I'm putting new wheels and tires on car they will be here this week. Went ahead and bought new TPMS sensors. Everything is coming mounted and balanced so my question is what do I need to do if anything to get system to recognize new sensors.

 

Here you go:

To train the sensors, you need a strong (preferably u-shaped or circular) magnet. Some people have gotten them from Radio Shack, Home Depot, etc. An old speaker magnet will often work. These can be obtained from car stereo installation places from the factory speakers they replace.

1. Turn the key to ON (don’t start the car).
2. Press the DIC RESET button to clear any warning messages, if they are present.
3. Press the OPTIONS button and cycle through the menu until the display goes blank.
4. Press and hold the RESET button until FOB TRAINING appears on the display.
5. Press the OPTIONS button once and the TIRE TRAINING message should appear.
6. Press the RESET button once, and the LEARN LEFT FRONT TIRE message appears.
7. Hold a magnet over the valve stem on the left front wheel. You may have to move it around the valve step to hit the right spot.
8. When the horn beeps (about five seconds later), programming is complete for that wheel.
9. Program the other three wheel sensors as directed by the DIC message display. The sequence is as follows: Left front, right front, right rear, left rear.

You only have about 30 seconds, I believe, to train each tire. If the sensor isn’t reset in that time, the training program shuts back down.

 

10-4. Thank you sir.

 

I used and old speaker and had a helper.. POC..

 

I think some aftermarket sensors wont work that way and you may have to find a tire place with a computer to do it. Thats what I did but most places dont have a clue and tell you to go to the dealer. I got lucky and found someone that knew what they were doing.

 

If the magnet does not work then follow the same process and when you are supposed to use the magnet just start letting air out of the tire until the horn beeps...
