- Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
- Make sure all four wheels are TPMS wheels with mounted tire pressure sensors.
Are TPMS type wheels with a tire pressure sensor mounted on the vehicle?

DTC Tire Pressure Sensor Number 51 No. 1 53 No. 2 55 No. 3 57 No. 4 - Do the tire pressure sensor location procedure to determine the affected tire location and relate it to the tire pressure sensor number, (see TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR LOCATION
)
Did each tire pressure sensor respond to the TPMS tool?
YES -Go to step 7.
NO -Check for an aftermarket electrical device interfering with the RF signals from the sensors. If there are no electrical devices causing interference, replace the appropriate tire pressure sensor (see TPMS CONTROL UNIT REPLACEMENT ).
- Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), and wait 5 minutes or more.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
- Clear the DTC with the HDS.
