SCHEDULED SERVICE DUE LIGHT

Note. To determine the appropriate reset procedure, refer to SCHEDULED SERVICE DUE LIGHT RESET INDEX . Only the vehicles listed in this index have a SCHEDULED SERVICE DUE light.

SCHEDULED SERVICE DUE LIGHT RESET INDEX

SCHEDULED SERVICE DUE LIGHT - PROCEDURE 1

1. Every 7500 miles, a SCHEDULED SERVICE DUE warning light will illuminate as a reminder to change oil and oil filter. After servicing is completed, reset warning light.
2. To reset warning light, locate SERVICE RESET button. (Scheme 3) With ignition switch in the ON position, press SERVICE RESET button for 3 seconds. To verify reset, turn ignition switch off and on. Light should not come on.

Scheme 3

TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (TPMS)

Note. To determine the appropriate reset procedure, refer to TPMS RESET PROCEDURE INDEX . Only the vehicles listed in this index are equipped with tire pressure monitor system.

TPMS RESET PROCEDURE INDEX

Tire Pressure Monitor System

Note. All four sensor IDs must be memorized to the TPMS control unit whenever you do any of these actions: Replace the TPMS control unit. Replace the Keyless Access (Some newer models) Update the TPMS control unit (Some newer models) Replace the tire pressure sensor. Substitute a known-good wheel with tire pressure sensor.

Note. When replacing the TPMS control unit, use the HDS to memorize IDs.

Note. On models equipped with PAX tire systems, if a tire is repaired or replaced, the warning indicator (and the mileage counter that supports it) must be reset, no matter how far the vehicle was driven in the run flat mode. See appropriate manufacturer service information.

If low tire pressure indicator and multi-information display indicator(s) are lit continuously due to low pressure in one or more tires, adjust tire inflation to proper pressure as indicated on the tire and loading information placard. The light will remain on until tire pressure is properly set. If warning light is still illuminated or the TPMS indicator is lit continuously, there is a problem in the TPM system. Refer to manufacturer service information.

Memorizing Sensors IDs Automatically

Note. To ensure the control unit memorizes the correct ID, the vehicle with the new sensor must be at least 10 ft (3 m) from any other TPMS pressure sensor not installed on that vehicle.

After rotating the tires or replacing a tire pressure sensor, drive the vehicle for at least 40 seconds at a speed of 15 mph (24 km/h) or more, and all the sensor IDs will be memorized automatically.

Note. When replacing the TPMS control unit, use the HDS to memorize IDs. After the IDs are memorized, reduce the pressure in all four tires to less than the appropriate specification, and check to see that the four tire indicators come on.

Note. All four sensor IDs must be memorized to the TPMS control unit whenever you do any of these actions: Replace the TPMS control unit. Replace the tire pressure sensor. Substitute a known-good wheel with tire pressure sensor.

Note. A TPMS sensor activation tool is necessary to do this procedure. Let the vehicle sit for at least 5 minutes to allow the tire pressure sensors to switch to sleep mode. To ensure the TPMS control unit memorizes the correct sensor ID, the vehicle with the new tire pressure sensor must be at least 10 ft (3 m) away from other vehicles that have sensors. When doing a tire rotation, memorizing the sensors is not needed.
