Does anyone know how <strong>to</strong> invoke the tire sensor relearn program?<br />

Unfortunately, your C6 is not like the C5 in that regard. Relearning on the C6 requires a real <strong>to</strong>ol instead of just a magnet.<br />

Once you have the <strong>to</strong>ol, this is the procedure:<br />

Tire Pressure Sensor Learn<br />

Tools Required<br />

J-46079 Tire Pressure Moni<strong>to</strong>r Diagnostic Tool<br />

TPM Learn Mode <strong>Description</strong><br />

The tire pressure moni<strong>to</strong>r (TPM) system uses the remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR), body control module (BCM), keyless<br />

entry transmitter, 4 radio frequency transmitting pressure sensors, and the serial data circuit <strong>to</strong> perform the TPM learn mode<br />

functions. The sensor learn procedure must be performed after each tire rotation, RCDLR replacement, or tire pressure sensor<br />

replacement.<br />

Once the TPM learn mode has been enabled, each of the sensors unique identification (ID) codes can be learned in<strong>to</strong> the RCDLR's<br />

memory. When the RCDLR receives a sensor's transmission, it sends a serial data message <strong>to</strong> the BCM <strong>to</strong> sound a horn chirp. This<br />

verifies the sensor has transmitted its ID code and the RCDLR has received and learned it. The RCDLR must learn the sensor IDs in<br />

the proper order <strong>to</strong> determine sensor location. The first learned ID is assigned <strong>to</strong> the <strong>left</strong> front location, the second <strong>to</strong> <strong>right</strong> front, the<br />

third <strong>to</strong> <strong>right</strong> rear and the fourth <strong>to</strong> <strong>left</strong> rear.<br />

Sensor Function Using J-46079<br />

Each sensor has an internal low frequency (LF) coil. When the J-46079 used in activate mode it produces an LF transmission that<br />

activates the sensor. The sensor responds <strong>to</strong> an LF activation by transmitting in learn mode. When the RCDLR receives a learn mode<br />

transmission while in TPM learn mode, it will assign that sensor's ID <strong>to</strong> the location on the vehicle relative <strong>to</strong> the order in which it<br />

was learned.<br />

TPM Learn Mode Cancellation<br />

The RCDLR will cancel the TPM learn mode if more than 2 minutes have passed and no sensors have been learned, or if more than 5<br />

minutes have passed for the entire procedure. If the learn mode is cancelled before any sensor IDs are learned, the RCDLR will<br />

remember all previously s<strong>to</strong>red IDs and their locations. As soon as the RCDLR learns the first sensor ID, all previously s<strong>to</strong>red IDs<br />

are erased from the RCDLR's memory.<br />

Sensor Learn Procedure<br />

Important: Before proceeding with the procedure below, ensure that no other learn procedure is being performed simultaneously.<br />

Select the ACC position on the ignition switch. Simultaneously press the keyless entry transmitter lock and unlock but<strong>to</strong>ns until a<br />

horn chirp sounds, indicating the TPM learn mode has been enabled. Starting with the <strong>left</strong> front tire, hold the antenna of the J-46079<br />

against the tire sidewall close <strong>to</strong> the wheel rim at the valve stem location then press and release the Activate but<strong>to</strong>n and wait for a<br />

horn chirp.<br />

After the horn chirp sounds, proceed as in step 3 for the next 3 sensors in the following order:<br />

Right front<br />

Right rear<br />

Left rear<br />

After the <strong>left</strong> rear sensor is learned, a double horn chirp will sound indicating all sensor IDs have been learned.<br />

Select the OFF position on the ignition switch <strong>to</strong> exit the TPM learn mode.<br />

A man decided that he was going <strong>to</strong> ride a 10-speed bike from Phoenix <strong>to</strong> Flagstaff. He<br />

got as far as Black Canyon City before the mountains became just <strong>to</strong>o much and he<br />

could go no further. He stuck his thumb out, but after 3 hours, he hadn't gotten a single<br />

person <strong>to</strong> s<strong>to</strong>p. Finally, a guy in a Corvette pulled over and offered him a ride. Of<br />

course, the bike wouldn't fit in the car. The corvette owner found a piece of rope lying<br />

by the highway and tied it <strong>to</strong> his bumper. He tied the other end <strong>to</strong> the bike and <strong>to</strong>ld the<br />

man that if he was going <strong>to</strong> fast, <strong>to</strong> honk the horn on his bike and he would slow down.<br />

Everything went fine for the first 30 miles. Suddenly, another Corvette blew past them.<br />

Not <strong>to</strong> be outdone, the Corvette pulling the bike <strong>to</strong>ok off after the other. A short<br />

distance down the road, the Corvettes, both going well over 120 mph, blew through a<br />

speed trap.<br />

The police officer noted the speed from his radar gun and radio <strong>to</strong> the other officer that<br />

he has two Corvettes headed his way at over 120 mph. HE then relayed, "... and you're<br />

not going <strong>to</strong> believe this, but there's a guy on a 10-speed bike honking <strong>to</strong> pass!"
