Your vehicle’s TPMS can alert you about a low
tire pressure condition but it does not replace
normal tire maintenance. SeeTire Inspection and
Rotation on page 409andTires on page 392.
Notice:Do not use a tire sealant if your vehicle
has Tire Pressure Monitors. The liquid sealant
can damage the tire pressure monitor sensors.
Resetting the TPMS Identication
Codes
Each TPMS sensor has a unique identication
code. Any time you replace one or more of
the TPMS sensors or rotate the tires, the
identication codes will need to be matched to the
new tire and wheel position. The sensors are
matched to the tire and 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 GM dealer for service.
The TPMS sensors may also be matched to each
tire and wheel position by increasing or
decreasing the tire’s air pressure. When increasing
tire pressure do not exceed the maximum
ination pressure indicated on the tire’s sidewall.You will have two minutes to match the rst tire
and wheel position, and ve minutes overall
to match all four tire and wheel positions. If it takes
longer than two minutes, 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 TPM matching process is outlined below:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON with the
engine off.
3. Using the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter, lock and unlock the vehicle’s
doors.
4. Press the lock and unlock buttons, at the
same time, on the RKE transmitter. A single
horn chirp will sound, indicating that the
TPMS system is ready, and the sensor
matching process can begin.
5. Start with the driver’s side front tire.
