Ensure that no other learn procedure is being performed simultaneously or that tire pressures are not being adjusted on other TPMS equipped vehicle within close proximity. Stray signals from other TPMS equipped vehicles just driving by can be inadvertently learned. If any random horn chirps are heard from the vehicle while performing the learn procedure, most likely a stray sensor has been learned and the procedure will need to be cancelled and repeated.
- On models equipped with a standard ignition switch, place the switch in the RUN position.
- On models equipped with keyless ign...
