TPMS Sensor Matching Process
Each TPMS sensor has a unique identification code.
Any time you replace one or more of the TPMS sensors
or rotate the vehicle’s tires, the identification 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 side front tire, passenger
side front tire, passenger side rear tire, and driver
side rear tire using a TPMS diagnostic tool. See your
dealer/retailer for service.
The TPMS sensors can also be matched to each
tire/wheel position by increasing or decreasing the tire’s
air pressure. When increasing the tire’s pressure, do
not exceed the maximum inflation pressure indicated on
the tire’s sidewall. To decrease the tire’s air-pressure
use the pointed end of the valve cap, a pencil-style
air pressure gage, or a key.
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 will 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 RKE transmitter’s Lock and
Unlock buttons at the same time, for about
three seconds. The horn will sound twice to
indicate the receiver is ready for the sensor
matching process to begin.
4. Start with the driver side front tire. The driver side
turn signal lamp comes on.
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 five seconds, or
until a horn chirp sounds. The horn chirp, which may
take up to 30 seconds to sound, confirms that the
sensor identification code has been matched to the
tire/wheel position.
