- If the TPMS control unit was replaced, the TPMS indicator will be on until all four tire pressure sensor ID codes are learned.

1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).

2. Check the TPMS indicator for several seconds when the ignition switch is turned ON (II).

Did the indicator come on, and then go off?

YES -

The system is OK at this time.�

Is there continuity?

YES -

Repair a short to body ground in the wire between the No. 10 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box and the TPMS control unit.�

NO -
