You have two minutes to match
each tire and wheel position.
If it takes longer than two minutes to
match any tire and wheel position,
the matching process stops and you
need to start over.

The TPMS matching process is
outlined below:

1. Set the parking brake.

2. Turn the ignition switch to

ON/RUN with the engine off.

3. Press and hold the Remote

Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter’s
LOCK and UNLOCK buttons,
at the same time, for about
five seconds to start the TPMS
learn mode. The horn sounds
twice indicating the TPMS
receiver is ready and in
learn mode.

4. Start with the driver side front

tire. The driver side front turn
signal also comes on to indicate
that corner’s sensor is ready
to be learned.

5. Remove the valve cap from the

tire’s valve stem. Activate the
TPMS sensor by increasing
or decreasing the tire’s air
pressure for about eight seconds.
The horn chirp, can take up to
30 seconds to sound. It
chirps one time and then all the
turn signals flash one time to
confirm the sensor identification
code has been matched to
the tire/wheel position.

6. The passenger side front turn

signal comes on to indicate
that corner sensor is ready to be
learned. Proceed to the
passenger side front tire and
repeat the procedure in Step 5.

7. The passenger side rear

turn signal comes on to indicate
that corner sensor is ready to
be learned. Proceed to the
passenger side rear tire and
repeat the procedure in Step 5.

8. The driver side rear turn signal

comes on to indicate that
corner sensor is ready to be

learned. Proceed to the driver
side rear tire, and repeat
the procedure in Step 5.

9. After hearing the single horn

chirp for the driver side rear
tire, two additional horn chirps
sound to indicate the tire learning
process is done. Turn the
ignition switch to LOCK/OFF.

If no tires are learned after
entering the TPMS learn mode,
or if communication with the
receiver stops, or if the time limit
has expired, turn the ignition
switch to LOCK/OFF and
start over beginning with Step 2.

10. Set all four tires to the

recommended air pressure level
as indicated on the Tire and
Loading Information label.

11. Put the valve caps back on the

valve stems.
