ATEQ TPMS Reset Procedure (Direct TPM System)

NOTE: This procedure is for models with a Direct TPM System.

NOTE: If vehicle is stationary overnight when outside temperature is significantly lower than daytime temperature, tire pressure may decrease about 3 psi (21 kPa) for a drop of 30°F (17°C) in ambient temperature. This pressure decrease may activate TPM warning system.

NOTE: Since tire pressure information is updated once every minute, it may take up to a minute for warning light to turn off after tire pressure has been adjusted. If vehicle has been parked for over 15 minutes, system information will be updated once an hour. In this case, it may take up to an hour for warning light to turn off after tire pressure has been adjusted.

NOTE: When the tire pressure warning light comes on solid, check the air pressure of all tires and adjust to the specified pressure listed on tire label (located on the driver's door or "B" pillar). Drive the vehicle at 20 mph (32 km/h) for at least 2 minutes. Make sure the warning light goes off. If the warning light stays on, there is a malfunction in the TPMS. See appropriate manufacturer service information.

NOTE: When the tire pressure warning light flashes for 20-30 seconds either at start-up or while driving, check to see if a spare tire is being used. Repair as necessary. Make sure the warning light goes off. If the tires are adjusted to the appropriate pressure, spare tire is not in use, and warning light continues to flash, there is a malfunction in the TPMS. See appropriate manufacturer service information.

WARNING: In the following procedure, a magnet is used. Death or serious injury can occur if magnetically sensitive devices are exposed to the relearn magnet. Magnets can affect pacemakers.

NOTE: The tire pressure sensor training procedure must be done on a single vehicle, in an area without radio frequency (RF) noise. RF noise is generated by electrical motor and appliance operation, cellular telephones and remote transmitters, power inverters and portable entertainment equipment.

Turn ignition switch to OFF position.
Turn ignition switch from OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in RUN position. Do not wait more than one minute between each key cycle.
Press and release the brake pedal.
Turn ignition switch to OFF position.
Turn ignition switch from OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in RUN position. Do not wait more than one minute between each key cycle. The horn will sound once and the TPMS indicator will flash if train mode has been entered successfully (if equipped, the message center displays "TRAIN LF TIRE").
Place the TPM Relearn Magnet on the valve stem of the left front tire pressure sensor. The horn will sound briefly to indicate that the tire pressure sensor has been recognized by the TPMS module.
Within 2 minutes after the horn sounds, place the magnet on the valve stem of the right front tire pressure sensor. Repeat procedure for right rear and left rear tires.
NOTE: If the VSM (TPMS module is integral to VSM) does not recognize any one of the 4 tire pressure sensors during the tire training procedure, the horn will sound twice and the message center (if equipped) will display "TIRE NOT TRAINED REPEAT". If this occurs, procedure must be repeated.
When the tire training procedure is complete, the horn will sound once and the message center (if equipped) will display "TIRE TRAINING MODE COMPLETE".
