I can't seem to get the tpms programming to come up on the DIC on my 99. Seems simple enough but I get to the point where you press options after holding the reset for 3 seconds and it just goes thru all the options again. The tire training message never appears. There may be no sensors in the wheels but I thought this would be a good way to check instead of breaking one down. Do the sensors at least have to be present to get into the programming mode? I found this on a search, could this be the problem and how is it enabled? Thanks, B/G
"Important: If the DIC does not display the TIRE TRAINING message, ensure the TPM option is enabled in the RCDLR. Refer to Scan Tool Output Controls .
I don't think you can turn off the tire sensors prior to 2000.
I had the same problem on my 98, just keep cycling through until it shows up.
I probably had to do it 10 times before I got it right, almost like the computer sends it off to a corner because it is rarely used. LOL
