TIRE PRESSURE WARNING SYSTEM: DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM

1. CHECK BATTERY VOLTAGE
Standard voltage:
11 to 14 V
If the voltage is below 11 V, recharge the battery before proceeding to the next step.
2. CHECK DLC3





(a) The ECU uses ISO 15765-4 for communication protocol. The terminal arrangement of the DLC3 complies with SAE J1962 and matches the ISO 15765-4 format.





NOTICE: *: Before measuring the resistance, leave the vehicle as is for at least 1 minute and do not operate the ignition switch, or any other switches or the doors.

(b) If the result is not as specified, DLC3 may have a malfunction. Repair or replace the harness and connector.
HINT: Connect the cable of Techstream to the DLC3, turn the ignition switch to the ON position and attempt to use the tester. If the display indicates that a communication error has occurred, there is a problem either with the vehicle or with the tester.
- If communication is normal when the tester is connected to another vehicle, inspect the DLC3 of the original vehicle.
- If communication is still not possible when the tester is connected to another vehicle, the problem may be in the tester itself. Consult the Service Department listed in the tester's instruction manual.

3. DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
(a) DTCs (Normal mode)
(1) DTCs are memorized in the tire pressure warning ECU and read by the blinks of the tire pressure warning light or by using Techstream Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
(b) Test mode
(1) By switching from normal mode into test mode (input signal check), you can inspect the tire pressure warning antenna and receiver, each tire pressure warning valve and transmitter, and vehicle speed sensor Test Mode Procedure.
4. CHECK WARNING LIGHT





(a) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

(b) Check that the tire pressure warning light comes on for 3 seconds.
If the warning check result is not normal, proceed to the troubleshooting for the tire pressure warning light circuit.





5. TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT AND INDICATOR CHART
HINT: The table below indicates the state of the tire pressure warning light and indicator after the ignition switch is turned to the ON position.





- *1: Comes on and goes off repeatedly at 0.5 seconds intervals, and comes on after 1 minute.




- *2: Comes on and goes off repeatedly at 0.125 seconds intervals.




- *3: Blinks 3 times (1 second on, 1 second off).




- *4: Comes on and goes off repeatedly at 0.25 seconds intervals.
