TIRE PRESSURE WARNING SYSTEM INITIALIZATION

Component
GENERAL INFORMATION

Models
'10 Corolla

INTRODUCTION:
The 2010 model year Corolla is equipped with a direct-type Tire Pressure Warning System (TPWS). Each tire (except the spare tire) has a tire pressure warning valve/sensor that measures tire pressure. The data is transmitted to the Tire Pressure Warning System antenna/receiver and then to the Tire Pressure Warning System ECU.

During Pre-Delivery Service (PDS), the tire pressure warning valves/sensors must be initialized according to the procedure in this TSB.







APPLICABLE VEHICLES:







REQUIRED SSTs:


NOTE:
- Additional Techstream units may be ordered by completing the order form on ETAS and faxing it to (416) 431-8342.

INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE:
1. Cycle the ignition switch to the "ON" position and connect ETAS Techstream.







2. Adjust all tires to the standard tire inflation pressure, as indicated on the Tire and Loading Information label located inside the driver's door jamb and confirm that the Low Tire Pressure Warning Light is OFF.

NOTE
Adjust the tire pressure when the tires are cold

NOTE
To adjust tire pressure correctly when outside temperature is significantly colder or warmer than shop temperature. Follow the procedures outlined in the Tire Inflation Pressure Compensation and Adjustment service bulletin. (TSB1317)







3. Push and hold the Tire Pressure Warning "SET" Switch for 3 seconds until the Low Tire Pressure Warning Light blinks 3 times and then turns OFF to set the tire pressure initialization.

The ignition switch MUST be left in the "ON" position for AT LEAST 5 minutes for initialization to complete.

IMPORTANT:
Initialization will NOT complete if the ignition switch is NOT left in the "ON" position for AT LEAST 5 minutes.

4. Cycle the ignition switch to the "OFF" position and then to the "IG-ON" position.
5. Check the tire pressure values of all the tires using ETAS Techstream.

NOTE:
- It can take 2 - 3 minutes for the tire pressure values to be displayed on the ETAS Techstream Data List.
- If the tire pressure values CANNOT be displayed on the ETAS Techstream screen, the initialization is NOT completed. Repeat steps 2 - 4.
