Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) and
Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS)
software with appropriate hardware, or
equivalent scan tool
NOTE: If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, the sensors will
go into a "sleep mode" to conserve battery power. It will be necessary to wake them up
so they will transmit the latest tire pressure information to the Smart Junction Box (SJB).
For additional information, refer to TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
SENSOR ACTIVATION .
NOTE: The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Training procedure must be
done on a single vehicle, in an area without radio frequency noise and at least 1 m (3 ft)
away from other vehicles equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
Radio frequency noise is generated by electrical motors and appliance operation,
cellular telephones, remote transmitters, power inverters and portable entertainment
equipment.
NOTE: If a sensor does not respond to the Tire Pressure Monitor Activation Tool,
move the vehicle to rotate the wheels at least one-fourth of a turn and attempt to
activate the same sensor again. If the sensor still does not respond, attempt to activate
the same sensor again using the customer activation tool (if available). If the sensor still
fails to train, attempt to train the sensor with the vehicle doors open.
