Sensor Registration
NOTE:
Suzuki calls this procedure "TPS (Tire Pressure Sensor) ID Registration".
TPS is installed on each tire to check tire air pressure. This system only turns on warning lamp regardless of TPS position even if air pressure of one tire becomes less than warning pressure. So, IDs registration is not necessary in case of rotation or replacement of tires. However, IDs registration is necessary when shipping vehicles, TPS is replaced due to Sensor break/failure or Low battery, or Receiver is replaced.
- Delta Pressure : While the tire is stationary and when the air pressure changes rapidly by at least 1.2 psi, the sensor will transmit a Learn Mode-Pressure Triggered message. Inflating or deflating the tire until a horn chirp is heard will ensure that the learn happened.
- SPX TPMS tool (SPX p/n J-46079) : Holding the tool near the tire stem will force the sensor to transmit a Learn Mode-LF Triggered message.
- Generic Activation Tool : Several manufacturers produce a Low Frequency (125 KHz) tool that can activate the sensors in the same way as the SPX tool.
Sensor Learn Activation - There are three ways to trigger the tire sensor Learn mode:
- Turn the ignition switch to ON, with engine OFF and apply the parking brake.
- Put receiver into LF tool by Scan tool. Initiate the procedure by following the menu selections. If successful, should double horn chirp sound and flashing low tire indicator (MIL) will indicate Learn Mode has begun.
- Within 2 minutes, go to the LEFT FRONT tire. Trigger the tire sensor to enter Learn mode. If successful, a horn chirp is heard.
- Repeat step 3 for each remaining tire, in order: Right front, right rear, left rear.
- Registration is successful if a double horn chirp is heard and the low tire indicator (MIL) turns off.
NOTE:
If one of the tire sensors does not program within the 2 minute interval, the system will automatically exit programming mode and steps 2 through 4 must be repeated.
