ATEQ TPMS Reset Procedure

NOTE: If tire pressure sensor is replaced, it will need to be initiated. The TPMS is not affected by wheel and tire rotation. When 4 sensors have been learned as road wheels, it is not possible to learn new road wheel sensors on the same ignition cycle.

NOTE: Do not perform this procedure if vehicle is parked on a metal floor, roof, or on an alignment rack or lift. The metal will transfer the RF signals, which can cause the learn procedure to fail and set Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).

NOTE: The sensor's default state will be Storage Auto (High Line).

NOTE: The TPMS sensors, located in each wheel well, measure the tire pressure and temperature and transmit the data to the TPMS initiator. The tire pressure sensor operates in 2 modes: stationary/rolling mode and sleep mode. In stationary/rolling mode, the sensor will measure pressure and temperature every 4 seconds, and measure acceleration every 60 seconds. High line sensors transmit data every 60 seconds while awake. In sleep mode, the sensor enters a low current consumption state where no measurements are made in order to conserve battery power. All sensors are in this state when new. The sensor will not transmit unless requested to do so by the initiate command or when vehicle accelerates to 20 mph (32 km/h). High line sensors return to sleep mode if it receives no signals and the tire remains stationary for 10 minutes.

NOTE: The TPMS receiver auto-locates and auto-learns the TPMS sensor. The TPMS receiver decides which warning indicators and wheel location indicator to illuminate, from the low frequency (LF) signal data received from the TPMS initiators. The TPMS receiver sends low frequency (LF) signal to the TPMS initiator, located in the each wheel well, to wake up the TPMS sensors. The TPMS initiators are instructed to wake up the TPMS sensor every 10 minutes, to keep the TPMS sensor awake while the ignition switch is in the ON position.

NOTE: When tire pressure is below the allowed threshold, the low tire pressure indicator on the instrument cluster will be illuminated. If the system detects a fault or external fault with the TPMS receiver, TPMS initiator, or TPMS sensor, the TPMS warning indicator on the instrument cluster will be illuminated. If the fault is considered "critical", the light will stay on throughout the entire ignition cycle.

NOTE: On some Kia models, the alternate procedure at the bottom of the article may also work.

Turn ignition switch to OFF position.
Set the tire pressure of all wheels to pressure specified on the tire and loading information label.
Select "Reset TPM System" on the TPMS3.
When asked to select HIGH LINE or LOW LINE, refer to the High Line And Low Line Systems By Model table below.
Hold the TPMS3 against the side wall of the tire, within 3 inches of the valve stem. Press TEST button on the TPMS3 and read each of the sensor IDs in the following order: left front, right front, left rear, and then right rear.
Connect the TPMS3 OBDII module to the Data Link Connector (DLC) located under the driver's side of the instrument panel.
Turn ignition switch to ON position. Do not start engine.
When screen prompts to "CONNECT OBDII MODULE", press "Y" button on the TPMS3 to transmit sensor IDs.
Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Disconnect the TPMS3 from DLC.
Turn ignition switch to ON position. Do not start engine and wait for 4 minutes.
If a TPMS sensor was NOT replaced, registration is complete. If any TPMS sensor WAS replaced, drive vehicle at a speed exceeding 12 mph for 20 minutes to complete the registration process.
After the IDs are memorized, reduce the pressure in all 4 tires to less than the appropriate specification, and check to see that the tire pressure indicator light (if equipped) is lit and the correct wheel location indicator (if equipped) is on. If not, turn the wheel a quarter turn and recheck.

Alternate Reset Prodedure:

NOTE: On some Kia models, the following procedure may also work.

Set the tire pressure of all wheels to specified pressure.
Park vehicle for 20 minutes after TPM sensor replacement.
Drive the vehicle at 16 mph or above for up to 10 minutes.
