Programming Tire Pressures Sensors Realm

I'm trying to program new tire pressure sensors on a 2018 Realm. I am able to locate the screen under the "Info" button but I am unable to get into programming mode. Any guidance would be appreciated. Cb

When I went to do it I couldn't find any information as to how to do. I finally found something to explain how to do but was not clear. Maybe my old mind might snap and totally remember. I remember going through the screens and found where I could add new sensors. I remember selecting the tire, then went and installed sensor on tire. Once system found sensor I move on to next one.

When you are on the screen, are you able to turn the dial and select a location? If so, have you tried pushing the button while on the location?

I found it.

Press the DIAG key until the "Tire Setup" screen appears. Move the box-cursor thought the various positions.

To setup  move the cursor to the desired position, and press the knob.  Then install the sensor. Within 10-20 seconds an icon should appear indicating the sensor has been detected. The icon will  show as a tire with an "X" through it, indicating that although the sensor has been installed,  we as yet have no valid pressure data. Within another 10-20 seconds the tire icon should change to a green tire, indicating that the pressure data has been received.

Repeat the process for each tire, using the cursor to set up the tires to match the axle tire layout of the vehicle  and or trailer. If a sensor does not appear within 30 seconds of installation, remove the sensor and let it sit for at least 30 seconds. Then press the knob again on the VMS and repeat the installation process.

If you accidentally position a sensor in the wrong place on the display, move the cursor to that position and press "Clear". Remove the sensor from the tire, allow it to sit for 30 seconds and then continue the installation process.

One very important detail that I finally figured out. Engine must be running! Will not program with the key in the on position. Thank you for your assistance. Cb

In my 2014 I don't remember having the engine running since I did it in my garage.

Are you able to get the screen with the key on and engine off? Just not able to program them?

That is correct. I can scroll to the the screen with the key on but cannot select for programming.
