Initializing Tire Pressure Monitor System
NOTE:
Be sure to adjust the tire pressure to specification before initialization.
- Park the vehicle in a safe place with the parking brake applied. Check and adjust the tire pressure to specification (see placard on driver's door pillar).
- With vehicle stopped, turn ignition switch to ON position.
- Press and hold the tire pressure warning reset switch until the tire pressure warning light blinks 3 times at one-second intervals. See Fig 1.NOTE: If reset switch is pushed without adjusting the tire inflation pressure to the specified level, the low tire pressure warning may not turn on even if the tire inflation is low, or it may turn on when the tire inflation pressure is actually normal. If reset switch is pushed while driving, initialization is not performed.NOTE: If the tire pressure warning light does not blink 3 times, perform the initialization again. If warning light still does not blink as specified, refer to appropriate manufacturer service information.
- Initialization is completed after vehicle is driven above 19 mph (30 km/h) or for more than one hour under the following conditions:
- The vehicle speed is between 31-62 mph (50-100 km/h).
- The roads are dry, smooth and straight.
- The number of passengers is 1 or 2 (including driver).
NOTE: If tire pressure warning light blinks twice every second while driving, perform the initialization again. - To verify that the system has been initialized, check the length of time that the warning light is on after turning the ignition switch to the ON position. If the system is initialized, light should stay on for 3 seconds. If light stays on for 4 seconds, perform the initialization again.
NOTE:
The TPMS reset switch is located in the glove compartment.
