Inspection And Verification
- Verify the customer concern by inspecting the vehicle and observing the message center (if equipped), and the TPMS indicator.
- Inspect to determine if one of the following mechanical or electrical concerns apply:
Visual Inspection Chart
VISUAL INSPECTION CHARTMechanical Electrical - Tire pressure
- Non-OEM wheels installed (aftermarket rims)
- TPMS sensor damaged or missing
- Spare tire installed as a road wheel
- Battery junction box (BJB):
- fuse(s) 2 (10A),
- 15 (5A)
- Connectors or connections
- Ground integrity
- Harness routing
- Wire chafing
- Circuitry open/shorted
- TPMS module missing or damaged
- If the inspection reveals an obvious concern(s) that can be readily identified, repair as required.
- If the concern remains after the inspection, connect the scan tool to the data link connector (DLC) located beneath the instrument panel and select the vehicle to be tested from the scan tool menu. If the scan tool does not communicate with the vehicle:
- check the connections to the vehicle.
- check the ignition switch position.
- verify that the battery voltage is between 10 and 16 volts. Refer to BATTERY LOAD TEST .
- If the scan tool still does not communicate with the vehicle, refer to the scan tool manual.
- Carry out the DATA LINK DIAGNOSTIC TEST. If the scan tool responds with:
- CKT914, CKT915 or CKT70 = ALL ECUS NO RESP/NOT EQUIP, refer to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK .
- SYSTEM PASSED, retrieve and record the continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), erase the continuous DTCs, and carry out self-test diagnostics for the TPMS module.
- If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, refer to TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (TPMS) MODULE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) INDEX to continue diagnostics.
- If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, GO to SYMPTOM CHART to continue diagnostics.
NOTE:
If the tire pressure is adjusted to the cold placard pressure, the TPMS light may not immediately turn off. For additional information, Go To PINPOINT TEST F .
TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (TPMS) MODULE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) INDEX
| DTC | Description | Source | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| B1342 | ECU is Defective | TPMS Module | INSTALL a new tire pressure monitor module. REFER to TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM MODULE . |
| B2477 | Module Configuration Failure / Mismatch | TPMS Module | RFFFR to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK . |
| B2849 | Horn Output Relay Circuit Open | TPMS Module | Go To PINPOINT TEST D . |
| B2868 | Left Front Tire Pressure Sensor Fault | TPMS Module | The module has not heard this sensor during the TPMS module removal and installation process. When programming or installing a new TPMS module, the tire pressure sensors must be manually trained. REFER to TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM MODULE . |
| B2869 | Right Front Tire Pressure Sensor Fault | TPMS Module | The module has not heard this sensor during the TPMS module removal and installation process. When programming or installing a new TPMS module, the tire pressure sensors must be manually trained. REFER to TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM MODULE . |
| B2870 | Right Rear Tire Pressure Sensor Fault | TPMS Module | The module has not heard this sensor during the TPMS module removal and installation process. When programming or installing a new TPMS module, the tire pressure sensors must be manually trained. REFER to TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM MODULE . |
| B2871 | Left Rear Tire Pressure Sensor Fault | TPMS Module | The module has not heard this sensor during the TPMS module removal and installation process. When programming or installing a new TPMS module, the tire pressure sensors must be manually trained. REFER to TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM MODULE . |
| B2872 | Tire Pressure Sensor Fault | TPMS Module | Go To PINPOINT TEST E . |
| C2780 | ECU in Manufacturing Mode | TPMS Module | The TPMS module is in manufacturing mode and must undergo the removal and installation process. REFER to the steps in TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM MODULE . |
