The TPM system interfaces with the Instrument Panel Cluster
(IPC) through the serial data line. Once in the program mode, each sensor's
unique identification code can be programmed into the receiver's memory. After
entering the program mode, each sensor must transmit the unique code in the
proper sequence. A magnet must be held close to the sensor in order to force
the sensor to transmit the identification code. The IPC will display a message
as each sensor is programmed, and when to proceed to the next sensor for programming.
The receiver also sends a message to the BCM to sound the horn one time, indicating
that the sensor properly transmitted an identification code. If the programming
sequence is cancelled before any sensor is programmed, or if the vehicle's
battery is disconnected, the receiver will remember all current identification
codes. As soon as the receiver learns the first sensor identification code,
all previously stored codes are erased from the receiver's memory.
Programming TPM Sensors
Important: Make sure the vehicle has been stationary for at least 2 minutes before
attempting to program the TPM sensors.
- Turn the ignition to ON.
- Press the DIC RESET button in order to clear any IPC display warning
messages.
- Press the DIC OPTIONS button until the IPC display goes blank.
- Press and hold the DIC RESET button for 3 seconds.
- Press the DIC OPTIONS button again until the TIRE TRAINING message
appears.
- Press the DIC RESET button until the IPC LEARN L FRONT TIRE message
appears in order to begin the programming sequence.
- Install J 41760
over the left front valve stem.
- The horn will sound, indicating the left front TPM sensor is programmed.
NOTE: If the horn does not sound after 15 seconds, remove then reinstall the
TPM sensor programming tool. This procedure may have to be attempted up to
three times in some instances. When the horn sounds, proceed to program the
next TPM sensor in the following order as directed by the IPC messages:
Programming Cancellation
- The programming mode will be cancelled if any of the following
conditions are met:
• | The program mode is exited through the DIC. |
• | The ignition is turned to OFF. |
• | All four sensors have been programmed. |
• | The TPM system has been in the program mode for longer than 2 minutes
and no sensors have been learned. |
- If the program mode is cancelled with less than four codes stored,
the receiver will only accept the codes programmed up to that point.
