Air Pressure Monitor

DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM (BCM)


AIR PRESSURE MONITOR : Diagnosis Description


DESCRIPTION
During driving, the transmitter installed at each road wheel transmits the tire pressure information signal to the receiver. The receiver receives the tire pressure signal and transmits it to the BCM. The BCM judges whether or not the tire pressure is OK based on the tire pressure information signal, and if it judges that the tire pressure is low, it transmits the information via CAN communication to the combination meter.
After receiving the tire pressure information via CAN communication from the BCM, the combination meter illuminates the low tire pressure warning lamp and displays.

SELF DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
1. Initiate diagnosis mode by short-circuiting the low tire pressure warning check switch to the ground.
2. The blinking pattern of the low tire pressure warning lamp indicates the conditions of the malfunction.






NOTE:
If the low tire pressure warning lamp is blinking repeatedly at 5 Hz, there is no malfunction occurring in the system.











ERASE SELF-DIAGNOSIS
After performing self-diagnosis by short-circuiting the tire pressure warning check switch to the body, turn the ignition switch OFF.
