Mounting a wheel back on the H3?
Hello All,
I am having one of my tires repaired for running over a nail the other day. When I put the wheel back on the vehicle does it need to go on a certain way for the TPMS? Meaning, does all of the sensor positions have to match with each other? Would I need to reset the TPMS system? Thanks in advance!

Check the owner's manual, this stuff might be in there . . .
Okay, the short of it: the TPMS system recognizes the four tires on the ground, not the spare. So if you rotate the spare into use you have to reset the TPMS (per the instructions in the owners manual) to recognize the spare.
If you just had the tire off for a repair and it went back to the same spot, don't worry about resetting it. The TPMS in the H3 isn't like the ones in the H2, Caddy's etc. where it reports which position and PSI, etc. As long as you aren't getting warning lights on the DIC you should be good.
If you really, really want to get knowledgeable about TPMS, do a little Search here in the forums.

Not from my first hand knowledge, just from pics and threads if I recall. I just checked an '05 H2 Owners Manual:
Tire Pressures: The tire pressure mode is available
only on vehicles equipped with a tire pressure monitor.
Press the trip information button until TIRE
PRESSURES appears on the display. This mode shows
the tire pressure in pounds per square inch (psi) or
kilopascals (kPa). Press the select button to scroll
through the following information:
• LF TIRE shows the tire pressure for the left
front tire.
• RF TIRE shows the tire pressure for the right
front tire.
• LR TIRE shows the tire pressure for the left
rear tire.
• RR TIRE shows the tire pressure for the right
rear tire.

Then what's the difference? I have the TPS (all vehicles built after Sept 07 do) but my DIC doesn't do any of that.

From the H3 06 Owners Manual:
TPMS Sensor Identification Codes
[font=arial][color=#231f20][size=1]Each TPMS sensor has a unique identification code. Any time you rotate your vehicle’s tires or replace one or
more of the TPM sensors, the identification codes will need to be matched to the new tire/wheel position.
The sensors are matched to the tire/wheel positions in the following order:
left front (LF), right front (RF), right rear (RR) and left rear (LR).
You will have one minute to match the first tire/wheel position, and five minutes overall to match all four
tire/wheel positions. If it takes longer than one minute, to match the first tire and wheel, or more than
five minutes to match all four tire and wheel positions the matching process stops and you will need to start over.
[font=arial][color=#231f20][size=1]The TPM sensor matching procedure is outlined below:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON with the engine off.
3. Turn the exterior lamp switch from AUTO to ON four times within three seconds. A double horn
chirp will sound and the TPMS low tire warning light will begin to flash. The double horn chirp and
flashing TPMS warning light indicates the TPM matching process has started. The TPMS warning
light should continue flashing throughout the matching procedure. The SERV TPM message will
be displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
4. Start with the left (driver’s side) front tire.
5. Remove the valve cap from the valve cap stem. Activate the TPMS sensor by increasing or
decreasing the tire’s air pressure for 10 seconds, then stop and listen for a single horn chirp.
The single horn chirp should sound within 15 seconds, confirming that the sensor identification
code has been matched to this tire and wheel position. If you do not hear the confirming single
horn chirp, you will need to start over with step number one. To let air-pressure out of a tire you can
use the pointy end of the valve cap, a pencil-style air pressure gage or a key.
6. Proceed to the right (passenger’s side) front tire, and repeat the procedure in Step 5.
7. Proceed to the right (passenger’s side) rear tire, and repeat the procedure in Step 5.
8. Proceed to the left (driver’s side) rear tire, and repeat the procedure in Step 5.
9. After hearing the confirming horn chirp for the left rear tire, check to see if the TPMS warning light is
still flashing. If yes, turn the ignition switch to LOCK.
10. Set all four tires to the recommended air pressure level as indicated on the Tire and Loading Information label.
11. Put the valve caps back on the valve stems.
