TPMS Reminder Reset - Procedure 03: Notes
This vehicle is equipped with an indirect TPMS that doesn't use tire pressure sensors mounted inside the tires. It uses the existing VSA wheel speed sensors to monitor and compare tire characteristics while driving.
TPMS calibration is required after performing any of the following actions:
- Adjusting tire pressures
- Rotating the tires
- Replacing the tires
- Updating/replacing the VSA modulator-control unit
Calibration begins when TPMS switch is pressed or Calibration is selected through the Multi-information display (MID). The process finishes automatically as the customer drives the vehicle. This takes about 30 minutes of cumulative driving at 30 to 60 mph.
