Tire Pressure Monitor System
The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) system uses radio
and sensor technology to check tire pressure levels. If
your vehicle has this feature, sensors are mounted
on each tire and wheel assembly, except the spare tire.
The TPM sensors transmit tire pressure readings to
a receiver located in the vehicle.
When a low tire pressure condition is detected, the TPM
system will display the CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
warning message on the Driver Information Center
(DIC); and at the same time illuminate the low tire
pressure warning symbol. For additional information and
details about the DIC operation and displays seeDIC
Operation and Displays on page 3-51andDIC Warnings
and Messages on page 3-62.
When the tire pressure
monitoring system warning
light is lit, one or more
of your tires is signicantly
under-inated.
You should stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inate them to the proper pressure as
indicated on the vehicle’s tire information placard.Driving on a signicantly under-inated tire causes the
tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-ination also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread
life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping
ability. Each tire, including the spare, should be
checked monthly when cold and set to the
recommended ination pressure as specied in the
vehicle placard and owner’s manual.
The Certication/Tire label or the Tire and Loading
Information label (tire information placard) shows the
size of your vehicle’s original tires and the correct
ination pressure for your vehicle’s tires when they are
cold. SeeInation - Tire Pressure on page 5-74. For
the location of the tire and loading information label, see
Loading Your Vehicle on page 4-50.
Your vehicle’s TPM system can alert you about a low
tire pressure condition but it does not replace normal tire
maintenance. SeeTire Inspection and Rotation on
page 5-78andTires on page 5-65.
Notice:Do not use a tire sealant if your vehicle is
equipped with Tire Pressure Monitors. The liquid
sealant can damage the tire pressure monitor
sensors.

CADILLAC ESCALADE 2004 2.G User Guide TPM Sensor Identi�cation Codes
Each TPM sensor has a unique identi�cation code. Any

TPM Sensor Identication Codes
Each TPM sensor has a unique identication code. Any
time you rotate your vehicle’s tires or replace one or
more of the TPM sensors, the identication 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 sensor matching process is outlined below:
1. Set the Parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition switch to RUN with the engine off.3. Turn the exterior lamp switch from “Off” to “On” four
times within 3 seconds. A double horn chirp will
sound and the TPM low tire warning light will begin to
ash. The double horn chirp and ashing TPM
warning light indicate that the TPM matching process
has started. The TPM warning light should continue
ashing throughout the matching procedure. The
SERVICE TIRE MONITOR message will be
displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
4. Start with the left (driver’s side) front tire.
5. Remove the valve cap from the valve cap stem.
Activate the TPM sensor by increasing or decreasing
the tire’s air pressure for 10 seconds, then stop and
listen for a single horn chirp. The single horn chirp
should sound within 15 seconds, conrming that the
sensor identication code has been matched to this
tire and wheel position. If you do not hear the
conrming single horn chirp, you will need to start
over with step number one. To let air-pressure out of
a tire you can use the pointy end of the valve cap, a
pencil-style air pressure gage or a key.
6. Proceed to the right (passenger’s side) front tire,
and repeat the procedure in step 5.
