Resetting the PAX System Warning

This article has been updated per Service News, October 2006, S/M Fix: Clearing the PAX System Warning Message; '05-06 RL

Resetting the PAX System Warning

When a tire goes flat or is very low on pressure on a '05-06 RL equipped with Michelin PAX System tires, the low tire pressure indicator comes on and you see "PAX SYSTEM WARNING, RUN FLAT DRIVING, MAX 50MPH" message on the MID. After the tire is repaired or replaced, you must clear the message and reset the PAX mileage counter, no matter how far the vehicle was driven in the run flat mode.

1. Put the gauge control module into the self-diagnostic mode:

- Turn the headlight switch to ON.
- Press and hold the SELECT/RESET button on the steering wheel.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
- Within 5 seconds, turn the headlights to AUTO, then to ON, and then to AUTO again.
- Within 5 seconds, release the SELECT/RESET switch, then push and release the switch three more times.

2. Once the gauge control module is in the self-diagnostic mode, press and hold the INFO button on the steering wheel for 5 seconds to get to the CUSTOMIZE MENU on the MID.

3. With the INFO button, scroll through to the PAX RESET screen, then press the SEL/RESET button on the steering wheel.

4. With the INFO button, scroll through to the appropriate wheel, then press the SEL/RESET button on the steering wheel to reset the system warning and reset the PAX mileage counter. The screen should display PAX RESET "COMPLETED". Repeat this step for each wheel that needs to be reset.

5. Use the INFO button to scroll through to EXIT, then press the SEL/RESET button.

6. Turn the ignition switch Lock (0) to exit the self-diagnostic mode.
