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. |

Luke I may be a dummy here but aren't the front and rear tires a different
size and shouldn't be rotated? "Luke" > wrote in message ... >I have a 2004 Cadillac CTS-V (w/ Corvette Z06 LS-6 engine).

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

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. -- Dad 05 C6 Silver/Red 6spd Z51 72 Shark Black/Black/4spd |

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. |
