How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light (TPMS) on a Cadillac DTS
Steps from the 2011 Cadillac DTS owner's manual.
- Set the parking brake.
- Turn the ignition to ON/RUN with the engine off.
- Press the RKE transmitter's lock and unlock buttons together for about five seconds until the horn sounds twice and TIRE LEARNING ACTIVE shows.
- Hold the relearn tool against the driver side front tire sidewall near the valve stem and press its button until the horn chirps.
- Repeat at the passenger side front, passenger side rear, then driver side rear tire; the horn sounds twice after the last one.
- Turn the ignition to LOCK/OFF, then set all four tires to the pressure on the Tire and Loading Information label.
- A TPMS relearn tool is required; see your dealer for service or to purchase one.
- You have two minutes for the first tire and five minutes overall, or the process stops and must be restarted.
- Do this after rotating tires or replacing a TPMS sensor or swapping the spare for a road tire with a sensor.
