and store each Sensor ID in the correct location (lef-front, lef-rear, right-front and right-rear). Connect the TPM-RKE Analyzer tool to the scan tool. Ten follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for "Program Tire Pressure Sensor ID w/ TPM Tool" under "MISC" for the "WCM/WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE." Demounting/mounting procedures 1. Remove tire and wheel assembly from vehicle. CAUTION: Te tire should be demounted from the wheel using the tire changer manufacturer's instructions. NOTE: If a tire pressure sensor has been replaced, the tire pressure sensors must be retrained. See reset procedures. 2. Demount tire from wheel following tire changer manufacturer's instructions while paying special atention to the following to avoid damaging the pressure sensor: Figure 3: Demounting tire with tool. If the warning light is fashing on/of for 60 seconds, there is a problem in the TPMS. See appropriate manufacturer service information. Reset procedures NOTE: If a tire pressure sensor has been replaced, the TPMS needs to relearn tire pressure sensor IDs. If the warning light is lit continuously due to low pressure in one or more tires, adjust tire infation to specifcation. Te light will remain on until tire pressure is properly set. Afer adjusting air pressure in a tire, allow approximately two minutes for the message or indicator lamp to go out. Using a radio frequency (RF) signal, each sensor transmits tire pressure data approximately once every minute. Each sensor's transmiter broadcast is uniquely coded so that the WCM can monitor the state of each of the sensors on the four rotating road wheels. Te WCM automatically learns and stores the sensor's ID while driving afer a sensor has been replaced. Tere is no formal retraining procedure necessary. Drive vehicle for a minimum of 10 minutes while maintaining a continuous speed above 15 mph. During this time, the system will learn the new sensor ID code and will clear any DTCs automatically. If a sensor cannot be trained, see appropriate manufacturer service information. Te sensor IDs can also be programmed using the TPMRKE Analyzer tool. Scan each TPM sensor at each road wheel, Figure 4: Removing and installing tire pressure sensor. www.moderntiredealer.com • When breaking the tire bead loose from the wheel rim, avoid using the bead breaker in the area of the sensor. Tat includes both front and rear beads of the tire. See Figure 3. • When preparing to demount the tire from the wheel, carefully insert the mounting/demounting tool at the valve stem +/-10°, and then proceed to demount the tire from the wheel. Use this process on both the upper and lower tire beads. NOTE: Wheels and tires are match-mounted at the factory. Before demounting a tire from its wheel, a reference mark should be placed on the tire at the valve stem location, to ensure that it is remounted in the original position on the wheel. Fo r matc h mounting procedures, refer to appropriate manufacturer service information. 3. Using a thin-walled socket, remove the special nut retaining the sensor to the wheel. While removing the nut, hold pressure against the rear of the metal valve stem to keep the valve stem from pushing rearward, which could damage the antenna strap. See Figure 2. 4. Remove the sensor from the wheel. See Figure 4. Quik-Link: 800-687-1557 ext. 13133 71
