Component Location





General Description

The TPMS is the acronym for Tire Pressure Monitoring System. This system monitors the pressure in the tires. If the pressure it drops below a certain amount, the TPMS ECU will turn on the warning lamp turn to notifying the driver. This system consists of TPMS ECU(or TPMS Receiver) and TPMS sensors. Among components of TPMS system, the TPMS sensor is installed at each wheel rim. The sensor measures the air pressure and the temperature of the tire and then transmits it to the TPMS ECU. The communication from TPMS sensors is done via RF(Radio Frequency) at a given frequency.

DTC Description

This DTC indicates that the WE Sensor has detected that it has an internal fault (measurement diagnosis or hardware diagnosis status). The most likely cause is sensor failure.
