Tire Pressure Monitor

I have a 2004 Cadillac CTS-V (w/ Corvette Z06 LS-6 engine). Recently, I had
my tires rotated, and now the display for the tire pressure is wrong. It
reports the pressure for the back tires as the front tires. The Cadillac
dealer wants $15 to "recalibate" the system, but I'd like to do myself. I
believe this system is identical to the one of the Corvette. Does anyone
know how to recalibrate the tire pressure monitoring system? Thanks in
advacne.

does it say how to do this in your owners manual?

Luke I may be a dummy here but aren't the front and rear tires a different
size and shouldn't be rotated?

Just checked the Cadillac website and it appears all the wheels are the same
size.

Here's a website I found on reprogramming your wheel pressure sensors.

Bruce, thanks for clearing that up, got lazy and didn't reasearch ,it I
assume you mean the tires as well are the same size.

Bruce,

Thanks for your help, but the website link didn't show up. Could you repost
please? Thanks.

Yeah, that is correct. Tires and wheels are the same, didn't mention any
different offsets.

Here's the link, by the way.. duh..

Here's the scoop... the main item you need to re-calibrate (actually

it's "program the sensors" in the service manual lingo) the sensors is a

magnet to engage sensors during the training sequence. The GM tool is J

41760, but maybe a decent powered magnet with a horseshoe shape or hole in

it would suffice??? I use 2 stick magnets in the shape of a "V" and just set
it over the stem.



Make sure vehicle has been stationary for at least 2 minutes.

1 - Ignition on

2 - Press RESET to clear all IPC messages from DIC

3 - Press and release OPTIONS, scroll til IPC is blank

4 - Press and hold DIC RESET for 3 seconds

5 - Press OPTIONS again until TIRE TRAINING message is displayed

6 - Press RESET until IPC LEARN L FRONT TIRE to begin programming

7 - Install J 41760 over left front valve stem (I guess you could try a

hefty magnet now)

8 - The horn will sound indicating LF sensor is programmed

Notice - if after 15 seconds the horn doesn't sound, remove and reinstall

tool on stem. This may have to be done up to three times in some instances.

9 - IPC will direct you to LEARN R FRONT TIRE, R REAR TIRE, then L REAR

TIRE.



Programming Cancellation:

1. Programming mode will cancel if any of the following conditions are met:

- program mode exited through DIC

- ignition turned off

- all four sensors programmed

- TPM program mode for 2 minutes with no sensors learned

2. If cancelled with less than 4 codes stored, the receiver will only accept

the codes programmed up to that point.



There you have it, good luck.



Nice to have that Cadillac powered correctly.

Should be in your owner's manual. If you don't have the manual do a
search on the web. I've done it with a magnet on my Corvette but you
have to know how to get to it in the computer options on your dashboard
first.

You must have a real low life money hungry moron for a dealer. We've
had the very same thing happen twice. When we went back to the dealer
the service greeter appologized profusely. He then got some kind of a
little hand held device and within two minutes had them all back in
sync.

We're I you, I'd do a couple of things.

1) If you get a form from the folks who do polls on service
satisfaction, fill it out and rip your dealer apart.

2) I'd call Cadillac directly, 1 800 458 8006 or if you're in Canada
the number is 1 800 263 3777 ( for French speaking it's 1 800 263 7854
)

Your expereince is simply unacceptable.
