How to Match Tire Sensors?
2 Answers
Tire sensor matching method is as follows: 1. First, connect the diagnostic tool to the CAN-BUSH diagnostic port, and command the BCM to enter the sensor learning state through the diagnostic interface. 2. Select the tire position where the sensor is to be learned. 3. The diagnostic tool enters the learning waiting state. 4. Bring the setter close to the tire valve of the replaced sensor within 50cm, press the button for the tire position of the replaced sensor, and the indicator light for that position will flash (keep the setter within 50cm of the sensor while the indicator light is flashing). 5. When the indicator light stops flashing, check whether the diagnostic tool has received the sensor learning information. If the sensor learning information has been received, confirm the success.
As a regular car owner who drives frequently, I once replaced and matched a tire sensor myself, and it wasn't as difficult as I imagined. The first step is to turn the new car key to the ON position without starting the engine, then press the reset button under the steering wheel for three seconds until the indicator light on the dashboard comes on. Some cars require driving for about 20 minutes to let the system automatically recognize the sensor—once the signal is strong enough, it will connect. In my case, I just drove around the block and it worked without any additional tools. However, remember to position the sensor correctly and don't mix up the front and rear tires, otherwise the tire pressure monitoring won't be accurate. Also, make sure the battery has enough charge, as low power often causes matching failures. Don’t rush during the process; trying a few more times usually does the trick. Properly matched tire sensors can alert you to leaks in time, improving driving safety, so it’s worth spending some time to handle it yourself.
