CAUTION: Never attempt to train more than one
vehicle at a time. System is capable of reading tire
pressure sensor transmissions from other near-by
vehicles.
Each time a wheel rotation or tire pressure sensor
replacement occurs the tire pressure sensors must be
retrained. This is necessary to inform the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) that a sensor
change was made and where. Retraining is accom-
plished through the EVIC used in conjunction with a
Re-learn Magnet, Special Tool 8821.
NOTE: Use the following procedure to retrain all
four (4) road wheel tire pressure sensors. No
attempt should be made to retrain individual sen-
sors.
(1) Retrieve Re-learn Magnet, Special Tool 8821.
(2) Press MENU Button on EVIC until9RETRAIN
TIRE SENSORS - NO9is displayed.
(3) Press STEP button to select9YES9.
NOTE: There is a 60 second timer for training the
first sensor and a 60 second timer between training
the remaining sensors. If any of these timers expire,
the EVIC will abort the training procedure.
NOTE: If at any time the EVIC display reads(TRAIN-
ING ABORTED(, move the vehicle ahead at least
one foot and repeat the entire retraining procedure.
(4) Press MENU button to start retraining. Dis-
play will read9TRAIN LEFT FRONT TIRE9
NOTE: The order for retraining all four sensors is:
²Left Front
²Right Front
²Right Rear
²Left Rear
(5) Starting at left front tire, place Re-learn Mag-
net over valve stem (Fig. 17). Within approximately 5
seconds, vehicle horn will chirp indicating training
complete at that particular sensor. Remove the mag-
net.
(6) Repeat step (5) on remaining sensors as indi-
cated by EVIC until all four TPM sensors positions
are trained.
(7) Once EVIC displays9TRAINING COMPLETE9,
pressing either STEP, C/T, RESET or MENU button
will exit training routine.
REMOVAL
(1) Remove tire and wheel assembly from vehicle.
(Refer to 22 - TIRES/WHEELS - REMOVAL)
CAUTION: The cap used on this valve stem con-
tains an O-ring seal to prevent contamination and
moisture from entering the valve stem. Retain this
valve stem cap for reuse. Do not substitute a regu-
lar valve stem cap in its place.
CAUTION: The valve stem used on this vehicle is
made of aluminum and the core is nickel plated
brass. The original valve stem core must be rein-
stalled and not substituted with a valve stem core
made of a different material. This is required to pre-
vent corrosion in the valve stem caused by the dif-
ferent metals.
(2) Dismount tire from wheel following tire
changer manufacturers instructions while paying
special attention to the following to avoid damaging
the pressure sensor:
(a) When breaking the tire bead loose from the
wheel rim, avoid using the Bead Breaker in the
area of the sensor. That includes both front and
rear beads of the tire.
(b) When preparing to dismount the tire from
the wheel, carefully insert the mounting/dimount-
ing tool at the valve stem   10É (Fig. 18), then pro-
ceed to dismount the tire from the wheel. Use this
process on both the upper and lower tire beads.
(3) Using a thin wall socket, remove special nut
retaining sensor to wheel (Fig. 19).
(4) Remove sensor from wheel (Fig. 19).

INSTALLATION
NOTE: Before reinstalling a tire pressure sensor,
replace sealing grommet at base of valve stem.
(1) Wipe area clean where sensor sealing grommet
contacts wheel. Make sure surface of wheel is not
damaged.
(2) Install sensor in wheel as shown (Fig. 19). Do
not attempt to mount sensor otherwise, damage may
occur.
(3) Using a thin wall socket, install special sensor
nut (Fig. 19). Tighten nut to 4 N´m (35 in. lbs.)
torque.
CAUTION: Over-torquing the sensor nut by as little
as 12 N´m (106 in. lbs.) may result in sensor sepa-
ration from the valve stem. Under this condition,
the sensor may still function, however, the condi-
tion should be corrected immediately.
(4) Mount tire on wheel following tire changer
manufacturers instructions, paying special attention
to the following to avoid damaging tire pressure sen-
sor:
(a) Rotating Wheel Tire Changers - Once the
wheel is mounted to the changer, position the sen-
sor valve stem approximately 210É from the head
of the changer in a clockwise direction before rotat-
ing the wheel (also in a clockwise direction) to
mount the tire (Fig. 20). Use this procedure on
both the upper and lower tire beads.
(b) Rotating Tool Tire Changers - Position the
wheel on the changer so that the sensor valve stem
is approximately 210É from the head of the changer
in a clockwise direction from the mounting end of
the tool (Fig. 21) Make sure the sensor is clear of
the lower bead breaker area to avoid damaging the
sensor when the breaker rises (Fig. 21). Rotate the
tool in a counterclockwise direction to mount the
tire. Use this procedure on both the upper and
lower tire beads.
(5) Install wheel and tire assembly on vehicle.

TIRES
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - TIRE
Tires are designed and engineered for each specific
vehicle. They provide the best overall performance
for normal operation. The ride and handling charac-
teristics match the vehicle's requirements. With
proper care they will give excellent reliability, trac-
tion, skid resistance, and tread life.
Driving habits have more effect on tire life than
any other factor. Careful drivers will obtain, in most
cases, much greater mileage than severe use or care-
less drivers. A few of the driving habits which will
shorten the life of any tire are:
²Rapid acceleration
²Severe application of brakes
²High-speed driving
²Taking turns at excessive speeds
²Striking curbs and other obstacles
²Operating vehicle with over or under inflated
tire pressures
Radial ply tires are more prone to irregular tread
wear. It is important to follow the tire rotation inter-
val shown in the section on Tire Rotation. This will
help to achieve a greater tread-life potential.
TIRE IDENTIFICATION
Tire type, size, load index and speed rating are
encoded in the letters and numbers imprinted on the
side wall of the tire. Refer to the Tire Identification
chart to decipher the code. For example purposes, the
tire size P225/60 R 16 97 T is used in the chart. An
All Season type tire will also have eitherM+S,M&
SorM-S(indicating mud and snow traction)
imprinted on the side wall. An Extra or Light Load
marking ªXLº or ªLLº may also be listed on the side-
wall. The absence of an ªXLº or ªLLº marking infers
a standard load tire.

SENSOR - TPM (Continued)

CAUTION: Do not try to install a tire pressure sen-
sor in a steel wheel or aftermarket wheel. Use only
in original style factory wheels.
OPERATION
The tire pressure sensors are battery operated.
Each sensor transmits tire pressure data approxi-
mately once every minute at speeds above 13 mph
(20 km/h). Each sensor's (transmitter) broadcast is
uniquely coded so that the SKREEM can monitor the
states of each individual sensor on the vehicle.
Unlike prior model year TPM systems, a magnet is
not required to retrain the system. The SKREEM
automatically learns while driving after a sensor has
been replaced. (Refer to 22 - TIRES/WHEELS/TIRE
PRESSURE MONITORING/SENSOR - STANDARD
PROCEDURE) For additional information, refer to Appropriate
Diagnostic Information.
CAUTION
CAUTION: The use of tire sealants is strictly prohib-
ited for vehicles equipped with the Tire Pressure
Monitoring system. Tire sealants can clog tire pres-
sure sensors.
CAUTION: Tire pressure sensor valve stem caps
and cores are specially designed for the sensors.
Due to risk of corrosion, do not use a standard
valve stem cap or core in a tire pressure sensor in
place of the original equipment style sensor cap
and core.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to install a tire pressure
sensor in a steel wheel or aftermarket wheel. Use
tire pressure sensors in original style factory
wheels only.
NOTE: TPM thresholds have been established for
the original tire size equipped on the vehicle. Use
original size tires only to maintain system accuracy.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - TIRE PRESSURE
SENSOR
NOTE: Tire pressure may increase from 2 to 6 psi
(14 to 41 kPa) during normal driving conditions. Do
NOT reduce this normal pressure build up.
If a fault in the system is detected, always check
air pressure in the tires first with a known accurate
air gauge and correct the inflation pressure. If any
tire is low, inspect allthe tires. If the gauge-read pressure in the tires does not
indicate a tire pressure issue, refer to the appropri-
ate diagnostic information.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TIRE PRESSURE
SENSOR RETRAIN
CAUTION: If a sensor is replaced, the vehicle must
be parked for a minimum of 15 minutes for the sys-
tem to be ready to learn the new sensor ID code.
(1) Park the car for a minimum of 15 minutes.
(2) Drive the vehicle for a minimum of five min-
utes while maintaining a continuous speed above 13
mph (20 km/h). During this time the system will
learn the new sensor ID code and will clear any
DTC's automatically.
NOTE: If a sensor cannot be trained, refer to appro-
priate diagnostic information.
REMOVAL
(1) Remove tire and wheel assembly from vehicle.
(Refer to 22 - TIRES/WHEELS - REMOVAL)
CAUTION: The cap used on this valve stem con-
tains an O-ring seal to prevent contamination and
moisture from entering the valve stem. Retain this
valve stem cap for reuse. Do not substitute a regu-
lar valve stem cap in its place.
CAUTION: The valve stem used on this vehicle is
made of aluminum and the core is nickel plated
brass. The original valve stem core must be rein-
stalled and not substituted with a valve stem core
made of a different material. This is required to pre-
vent corrosion in the valve stem caused by the dif-
ferent metals.

A/C CONDENSER
DESCRIPTION
The A/C condenser is integral to a cooling module
which includes the radiator, the electric cooling fan,
the fan shroud, air seals and an automatic transmis-
sion oil cooler. The cooling module is located in the
air flow in the front of the engine compartment
behind the radiator grille. The A/C condenser is a
heat exchanger that allows the high-pressure refrig-
erant gas being discharged from the compressor to
give up its heat to the air passing over the condenser
fins. The A/C condenser may be removed from the
cooling module for service without removing the cool-
ing module from the vehicle.
OPERATION
When the refrigerant gas gives up its heat, it con-
denses. When the refrigerant leaves the condenser, it
has become a high-pressure liquid refrigerant. The
volume of air flowing over the condenser fins is crit-
ical to the proper cooling performance of the air con-
ditioning system. Therefore, it is important that
there are no objects placed in front of the radiator
grille openings in the front of the vehicle or foreign
