Inspection Procedure 5: Communication Between the Scan Tool and the TPMS Is Not Possible

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 5: Communication between the Scan Tool and the TPMS is not Possible.

CIRCUIT OPERATION
The TPMS receiver is linked to the data link connector via CAN bus line to communicate with the scan tool.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If the system does not communicate with scan tool, power supply to data link connector or CAN bus lines may be defective.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
- Malfunction of the TPMS receiver
- The wiring harness or connectors may have loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.

DIAGNOSIS
Required Special Tools:
- MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)
- MB991824: Vehicle Communication Interface (V.C.I.)
- MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable
- MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, diagnose the CAN bus line.
