TPM Module Programming

TPM MODULE PROGRAMMING

If the TPM module has been replaced, the TPM Module must be reprogrammed in order to identify the Tire Pressure Sensors/Transmitters. Proper identification of each of the Tire Pressure Sensors/Transmitters is necessary in order to identify which wheel is transmitting a signal to the TPM module.

NOTE: The TPM Module Programming procedure must use the DRB Ill� in conjunction with the Miller Tool 8821 Re-Learn Magnet.

NOTE: When reprogramming the TPM module, the magnet should be moved from wheel to wheel in a clockwise direction starting at the Left Front Wheel. There is a maximum time limit of 60 seconds for each tire. If the DRB III cannot read the sensor within the 60 seconds, the DRB III determines the time-out has been reached, and the module reprogramming will be discontinued. If the module reprogramming is not completed, the TPM module will then set the "Training Failed" DTC.

1. Connect a DRB III scan tool to the vehicle's diagnostic connector beneath the Instrument Panel near the steering column.
2. Access the Chassis System using the DRB
3. Once in the Chassis System, select "Miscellaneous Functions".
4. The following System Test menu selections will appear:
^ Train All Mode
^ Stop Train Mode
5. Select "Train All Mode" from the System Test menu selection.
6. Using the DRB III, select "Yes" to continue.
7. Place the Special Tool 8821 Re-Learn Magnet, over the valve stem of the Left Front Wheel.
8. Each Tire Pressure Sensor/Transmitter will automatically sense the presence of the magnet and begin transmitting. When the pressure sensor/transmitter on each wheel has been programmed, the DRB III will automatically BEEP and direct you to the next wheel to be programmed. Remove the magnet and move to each of the remaining wheels as directed by the DRB
9. Remove the magnet from the Left Rear Wheel.
10. Once "Training Completed" is displayed, exit the program function screen and use the following to verify the TPM functionality:
^ Verify the TPM module programming is complete by viewing the Input/Output Display selection of the DRB III and confirming the Tire Pressure Sensors are trained.
^ Verify the TPM module programming is complete by viewing the Sensor Display selection of the DRB III and confirm the Tire Pressure Sensor pressure readings are accurate.
