I recently installed new wheels and tires with TPMS sensors. They would not communicate with my system, so the error message "Service Tire Monitor" would flash on the dash. There are a couple of options. You can take the vehicle to a dealership/tire shop and pay for them to use their TPMS diagnostic tool to do the relearn/matching or you can follow the instructions below and DIY.
Any time you replace one or more of the TPMS sensors or rotate the vehicle's tires, the identiï¬cation codes will need to be matched to the new tire/wheel position. The sensors are matched to the tire/wheel positions in the following order: driver's side front tire, passenger's side front tire, passenger's side rear tire, and driver's side rear tire. Could not find a thread on this process, but figured it could benefit other owners with TPMS sensors.
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition switch to RUN with the engine off.
3. Turn the headlamp control from off to parking lamps 4 times within 3 seconds. A double horn chirp will sound and the TPMS low tire warning light will begin to flash. The double horn chirp and flashing TPMS warning light indicate that the TPMS matching process has started. The TPMS warning light should continue flashing throughout the matching procedure.
4. Start with the driver's side front tire. Activate the TPMS sensor by increasing or decreasing the tire's air pressure for 10 seconds, then stop and listen for a single horn chirp. The single horn chirp should sound within 15 seconds, conï¬rming that the sensor identiï¬cation code has been matched to this tire and wheel position. If you do not hear the conï¬rming single horn chirp, you will need to start over with step number one.
5. Proceed to the passenger's side front tire and repeat the procedure in Step 4.
6. Proceed to the passenger's side rear tire and repeat the procedure in Step 4.
7. Proceed to the driver's side rear tire and repeat the procedure in Step 4.
8. After hearing the conï¬rming horn chirp for the driver's side rear tire, check to see if the TPMS warning light is still flashing. If yes, turn the ignition switch to LOCK to exit the sensor matching process. If the TPMS warning light is not flashing, the 5 minute time limit has passed and you will need to start the process over beginning with Step 1.
9. Set all four tires to their normal air pressure.
**You will have 2 minutes to match the ï¬rst tire/wheel position, and 5 minutes overall to match all four tire/wheel positions. If it takes longer than 2 minutes, to match the ï¬rst tire and wheel, or more than 5 minutes to match all 4 tire and wheel positions the matching process stops and you will need to start over**
