Special Procedures

Adapting TPMS Sensors to System

To adapt new sensors, for example after changing wheels, first ensure that pressures are adequate. Then recode the TPMS. It's probably OK just to put the same coding value that's already there back in, but if in doubt, raise or lower the specified pressures a bit, then restore them to stock. After the module has been recoded, the car must be driven for a minimum of 10 minutes at a speed over 40 km/h (25 mph). Avoid stop-and-go driving.
