TPMS Reminder Reset - Procedure 13

NOTE: Whenever tire pressures have been adjusted, or when wheels or tires have been replaced or rotated, the TPM system must be driven for 10 minutes in order to learn the tire pressure sensor IDs.
NOTE: There are two methods available for resetting the TPM system - manual and automatic. The manual reset procedure utilizes the left and right multifunction steering wheel button group and the information display in the instrument cluster. The automatic reset procedure will implement after the vehicle has been driven for 10 minutes. The automatic restart method may or may not apply to Canadian only models.
NOTE: After wheel rotation or sensor replacement, the vehicle must be parked for 20 minutes before attempting to restart the TPM system.

If the multifunction display shows a tire pressure warning message, immediately check air pressure of all tires and adjust to the specified pressure. Drive vehicle for 10 minutes to ensure malfunction has been corrected.

Manual TPMS Restart Procedure: 

  1. Using the Tire and Loading Information placard on the driver's door B-pillar or the supplemental tire inflation pressure information on the inside of the fuel filler flap, make sure the tire inflation pressure of all four tires is correct.
  2. Switch on the ignition.
  3. Press LEFT or RIGHT ARROW button on the multifunction steering wheel to select the SERVICE menu.
    NOTE: On some models, start with the HOME key (house icon) to call up the list of menus.
  4. Press UP or DOWN ARROW button on the multifunction steering wheel to select TIRE PRESSURE.
  5. Press OK button. The current inflation pressure for each tire appears in the multifunction display or the following message appears in the multifunction display: TIRE PRESSURES WILL BE DISPLAYED AFTER DRIVING A FEW MINUTES.
  6. Press down arrow button. The following message appears in the multifunction display: USE CURRENT PRESSURES AS NEW REFERENCE VALUES PRESS 'OK' TO CONFIRM.
  7. Press OK button. The following message appears in the multifunction display: TIRE PRESS. MONITOR RESTARTED.

After driving a few minutes the system verifies that the current tire inflation pressures are within the system's specified range. Afterward the current tire inflation pressures are accepted as reference values and then monitored.

NOTE: When the wheel positions have been changed, the inflation pressure of a tire may be displayed for the wrong position temporarily. After driving for a few minutes, the inflation pressure will be shown for the correct position.
