C151D
C151D-TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR LOCATION UNDETERMINED
For a complete wiring diagram Consult Diagrams/Electrical.
Theory of Operation
The vehicle sensor locate process occurs after the vehicle sits at zero speed for more than 19 min. The tire pressure monitor system will determine the sensor positions while driving at speeds above 15 MPH (24 Km/h). This process can take up to 10 min. to determine sensor positions.
- When Monitored:
During vehicle sensor locate process.
- Set Condition:
Must fail vehicle sensor locate process 3 times in a row.

Using a 12-volt test light connect to ground, check the Fused Ignition Switch Output (Run) circuit.
NOTE: The test light should be illuminated and bright. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.
Is the test light illuminated and bright?
Yes
- Go to 5
No
- Repair the Fused Ignition Switch Output (Run) circuit for an open circuit or high resistance.
- Perform TPM VERIFICATION TEST. Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) Verification Test
5. GROUND CIRCUIT(S) OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE
Using a 12-volt test light connect to battery voltage, probe each of the Ground circuit(s).
NOTE: The test light should be illuminated and bright. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.
Does the test light illuminate brightly?
Yes
- Go to 6
No
- Repair the Ground circuit(s) for an open circuit or high resistance.
- Perform TPM VERIFICATION TEST. Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) Verification Test
6. (D508) COM - LIN TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR LAN CIRCUIT SHORT TO VOLTAGE
Turn the ignition on.
Measure the voltage of the (D508) COM - LIN Tire Pressure Monitor LAN circuit.
Is there any voltage present?
Yes
- Repair the (D508) COM - LIN Tire Pressure Monitor LAN circuit for a short to voltage.
No
- Go to 7
- Perform TPM VERIFICATION TEST. Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) Verification Test
7. (D508) COM - LIN TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR LAN CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND
Turn the ignition off.
Measure the resistance between ground and the (D508) COM - LIN Tire Pressure Monitor LAN circuit.
Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?
Yes
- Repair the (D508) COM - LIN Tire Pressure Monitor LAN circuit for a short to ground.
- Perform TPM VERIFICATION TEST. Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) Verification Test
No
- Go to 8
8. (D508) COM - LIN TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR LAN CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE
Use a jumper wire with one end connected to ground and the other to the (D508) COM - LIN Tire Pressure Monitor LAN circuit in the Front Left Pressure Tire Transponder harness connector.
Using a 12-Volt test light connected to battery voltage, probe the (D508) COM - LIN Tire Pressure Monitor LAN circuit in the TPM harness connector.
NOTE: The test light should be illuminated and bright. Compared the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.
Does the test light illuminate bright?
Yes
- Go to 9
No
- Repair the (D508) COM - LIN Tire Pressure Monitor LAN circuit for an open circuit or high resistance.
- Perform TPM VERIFICATION TEST. Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) Verification Test
9. POWER AND GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN
Turn the ignition on.
With a voltmeter measure the voltage between the power and ground circuit at the Trigger Module.
Is the voltage at least the same as battery voltage?
Yes
- Go to 10
No
- Repair the open circuit.
- Perform TPM VERIFICATION TEST. Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) Verification Test
10. CHECK FOR ADDITIONAL TRIGGER MODULE COMMUNICATION RELATED DTCs
