| Activation Tool, Tire Pressure Monitor 204-363 |
NOTE:
If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, the sensors will go into a "sleep mode" to conserve battery power. It will be necessary to wake them up so they will transmit the latest tire pressure information to the smart junction box (SJB).
