TPM Sensor Identi cation Codes
Each TPM sensor has a unique identi cation code. Any
time you replace one or more of the TPM sensors, the
identi cation codes will need to be matched to the new
tire/wheel position. Each tire/wheel position is matched,
to a sensor, by increasing or decreasing the tire’s air
pressure. The sensors are matched, to the tire/wheel
positions, in the following order: left front (LF), right
front (RF), right rear (RR), and left rear (LR).
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 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 TPM system is ready,
and the sensor matching process can begin.
5. Start with the left (driver’s side) front tire.6. Remove the valve cap from the valve stem.
Activate the TPM 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, con rms that the
sensor identi cation code has been matched to
this tire position. To decrease the tire’s air-pressure
use the pointy end of the valve cap, a pencil-style
air pressure gage or a key.
7. Proceed to the right (passenger’s side) front tire,
and repeat the procedure in Step 6.
8. Proceed to the right (passenger’s side) rear tire,
and repeat the procedure in Step 6.
9. Proceed to the left (driver’s side) rear tire, and
repeat the procedure in Step 6.
10. After hearing the con rming double horn chirp, for
the left rear tire, exit the matching process by
turning the ignition switch to OFF.
11. Set all four tires to the recommended air pressure
level as indicated on the tire and loading information
label.
12. Put the valve caps back on the valve stems.
The TPM system will not function properly if one or
more of the TPM sensors are missing or inoperable.
If the system detects a missing or inoperable sensor
an error message of several dashes–––will be
shown on the message center display.
