The tire pressure monitor (TPM) system has a radio frequency (RF) transmitting pressure sensor in each wheel/tire assembly. As vehicle speed increases, centrifugal force closes the sensor internal roll switch, which puts the sensor into drive mode. The sensor signals are received by the tire pressure receivers mounted near each wheel. Each receiver has a 5 volt reference circuit, a low reference circuit, and signal circuit connected to the tire pressure module. The tire pressure module transmits the individual sensor signals to the remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR) which translates the data contained in the tire pressure sensor RF transmissions into sensor presence, sensor mode, and tire pressure. Once vehicle speed is 40 kph (25 mph) or greater, the RCDLR waits for the sensors to go into Rolling mode. If one or more sensors do not go into Rolling mode, or do not transmit at all, the RCDLR will set DTC C0750, C0755, C0760, or C0765 respectively.
Vehicle speed is 25 mph or greater for 2 minutes.
• | A sensor does not transmit for 18 minutes. |
• | A receiver does not receive a sensor signal after 18 minutes. |
• | A malfunctioning tire pressure receiver. |
• | An open/high resistance, short to voltage, or short to ground in the tire pressure module power or ground circuit. |
• | An open, short to voltage, short to ground, or high resistance in a tire pressure receiver 5 volt reference, low reference, or signal circuit. |
• | The driver information center (DIC) displays the suspect tire pressure as dashes. |
• | The DIC displays the service tire monitor type message. |
• | A current DTC will clear when the malfunction is no longer present and 1 ignition cycle occurs. |
• | The RCDLR automatically clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 100 consecutive drive cycles. |
• | Some aftermarket wheel valve stem holes are located further from the wheel rim than original equipment wheels. When using the TPM special tool to activate a sensor, ensure the tools antenna is no further than 15 cm (6 in) from the sensor. |
• | Aftermarket wheel valve stem locations can cause a sensor to not function correctly. |
• | The sensor activation procedure may have to be repeated up to 3 times before determining a sensor is malfunctioning. |
• | Occasionally sensors can become mislocated due to previous tire rotations where the sensor learn procedure was not performed. Always learn the sensors to ensure the DTC set is for that actual physical corner of the vehicle. Refer to Tire Pressure Sensor Learn . |
• | Occasionally sensor transmissions are not received by the RCDLR due to vehicle level RF interference. |
Tire Pressure Monitoring System Schematics
Tire Pressure Monitor Description and Operation
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test for an open/high resistance or short to ground in the B+ circuit. If the circuit tests normal, replace the tire pressure module. |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If circuit tests normal, replace the tire pressure module. |
⇒ | If less than the specified range, test the 5 volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the tire pressure module. |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the 5 volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the tire pressure module. |
⇒ | If the parameters do not match, test the signal circuit for a short to ground, open/high resistance, or short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the tire pressure module. |
⇒ | If any of the parameters listed above are not displayed, replace the suspect tire pressure sensor. |
⇒ | If the ID and location do not match, perform the Tire Pressure Sensor Learn procedure. |
⇒ | If the suspect Pressure Sensor Mode does not change, replace the suspect tire pressure sensor. |
