TPMS Calibration: Procedure

NOTE: 

• Make sure the tire pressure is properly adjusted to the specified tire pressure listed on the doorjamb label before doing the TPMS calibration.
• The calibration begins when the calibration is selected through the Multi-information display. The calibration is completed after driving in an ideal driving condition (28 to 65 mph (45 to 105 km/h), driving steadily without much acceleration or deceleration) for about 18 minutes. Full functionality of the system cannot be performed properly if the calibration is not completed.
• Do the TPMS calibration after doing the following items.
• • Adjust the tire pressure.
  • Rotating the tires.
  • Replacing the tire(s).
  • Updating the VSA modulator-control unit.
  • Replacing the VSA modulator-control unit.

• Calibration check method.

  Check if the calibration is completed by doing the following items.

• • Stop the vehicle and shift into P or N position/mode.
  • Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
  • Turn the vehicle to the ON mode and wait to see the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator come on for 2 seconds and then off.
  • Do not drive the vehicle and wait for 45 seconds as is.
  • If the calibration is completed, the indicator does not come on. If the calibration is not yet completed, then the indicator comes on for 2 seconds and then goes off.

The calibration check process gets interrupted if the vehicle moves. Do the troubleshooting if the indicator does not go off after 2 seconds, keeps blinking or stays on when the vehicle is in the ON mode.
