Tire Pressure Warning Valve/Sensor Activation (PD059-06)

TIRE PRESSURE WARNING VALVE/SENSOR ACTIVATION

TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN

Introduction

The 2007 model year GX 470 vehicles are equipped with a direct-type Tire Pressure Warning System (TPWS). Each tire (including the spare tire) has a tire pressure warning valve/sensor, and the measured tire pressure data is transmitted to the Tire Pressure Warning System antenna/receiver to the Tire Pressure Warning System ECU.

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

Applicable Vehicles

• 2007  model year GX 470  vehicles.

Reference

• The Low Tire Pressure Warning Light will blink until all the tire pressure warning valves/sensors are activated.
• The Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) listed below may be stored in the TPWS ECU until the tire pressure warning valves/sensors are activated.
• The DTCs will automatically clear when the tire pressure warning valves/sensors are activated.

Activation Procedure

1. Connect the Diagnostic Tester.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position and check that the Low Tire Pressure Warning Light blinks.

4. Press or remove the valve core to reduce the tire inflation pressure rapidly by 6 psi (0.4 kgf/cm² , 40 kPa), or more, within 30 seconds.

   If the tire inflation pressure is NOT reduced by 6 psi (0.4 kgf/cm² , 40 kPa), or more, within 30 seconds, the tire pressure warning valves/sensors will NOT be activated.

   NOTE: This operation is required for the system to be activated and must be performed for each tire (including the spare tire), one at a time.

5. Using the Diagnostic Tester, check for TPWS DTCs.
   • If NO DTCs are stored, go to step 6.
   • If DTCs C2111 - C2115 are stored, repeat step  4.
   • If any other DTCs are stored, refer to the Repair Manual.
6. Adjust all tires (including the spare tire  ) to the standard tire inflation pressure and confirm that the Low Tire Pressure Warning Light is OFF.

   NOTE:

   • If there is great difference between the current temperature of the tire and wheel (for example: shop temperature) and expected temperature (for example: outdoor temperature), this needs to be considered when adjusting the tire pressure.
   • Adjust the tire pressure when the tires are cold.
