SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
The customer may notice a message “Service Tire Pressure System” displayed on the
cluster. On further inspection, the technician may find one or more of the following
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs):
NOTE: The cluster will always display the low tire indicator if the tire pressure is
under specification, or if there is a DTC set in the TPM system. If a DTC is set,
the indicator will flash for 75 seconds, and then stay on solid when the
vehicle is started.

REPAIR PROCEDURE:
1. Replace all of the TPM sensors.
2. Raise and support the vehicle, follow the procedure in TechConnect, 04 - Vehicle
Quick Reference / Hoisting/Standard Procedure.
3. Remove all of the tires from the vehicle.
4. Deflate the tires completely before breaking loose the top bead ONLY.
NOTE: Mark the tire and wheel assembly with tire chalk to insure the tire and wheel
are reassembled in the correct orientation.
5. When breaking the tire bead loose from the wheel/rim, avoid using the Bead Breaker
in the area of the sensor.
6. Pry down on the tire sidewall to gain access to the tire pressure sensor.
7. Does the sensor have a rubber valve stem?
a. Yes >>> Proceed to Step #8.
b. No >>> Proceed to Step #19.
8. Remove the sensor to valve retainer screw and remove the sensor from the rim.

9. Remove the rubber valve from the rim.
10. Clean valve stem mounting surface and install the new rubber valve stem on the rim.
11. Attach a new sensor to the valve stem using a new retainer screw and tighten to 1.4
N·m (12 in. Lbs.) (Fig. 1).
12. Clean tire bead and rim. Lube tire bead with proper tire soap/lube.
CAUTION: Tire pressure sensor valve stem caps and cores are specially designed
for the sensors. Due to risk of corrosion, do not use a standard valve
stem cap or core in a tire pressure sensor in place of the original
equipment style sensor cap and core.
13. To help avoid damaging the sensor, pull tire bead up and away from the sensor before
inflating.
14. Inflate tires and adjust air pressure to that listed on the Tire Inflation Pressure Label
(Placard) provided with vehicle (usually applied to driver's side B-pillar).
15. Install tire and wheel assembly on the vehicle.
16. Tighten lug nut M14 to (2500, 3500) 203 N·m (150 Ft, Lbs.) or lug nut M14 with flat
washer to (3500) 196 N·m (145 Ft. Lbs.).
17. Remove the support and lower the vehicle.
18. Program the new sensor ID and location, proceed to Step #28.
19. Remove retaining nut from metal valve stem and remove valve/sensor from the rim.

20. Clean valve stem mounting surface and install new sensor with metal valve stem onto
the rim.
21. Install and tighten new valve stem retainer, tighten to 12 N·m (106 in. lbs.) (Fig. 2).
22. Clean tire bead and rim. Lube tire bead with proper tire soap/lube.
CAUTION: Tire pressure sensor valve stem caps and cores are specially designed
for the sensors. Due to risk of corrosion, do not use a standard valve
stem cap or core in a tire pressure sensor in place of the original
equipment style sensor cap and core.
23. To help avoid damaging the sensor, pull tire bead up and away from the sensor before
inflating.
24. Inflate tires and adjust air pressure to that listed on Tire Inflation Pressure Label
(Placard) provided with vehicle (usually applied to driver's side B-pillar).
25. Install tire and wheel assembly on the vehicle.
26. Tighten lug nut M14 to (2500, 3500) 203 N·m (150 Ft, Lbs.) or lug nut M14 with flat
washer to (3500) 196 N·m (145 Ft. Lbs.).
27. Remove the support and lower the vehicle.
NOTE: The RKE-TPM Analysis Tool CH9936 MUST BE UPDATED to the most recent
version prior to use. Versions earlier than 15.04 could either give a no
response to the Read command OR display incorrect TPM Sensor IDs that
can lead to false DTCs.
28. Using the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool, select TPM Functions, then enter the Model Year
and the Body Style of the vehicle, and for the Trigger Selection select LEARN ID.

NOTE: If a TPM-RKE Tool is not available, let the vehicle sit stationary for more then
20 minutes, and then drive the vehicle for a minimum of 10 minutes while
maintaining a continuous speed above 24 km/h (15 mph).
29. Scan each TPM sensor at each road wheel, and record each TPM sensor ID and the
location of that sensor.
30. In wiTech go to the TPM section, select Misc Function, then Program Tire sensor ID.
31. Enter each sensor ID in its proper location.
32. Clear any DTCs that may have been set in any module due to this repair procedure.
