TPMS reset CADILLAC DTS 2006 1.G Owners Manual

Resetting the TPMS Sensor
Identication Codes
Each TPMS sensor has a unique identication code.
Any time you replace one or more of the TPMS sensors,
rotate the vehicle’s tires, or install a full-size spare
that has a TPMS sensor, the sensor’s identication
codes will need to be matched to the new tire/wheel
position. Each tire/wheel position is matched to
the TPMS sensor using a TPMS diagnostic tool. See
your GM dealer for service.
The TPMS sensors may also be matched to each
tire/wheel position by increasing or decreasing the tire’s
air pressure. When increasing the tire’s air pressure,
do not exceed the maximum tire pressure indicated on
the tire’s sidewall.
You will have two minutes to match the rst tire/wheel
position, and ve minutes overall, to match all
four tire/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 TPMS matching process is outlined below:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition switch to RUN with the engine off.
3. Press the Driver Information Center (DIC) vehicle
information button until the RELEARN TIRE
POSITIONS displays.
4. Press the set/reset button to allow the system to
learn the tire positions. The horn will sound twice
to indicate that the TPMS is ready, and then
the message TIRE LEARNING ACTIVE will display.
The sensor matching process can begin.
5. Start with the driver’s side front tire.
6. Remove the valve cap from the valve stem.
Activate the TPMS sensor by increasing or
decreasing the tire’s air pressure for ve seconds,
or until a horn chirp sounds. The horn chirp,
which may take up to 30 seconds, conrms that the
sensor identication code has been matched to
this tire position. To decrease the tire’s air-pressure
use the pointed end of the valve cap, a pencil-style
air pressure gage or a key.

Tire Inspection and Rotation
Tires should be rotated every 5,000 to 8,000 miles
(8 000 to 13 000 km).
Any time you notice unusual wear, rotate your tires as
soon as possible and check wheel alignment. Also
check for damaged tires or wheels. SeeWhen It Is Time
for New Tires on page 5-64andWheel Replacement
on page 5-69for more information.
The purpose of regular rotation is to achieve more
uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle. The rst rotation
is the most important. SeeScheduled Maintenance
on page 6-4.
If your vehicle has a compact spare tire, it should not be
included in the tire rotation process. Use the four-tire
rotation pattern shown.A ve-tire rotation pattern may be used for your
professional vehicle, if it has a full-size spare tire and
wheel assembly that matches the original equipment
tires and wheels in size, type and brand. The correct
ve-tire rotation pattern is shown.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and
rear ination pressures as shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label. SeeLoading Your Vehicle on
page 4-31.
Vehicles that have the Tire Pressure Monitor System
(TPMS) will need to have the sensors reset after a tire
rotation is performed. SeeTire Pressure Monitor
System on page 5-59. Four-Tire Rotation Pattern
