ATEQ TPMS Reset Procedure: Notes
NOTE:
Unless otherwise stated, on most tire pressure sensor equipped vehicles, low tire pressure indicator lights and messages can be cleared by inflating tires to the specified pressure and driving at least 25 mph or more for a few minutes. A sensor activation tool (TPMS3) can be used in place of driving.
NOTE:
When a spare tire is mounted, a wheel is replaced or rotated, or tire pressure has been adjusted, TPMS will need to be recalibrated.
CAUTION:
DO NOT recalibrate TPMS until all problems are fixed and tire pressure in all 4 tires has been adjusted. If recalibration is done when tire pressures are incorrect, TPMS will not work properly and may not set an alert when a tire pressure is low or high.
NOTE:
When the tire pressure warning message appears on DIC, immediately check air pressure of all tires and adjust to the specified pressure. If warning message is still displayed, there is a malfunction in the TPMS. See appropriate manufacturer service information.
NOTE:
Under the following conditions, the system may not function properly:
- More than one tire is low.
- Vehicle is moving faster than 65 mph (105 km/h).
- The system is not yet calibrated.
- Tire treadwear is uneven.
- Compact spare tire is installed.
- Tire chains are being used.
- Vehicle is being driven on a rough or frozen road.
- If ABS warning light is on.
NOTE:
There are 2 ways to recalibrate the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) system:
- Using DIC Reset Button (if no scan tool is available)
- Using Scan Tool (if an OBD-II compatible scan tool is available).
