Tire Pressure Monitor Module Failure

TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR MODULE FAILURE

WHEN MONITORED
With the ignition on, the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) monitors the tire pressure sensor/transmitters approximately once a minute. The TPM module stores the last 32 transmissions from the four tire pressure sensor/transmitters.

SET CONDITION
If the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) module does not receive a transmission from any of the four tire pressure/transmitters for six consecutive ignition cycles lasting at least 15 minutes, the DTC will be set.

POSSIBLE CAUSES
- No Tire Pressure Sensor/Transmitters
- Tire Pressure Sensor/Transmissers not Programmed
- Tire Pressure Monitor Module

DIAGNOSTIC TEST

1. Inspect Tire Pressure Sensor / Transmitters

Turn the ignition off.

Inspect all four vehicle wheels for the Tire Pressure Sensor/Transmitters being present.

Do all the wheels have tire pressure sensor/transmitters?

Yes >> Go to 2

No >> Install the Tire Pressure Sensor/Transmitters and program module. Perform TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR VERIFICATION TEST.

2. Programming Tire Pressure Monitor

Turn the ignition on.





With the DRBIII and a calibration magnet, program the Tire Pressure Monitor module for all four sensor/transmitters.

Disconnect the DRBIII and prepare the vehicle for a road test.

Road test the vehicle above 33 km/h (20 mph) for a minimum of two minutes.

With the DRBIII read the last 32 transmissions received by the Tire Pressure Monitor.

Does the DRBIII display any of the tire pressure transmitter IDs in the last 32 transmissions?

Yes >> Repair is complete. Perform TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR VERIFICATION TEST.

No >> Replace and program the Tire Pressure Monitor module. Perform TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR VERIFICATION TEST.
