Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) - Reset (Calibrate)


CHECK TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM RESET PROCEDURE
Any time you adjust a tire's pressure or have one or more tires repaired or replaced, you'll need to reset (calibrate) the check tire pressure system. You'll also need to reset the system whenever you rotate the tires, buy new tires and install or remove the compact spare.
Don't reset the check tire pressure system without first correcting the cause of the problem and checking and adjusting the pressure in all four tires. If you reset the system when the tire pressures are incorrect, the check tire pressure system will not work properly and may not alert you when a tire is low or high.

TO RESET (CALIBRATE) THE SYSTEM WITH A DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER (DIC):
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2. Using the MODE and SELECT buttons, change the DIC to display TIRE PRESSURE.
3. Press and hold the RESET button for about five seconds.
- The display should change to read TIRE PRESSURE RESET. If TIRE PRESSURE RESET does not appear on the display after about five seconds, see your dealer for service.
4. When you release the button after seeing the TIRE PRESSURE RESET message, the display will change to read TIRE PRESSURE NORMAL.

TO RESET (CALIBRATE) THE SYSTEM WITH A SYSTEMS MONITOR:
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2. Press and hold the TIRE PRESS RESET button for about five seconds.
- The TIRE PRESS light on the systems monitor should begin to flash. If the TIRE PRESS light does not begin to flash after about five seconds, see your dealer for service.
3. Release the TIRE PRESS RESET button and the system should reset. The TIRE PRESS light will go out.
- The system completes the calibration process during driving. Calibration time can take 45 to 90 minutes, depending on your driving habits. After the system has been calibrated, the system will alert the driver that a tire is low, up to a maximum speed of 65 mph (105 km/h).
