New, Low Cost TPMS Activation Tool is Now Available ! Part Number: EL-50448 Sensor Re-Learn Procedure For certain vehicles equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system, a “Sensor Re-Learn Procedure” must be performed after tire rotations, Remote Control Door Lock Receiver Module replacement or Tire Pressure Sensor replacement. Currently, this re- learn procedure can be performed by using Special Tool EL-46079 (J-46079) or via a manual procedure that requires the technician to increase and decrease tire pressure in a specific sequence. Changes to the Service Procedure GM Product Engineering has determined that in some instances the manual re-learn procedure can cause the TPM system to pick up stray sensor signals from nearby vehicles which can result in Diagnostic Trouble Codes being stored and parts being unnecessarily replaced. To address this concern GM Product Engineering will be disabling the TPM manual re-learn capability from the vehicle software starting January 2011. A Special Service Tool is needed to perform TPMS Re-Learn Due to the changes in vehicle software, a Special Service Tool is required to perform the TPMS Re-learn procedure. If your dealership currently has the EL-46079 (J-46079), you can continue to use this tester for the Re-Learn procedure. If your dealership does Not Have a special service tool to perform the re-learn procedure, it is important that you purchase the new lower cost tool (EL-50448) that will perform the Re-Learn function. The tool needs to be in your dealership in time to service TPM equipped vehicles manufactured after January 2011. TPM equipped vehicles manufactured before January 2011 can continue to use the Special Service Tools (EL-46079 or EL-50448) or the manual procedure for TPM Re- Learn. Note: the diagnostic functions that are currently included in the EL-46079 will be built in to Scan Tool Diagnostics. The new EL-50448 does not contain the diagnostic features that are included in the EL-46079.
