Circuit/System Testing

- Inflate tires to the proper pressure. Refer to VEHICLE CERTIFICATION, TIRE PLACARD, ANTI-THEFT, AND SERVICE PARTS ID LABEL .
- Using the tire pressure monitor (TPM) special tool, activate each tire pressure sensor and record each sensors tire pressure reading in psi. Check tire pressures with a known accurate hand held tire pressure gauge. Verify pressure readings from special tool do not differ 4 psi or more lower than actual tire pressure.
- If 4 psi or more lower than actual tire pressure, replace the suspect tire pressure sensor.
- With the scan tool, select instrument panel special functions Lamp Test. Command the instrument panel warning lamps OFF. Verify low tire pressure indicator lamp turns OFF.
- If the lamp does not turn OFF, replace the IPC.
- Enable the TPM learn mode. Use the TPM special tool in simulate mode to learn 4 simulated sensor transmissions into the RCDLR. Observe tire pressures in the scan tool data display. Verify simulated tire pressures do not differ more than +/- 4 psi of the scan tool reading.
- If the tire pressures differ more than +/- 4 psi, replace the RCDLR.
