C151C-00-TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS MISSING

Special Tools:






For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.

Theory of Operation

When installing a new Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Module, the module is programed with universal IDs for the Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Sensors. The TPM Module must be programmed with the correct TPM Sensor ID's.

NOTE: FF is the default value. If this value is found, the TPM controller has not been programmed.

- When Monitored:
During vehicle TPM Sensor ID locate process.

- Set Condition:
When installing a new Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Module.





NOTE: Check for and remove any non-FCC compliant components before beginning this diagnostic procedure.

1. VERIFY DTC IS ACTIVE

NOTE: Before beginning diagnostic procedure, verify that tire pressures are correct.

1. Turn the ignition on.
2. With the scan tool, read and record TPM Module DTCs.
3. Test drive the vehicle at a speed greater than 24 km/h (15 mph) for 20 minutes in order to receive TPM data and allow for the system to update.
4. With the scan tool, erase active TPM Module DTCs.
5. With the scan tool, select View DTCs in the Tire Pressure Module (TPM).

Is the DTC status Active at this time?

Yes

- Go To 2

No

- Test complete.
- Perform the TPM VERIFICATION TEST. TPM Verification.

2. TPM-RKE ANALYZER CH9936

Is there a TPM-RKE Analyzer CH9936 available?

Yes

- Go To 3

No

- Go To 4

3. WITH TPM-RKE TOOL CHECK TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING (TPM) SENSOR ID(S)

NOTE: Always be certain to select the proper vehicle line and model year when using this tool, as the tool will automatically use the correct protocol to attempt to read the Sensor. If the incorrect vehicle line and/or model year is selected, the Sensor will not respond to the tool.

NOTE: If you receive no response from any of the tire pressure sensors, check to make sure that the TPM-RKE Analyzer is set correctly, and repeat the process on each of the non-responsive wheel(s)

1. Use a TPM-RKE Analyzer to scan each TPM Sensor for an ID, store in the proper location in the TPM-RKE Analyzer.
2. Use a TPM-RKE Analyzer to upload the correct IDs and proper locations in the scan tool.
3. With the scan tool, select the TPM Module under "Miscellaneous Functions", follow the procedure for uploading TPM Sensor IDs.
4. With the scan tool, erase TPM Module DTCs.
5. Test drive the vehicle at a speed greater than 24 km/h (15 mph) for 20 minutes in order to receive TPM data and allow for the system to update.
6. With the scan tool, check to see if the TPM sensor IDs match what is programmed into the TPM Module.

Do the TPM IDs match?

Yes

- Test complete.
- Perform the TPM VERIFICATION TEST. TPM Verification.

No

- Install a new Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Module. Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Module - Removal.
- Perform the TPM VERIFICATION TEST. TPM Verification.

4. WITHOUT TPM-RKE TOOL CHECK TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING (TPM) SENSOR ID(S)
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Starting with the left front wheel, deflate the tire to 20 PSI, wait two minutes, and check the scan tool for changes to any compensated tire pressure values.
3. Repeat the above step on each wheel of the vehicle.
4. With the scan tool, erase TPM Module DTCs.
5. Test drive the vehicle at a speed greater than 24 km/h (15 mph) for 20 minutes in order to receive TPM data and allow for the system to update.
6. With the scan tool, check to see if the TPM sensor IDs are programmed into the TPM Module.

Are the TPM Sensor IDs in the TPM Module?

Yes

- Test complete.
- Perform the TPM VERIFICATION TEST. TPM Verification.

No

- Install a new Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Module. Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Module - Removal.
- Perform the TPM VERIFICATION TEST. TPM Verification.
