7.
10. Proceed to the driver side rear tire, and repeat the procedure
in Step 7. The horn sounds two

matched to the driver side rear
tire, and the TPMS sensor
matching process is no longer
active. The TIRE LEARNING
ACTIVE message on the DIC
display screen goes off.

be towed on a platform trailer with
all four wheels off of the ground.
For vehicles being dinghy towed,
the vehicle should be run at the

2. Open the driver door.
3. With the vehicle off, press the brake pedal and press the
START/STOP button to start
the engine (the green indicator
light on the button will
illuminate).

5. Press the ENGINE START/ STOP button again. The
engine will stop, the DIC will display SHIFT TO PARK, and
the amber indicator light on the
switch illuminates. See
Transmission Messages
0135.

BCM 3. The START/STOP
button indicator lights will be
off. See Instrument Panel Fuse
Block 0253.
7. Close the driver door.Caution
If the vehicle is towed without
performing each of the steps
