A mileage counter activates the service reminder indicator between 12,000 and 30,000 mile intervals,
depending on whether mechanical or electronic type is used. On 1987 Dakota models, mileage counter in the
odometer will illuminate reminder light at 52,500, 82,500 and 105,000 miles.
The electronic type uses a 9-volt battery which supplies power to the electronic counter, preventing memory
loss when vehicle battery is disconnected.
NOTE: Vehicle battery must be connected during resetting procedure to prevent power
loss to memory.
To reset electronic type, locate Green, Red, White or Tan plastic case behind instrument panel in lower left
cluster area. Slide case from bracket and open cover. Remove 9-volt battery, and insert a small rod or
screwdriver into hole in switch, closing contacts. Replace battery with a new 9-volt alkaline type. Close case.

NOTE: To determine the appropriate reset procedure, refer to TPMS RESET INDEX.
Only vehicles listed in this index have a TPMS reset.
NOTE: In a low tire pressure siuation, the TPMS indicator light (and message) will turn
OFF only after the tires are inflated to the vehicles recommended cold placard
pressure value. The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above
20 mph (32 km/h) in order for the TPMS to determine that the inflation pressures
are correct.
Once a sensor has been replaced and vehicle has remained stationary for more than 20 minutes, drive vehicle
for a minimum of 20 minutes while maintaining a continuous speed above 20 mph (32 km/h). During this time,
the system will learn the new sensor ID code and will clear any DTCs automatically. If a sensor cannot be
trained, see appropriate manufacturer service information.
NOTE: The sensor IDs can also be programmed using the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool.
Scan each TPM sensor at each road wheel, and store each Sensor ID in the
correct location (Left Front, Left Rear, Right Front, and Right Rear). Connect the
TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool to the Scan Tool. Then follow the programming steps
outlined in the diagnostic Scan Tool for "Program Tire Pressure Sensor ID w/
TPM Tool".
Once a sensor has been replaced and vehicle has remained stationary for more than 20 minutes, drive vehicle
for a minimum of 10 minutes while maintaining a continuous speed above 20 mph (32 km/h). During this time,
the system will learn the new sensor ID code and will clear any DTCs automatically. If a sensor cannot be
trained, see appropriate manufacturer service information.
NOTE: If a tire is changed (tire rotation), one or more tire pressure sensors fail, or if
TPM module is replaced, the TPM system needs to relearn tire pressure sensor
IDs. To perform this procedure, a Chrysler DRB-III® scan tool and a Relearn
Magnet (8821) must be used.
NOTE: The vehicle's tires must not have been rotated above 5 mph (8 km/h) in the last
2 minutes prior to programming.
1. Connect Chrysler DRB-III® scan tool to vehicle's Data Link Connector (DLC), which is located beneath
instrument panel, near steering column.
NOTE: If a tire is changed (tire rotation), one or more tire pressure sensors fail, or if
TPM module is replaced, the TPM system needs to relearn tire pressure sensor
IDs. The procedure is similar to Tire Sensors Programming in TPMS RESET -
PROCEDURE 2.
When tire pressure is low, the "Low Tire" Pressure Indicator Lamp signal circuit will be pulsed to ground by the
TPM module for two seconds on and then two seconds off, over and over. The BCM will then illuminate the
"Low Tire" Pressure Indicator Lamp at the same rate and sound the audible chime as one single long tone.
When tire pressure is critical, the low tire pressure warning lamp signal circuit will be pulsed to ground by the
low tire pressure warning module for one second on and then one second off, over and over. The BCM will then
illuminate the "Low Tire" Pressure Indicator Lamp and sound the audible chime at the rate of one second on
and one second off.
In either case, the TPM module will continue to pulse to ground the "Low Tire" Pressure Indicator Lamp signal
circuit until the sensor/transmitter(s) transmits a pressure above the calibrated thresholds (and car is then driven
above 20 mph (32 km/h)) or the ignition is turned off. If the conditions has not been corrected when the ignition
is turned off, the indicator lamp will remain off when the ignition is turned on again until the vehicle reaches a
speed of approximately 20 mph (32 km/h).
NOTE: In the event a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is set, the "Low Tire" Pressure
Indicator Lamp will illuminate continuously until the ignition is turned off. A low
tire pressure condition cannot set a diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
The TPMS will not turn off the indicator lamp until the tire pressure is at or above the Low Pressure (lamp)
OFF threshold. The system will automatically update and the TPM indicator lamp will extinguish once the
updated tire pressures have been received.
NOTE: If a tire pressure sensor has been replaced, the TPM system needs to relearn
tire pressure sensor IDs.
Wireless Control Module (WCM): The WCM automatically learns and stores new sensor IDs while driving
"within 10-20 minutes continuously above 15 mph (24 km/h)" after a sensor has been replaced. The learning
sequence will initiate when the vehicle has been stopped for more then 20 minutes.
A new sensor ID can also be programmed directly into the WCM by using an RKE-TPM Analyzer in
conjunction with a Scan Tool. Scan each TPM sensor at each road wheel, and store each Sensor ID in the
correct location. (Left Front, Left Rear, Right Front, and Right Rear) Connect the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool to
the Scan Tool. Then follow the programming steps outlined in the diagnostic Scan Tool for "Program Tire
Pressure Sensor ID w/ TPM Tool"
For further information, refer to the Owners Manual or the Appropriate Diagnostic Information.
There are two tire pressure monitoring systems available, a base system and a premium system. The base
system does not specify how many tires are low or where they are located. The premium system does indicate
which tire is low. Sensor types are the Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) module for the 2500/3500 series, or the
Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) for the 1500 series.
The TPMS will not turn off the indicator lamp until the tire pressure is at or above specified tire pressure. The
system will automatically update and the TPM indicator lamp will extinguish once the updated tire pressures
have been received.
If the TPMS detects that the tire pressure in any road tire is going low, a chime will sound and the indicator
lamp will turn on. In addition to the chime and lamp, a graphic display of the pressure value(s) and position of
the low tire(s) will flash in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC). Once pressure in the suspect tire
(s) raises above the specified tire pressure, and the TPM module receives a valid transmission from the sensor
the lamp will go out. If a system fault is detected due to a missing sensor signal, in addition to a chime and a
indicator lamp flashing, a "Check TPM System" text message will be displayed in the instrument cluster, and
the tire pressure graphic display will display "- -" in place of the pressure value. After the flash sequence the
TPM indicator lamp will remain illuminated. The system will return to normal once the TPM module receives a
valid transmission from that sensor location. If a system fault is detected, the indicator lamp will flash on/off for
75 seconds and then remain on solid.
NOTE: If a tire pressure sensor has been replaced, the TPM system needs to relearn
tire pressure sensor IDs.
The WIN or TPM automatically learns and stores the sensor IDs while driving "within 10-20 minutes
continuously above 15 mph (24 km/h)" after a sensor has been replaced. The learning sequence will initiate
after the vehicle has been stopped for more than 20 minutes.
A new sensor ID can also be programmed directly into the WIN or TPM module by using a RKE-TPM
Analyzer in conjunction with a Scan Tool. Once the new sensor ID has been programmed, the vehicle will need
to be driven above 15 mph until the fault is no longer active (lamp extinguishes) and display is updated (for up
to 20 minutes).
NOTE: The matching full size spare wheel and tire assembly (if equipped) has a TPM
sensor. The spare can be used in place of any of the four road tires. The TPMS
will only monitor the pressure in the full size spare when it is used in place of a
road tire. Otherwise, a spare with pressure below the low-pressure limit will not
cause the TPMS indicator light to illuminate or the chime to sound.
NOTE: If tires have been rotated or a tire pressure sensor has been replaced, the tire
pressure sensors must be retrained. Refer to the following procedure to
program the module for identification of one new or all tire pressure
sensor/transmitters.
NOTE: The vehicle's tires must not have been rotated above 5 mph (8 km/h) in the last
two minutes prior to programming.
1. Connect a DRBIII® scan tool to the vehicle's diagnostic connector beneath the instrument panel, to the
right of the steering column.
2. Access the Chassis System using the DRBIII.
3. Once in the Chassis System, select Tire Pressure Monitor, followed by Miscellaneous.
4. Select the appropriate function from the next screen displaying the following options:
Program LF Pressure Sensor
Program RF Pressure Sensor
Program RR Pressure Sensor
Program LR Pressure Sensor
Program Module (4 Sensors)
Monitor
5. Place a magnet (or special tool 8821), at the valve stem for that wheel as directed by the DRBIII. If the
Program Module function has been chosen, the DRBIII will direct you to the left front wheel pressure
sensor/transmitter first.
NOTE: When programming the module (all four sensor/transmitters), the magnet
should be moved from wheel to wheel in a clockwise direction starting at
the left front wheel.
6. When that wheels pressure sensor/transmitter has been programmed, the DRBIII will display Program
Transmitter Complete or will automatically direct you to the next wheel sensor/transmitter to be
programmed.
7. Remove the magnet and if programming the entire module, move the magnet to each of the remaining
wheels as directed by the DRBIII. Each sensor/transmitter will automatically sense the presence of the
magnet and begin programming.
8. Once Program Transmitter Complete is displayed, exit the program function screen.
9. Verify that the module programming is complete by looking at the tire pressure sensor/transmitter ID's in
the Sensor Display using the DRBIII.
