Default Weird Electrical Problem - TPMS

Battery died, I replaced it and afterward the TPMS reads all blanks for all four wheels. Also, the windshield washer does not work.

Anybody had a similar issue? If so, what was fix?

Thanks!!

I have driven the car for over a week. Still no readings.

I checked fuse #10 and it is OK.

Any other ideas? I'm scratchin' my head!

Thanks.

Retrain your sensors.

1. Turn the ignition to ON.
2. Press the RESET button in order to clear any IPC display warning messages.
3. Press and release the OPTIONS button on the DIC to scroll through the display options until the IPC display is blank.
4. Press and hold the DIC RESET button for 3 seconds.
5. Press the OPTIONS button again until the TIRE TRAINING message appears.
6. Press the RESET button until the IPC LEARN L FRONT TIRE message appears in order to begin the programming sequence.
7. Install the J 41760 (Magnet) over the left front valve stem.
8. The horn will sound, indicating the left front TPM sensor is programmed.

Important

If the horn does not sound after 15 seconds, remove then reinstall the TPM sensor programming tool. This procedure may have to be attempted up to three times in some instances.
9. When the horn sounds, proceed to program the next TPM sensor in the following order as directed by the IPC messages:

* LEARN R FRONT TIRE
* LEARN R REAR TIRE
* LEARN L REAR TIRE

Default TPMS reprogramming worked!

Now I just need to get the windshield washer working. Hopefully it is not the switch.

If you don't have the magnet tool, you can use an old speaker magnet if you have one laying around. Worked for me.

I have been procrastinating on the windshield washer issue because I thought it may have been the switch that was bad.

Today I removed the pump and proved it worked, then cleaned the #10 fuse contacts. Wonders never cease! It now works.

Thanks for the help.
