The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) system interfaces with
the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) through the serial data line. Once the
program mode is accessed through the IPC, each sensor's unique identification
code can be programmed into the receiver's memory. 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
Tool Required
J 41760 J 41760
.
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 RESET button in order to clear any IPC display warning
messages.
- Press and release the OPTIONS button on the DIC to scroll through
the display options until the IPC display is blank.
- Press and hold the DIC RESET button for 3 seconds.
Notice: Refer to Body Control Module (BCM) Programming/RPO Configuration in the Preface section.
- Press the OPTIONS button again until the TIRE TRAINING message
appears.
- Press the RESET button until the IPC LEARN L FRONT TIRE message
appears in order to begin the programming sequence.
- Install the J 41760 J 41760
over the left front
valve stem.
- The horn will sound, indicating the left front TPM sensor is programmed.
- 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.
