Each sensor has a minimum of two minutes
to learn, shown by a timer. After a sensor is
learned, a checkmark appears next to the
tire, the vehicle horn will sound, the
vehicle’s brake lamps will flash, and all
working trailer lamps will flash. It then
moves to the next sensor.
To cancel the process touch Stop.
The recommended tire pressure must be
entered for the trailer tires. This allows the
vehicle to alert when the tire pressure is
high or low.
TTPMS must learn the location of the
installed tire sensors to show correct air
pressure and temperature for each tire. To
set up, use one of the following options or
see a tire or trailer dealer for service. The
learning process must be repeated when the
trailer tires are rotated or replaced. See
“Editing a Trailer Profile”later in this section
for tire pressure sensor relearn information.
Tool Method: A TTPMS activation tool can
be purchased separately to learn the sensor
locations.
Manual Method: Without the tool, the air
pressure can be increased or decreased in
each tire for 10 seconds. Do not exceed the
maximum inflation pressure found on the tire sidewalls. Make sure to re-adjust tire
pressure to the recommended level when
the process is complete.
Sensor Learning Steps
To complete the sensor-to-vehicle learn
process:
1. Touch Start on the Learn Sensors screen. The horn chirps twice and the Learning
Active screen appears on the
infotainment display.
2. Start with the driver side front trailer tire.
3. Activate the tool near the valve stem or adjust the air pressure of this tire until
the horn chirps and all working vehicle
and trailer lights flash.
The process stops without saving the
sensor locations if this step takes more
than two minutes.
4. Move to the next tire and repeat Step 3 for each sensor. The horn chirps twice
when all sensors are completed.
5. Return to the vehicle to complete the setup.Maintenance Reminders

is still connected. The trailer lights may
periodically flash as a result of this trailer
connection detection. These flashes may be
more visible in dark ambient light
environments. The flashing or flickering
lights are a normal condition and the
Trailering App System has built-in
protections to prevent the battery from
draining. When Theft Alert is also enabled
the frequency and pattern of this flashing
will change.

If any of the trailer connections are lost, a
message about the connection issue will
appear on the Driver Information Center
(DIC). The infotainment display will also
