Service Procedure

NOTE:
wiTECH must be used to perform this recall. This procedure must be performed with software release level 12.02 or higher. If the programming for the TPM System is aborted or interrupted, repeat the procedure.

Program the TPM System:

1. Open the hood. Install a battery charger and verify that the charging rate provides 13.0 to 13.5 volts. Do not allow the charger to time out during the programming process. Set the battery charger timer (if so equipped) to continuous charge.

NOTE:
Use an accurate stand alone voltmeter. The battery charger voltmeter may not be sufficiently accurate. Voltages outside of the specified range will cause the programming to be unsuccessful. If voltage reading is too high, apply an electrical load by activating the park or headlamps and/or HVAC blower motor to lower the voltage.

2. Connect the wiTECH VCI pod to the vehicle data link connector located under the steering column.

3. Place the ignition in the "RUN" position.

4. Open the wiTECH Diagnostic application.

5. Starting at the "Select Tool" screen, select the row/tool for the wiPOD device you are using.

6. Enter your "User id" and "Password", then select "OK".

7. Select the "Next" tab at the bottom of the screen.

8. From the "Vehicle View" screen, click on the "BCM" icon.

9. Select "Misc Function" from the "BCM View" screen.

10. Select "Update Pressure Thresholds", then click the small green arrow button on the right side of the screen.

11. From the "Update Pressure Thresholds" screen follow the wiTECH screen instructions to update the tire pressure threshold. The "Max Load Inflation Pressure Front Tire" and "Max Load Inflation Pressure Rear" must be updated to 32 PSI in the BCM.

12. Once the tire pressure threshold update procedure is completed, select "Vehicle View" from the "BCM View" screen.

13. From the "All DTC's" tab, select the "Clear Stored DTC's" button.

14. Select "OK" from the pop-up text box.
