  1. Set the parking brake.
  2. Turn the ignition to ON/RUN with the engine off.
  3. Press the RKE transmitter's lock and unlock buttons together for about five seconds until the horn sounds twice and TIRE LEARNING ACTIVE shows.
  4. Hold the relearn tool against the driver side front tire sidewall near the valve stem and press its button until the horn chirps.
  5. Repeat at the passenger side front, passenger side rear, then driver side rear tire; the horn sounds twice after the last one.
