TPMS RESET INDEX

Memorizing a Sensor ID Automatically

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.

Memorizing a Sensor ID with the HDS

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

The HDS can memorize the ID of a new tire pressure sensor or a previously memorized ID.

1. With the ignition switch OFF, connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) located under the left side of the dashboard.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), and memorize the ID of the tire pressure sensor by following the screen prompts on the HDS. NOTE: See the HDS Help menu for specific instructions. 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.an indirect TPMS that doesnt use tire pressure sensors mounted inside the tires. It uses the existing VSA wheel speed sensors to monitor and compare tire characteristics while driving.
