Programming TPM Sensors
1. Turn the ignition to ON.
2. Press the key fob lock and unlock buttons simultaneously for several seconds. The horn will chirp when the TPM
programming mode is activated. Important: If the TPM programming mode cannot be entered, check if the DIM is
configured with the correct RPO codes.
3. Starting with the Left Front Tire
4. Install the J 41760 over the left front valve stem. Magnets from Radio Shack, P/N 64-1888 (at $2.99), will also work.
They're too small to go over the valve stem cap, but once you remove it they slip over the valve stem just fine
instead of the GM tool.
5. The horn will sound, indicating the Left Front TPM sensor is programmed. Important: If the horn does not sound after
15 seconds, remove then reinstall the TPM sensor programming tool or place the magnet alongside the valve stem.
6. When the horn sounds, proceed to program the next TPM sensor in the following order:
o Right Front Tire
o Right Rear Tire
o Left Rear Tire
7. After the Left Rear sensor is programmed, the horn will sound twice to indicate programming is complete.
Programming Cancellation
1. The programming mode will be canceled if any of the following conditions are met:
o The ignition is turned OFF.
o All four sensors have been programmed.
o The TPM system has been in the program mode for longer than 5 minutes and no sensors have been learned.
2. If more then one minute has passed before the next sensor is programmed, all previously stored codes are
erased from the receiver's memory.
after driving around for a few blocks, if the pressure does not match the tire pressure for each wheel, then the sensor is bad.

How to reset the check tire pressure indicator

Using the Driver Information Center (DIC)
Important: After resetting, the tire pressure monitoring (TPM) system requires up to 8 km/h (5 miles) of flat, smooth road straight line driving in each of the 4 speed ranges to complete the calibration process. For further information, refer to Tire Pressure Monitor Description and Operation . If the TPM system does not reset, refer to Driver Information Center (DIC) Switch Inoperative .
  1. Set all tire pressures to the recommended kPa/psi. Refer to Vehicle Certification, Tire Placard, Anti-Theft, and Service Parts ID Label .
  2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  3. Press the vehicle information button until TIRE INFLATION MONITOR SYSTEM PRESS (down/left arrow) SWITCH TO RESET is displayed.
  4. If the system is being reset due to a low tire pressure condition, press and hold the down/left arrow button until TIRE INFLATION MONITOR SYSTEM HAS BEEN RESET is displayed. If the system is being reset due to a tire rotation, press and hold the down/left arrow button for 5 seconds.
  5. Release the down/left arrow button and TIRE PRESSURE NORMAL is displayed.

2001 oldsmobile aurora

Not sure what "exp 18" means...but the Low Tire Pressure or tire pressure monitoring on the Aurora is done via the wheel speed sensors. Anytime you fill or add air to the tire you will need to reset the tire pressure monitoring - not just the current indicator, but go to gage->tire pressure and reset.
If any of the wheel speed sensors are having issue, this can effect the reporting to the tire pressure monitoring. If you have an ODB-II scanner that can read ABS codes this is very helpful as it will tell you exactly which sensors are having problems.

Noise/ rumble, vibration, in front right side at 35-40 mph in 06 dts

Your wheel may be out of balance. I would take it to the nearest tire place or walmart and have them rebalance your wheel/tire. It should not be more than $10-15.

2006 cadillac dts check the tire monitor system light is on. What do i do??

First check for low tire pressures using the Information button (low pressure warning occurs below approx. 26psi). If pressures seem OK, then one of the wheel tpms sensors has probably quit - you can check for error codes (DTCs) using a code reader to see if this is the case, and the faulty sensor will have to be replaced.

The tire pressure guage is on. All tires have been checked and filled with air. Now the light won't go out. How do I reset it?

Some pressure monitor systems won't reset until the car has been driven for a distance at highway speeds.

If the sensor continues to stay on, then you may have a faulty sensor. It will be tricky to diagnose which tire has the faulty sensor though

2002 olds aroura comp. readout says low tire presser.

Your tire has a pressure monitor located inside the tire, it is attached at tire fill valve. These are common to have errors, most of the you may need to go to the dealer to have them recalibrated or possibly replaced, some tire centers can recalibrate them for you if that is the problem. Would recommend contacting either the dealer or tire shop for further assistance. Hope this hlps

Hello vettechgirl2,
When you replace a tire on a vehicle equiped with a tire pressure sensor system, there are several things you need to be aware of. Hopefully the tire company was careful when changing the tire. The valve stem sensor is about $100.00+ to replace on most vehicles equiped with them. On newer vehicles the tires are filled with nitrogen to keep corrosion down on the sensor. When a tire is replaced the sensor system has to be reset a day or two after the replacement, this allows for breaking in of the new tire. All the tires should be checked for proper manufacturer inflation before resetting the system, including the spare if there is an inflated on on the car. Then the internal computer control can be reset. The owners manual should have instructions on how to reset the sensor program, there is usually a small button under the dash that is used for the reset. Once reset, your system should work as before the flat. If it doesn't stay reset, then the tire place didn't do the installation correctly damaging the sensor or the tire is loosing pressure. Check with your car dealer to see what the tires were originally filled with so you don't mix gases when equalizing the pressure. If your owners manual does not have the reset instructions the dealer may have to set it electronically. Regards, rcampsr
