Tire Monitor System - System Overview
Tire Pressure Monitoring SystemA Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) will be available on the 2006 Tucson. The system uses sensors located in each of the tire rims. They are connected to the base of the tire inflation stems. The four Tire Pressure Sensors monitor changes in tire inflation, pressure and temperature. The sensor information is sent to the TPMS Receiver, which in turn illuminates the TPMS indicator lamp if conditions warrant. The TPMS Receiver also monitors the sensors for malfunction. Several DTCs relate to Tire Pressure monitoring. They are listed in the chart.
When the sensors are operating in the "Normal" mode, sensor transmissions occurs at regular intervals. When delivered as service parts, the sensors are set at the "Storage" mode. In this mode, the sensors are not set for monitoring. The initiation procedure (outlined below) to set the mode and register each sensor is accomplished with the Tire Pressure Monitoring System Exciter.
Hyundai Motor America will be shipping the new Tire Pressure Monitoring System Exciter to dealerships. The kit contains: TPMS Exciter main body, protective rubber shroud, rechargeable battery, DLC cable, USB cable, AD/DC adaptor, operation manual and software CD.
In addition to sensor initialization, the TPMS Exciter also sets monitoring parameters for the TPMS Receiver. Use the following procedure with the TPMS Exciter to initiate new sensors.
Sensor Initialization
1. Change the sensor mode to Normal mode with the "TPMS Exciter."
2. Read the four sensor's IDs starting with sensor 14. Register the four sensor's IDs to the receiver.
(1 normally front left, 2 front right, 3 rear left, 4 rear right).
3. Connect 'TPMS exciter' to the diagnostic connector.
4. Register the four sensor's IDs to the receiver.
NOTE:
^ The system will then automatically configure sensors accordingly.
^ Note that sensors which were already configured as Base will take longer to read.
5. Disconnect diagnostic link.
6. Cycle Ignition wait 4 minutes and check that Normal Receiver State (discussed below) is now indicated TPMS Receiver Operation
1. Virgin State (unprogrammed)
^ The receiver as a service part is shipped in this state.
^ In this state there is no sensor monitoring and no DTC monitoring.
^ The state indicates that vehicle-specific parameters must be written to the receiver and that sensors are not programmed.
2. Normal State
^ In order for tire inflation state and DTC monitoring to occur, the receiver must be in this state.
^ In this state, automatic sensor programming is enabled. General conditions for programming new sensors include: assessing whether the sensor is new or not and programming its memory. Typical time to program a new sensor driving at over 15 mph is up to 20 minutes.
3. General Function
^ Automatic programming takes place only once per ignition cycle.
^ On successful completion, all 4 road wheel sensor ID's are programmed into the system's memory for monitoring.
^ Until automatic programming completes previously programmed sensors are monitored for inflation.
^ Receives RF signal from sensor.
^ Uses sensor signals to decide whether to turn on TPMS indicator Lamp.
^ Monitors sensor information distance traveled automatic programming status short circuit output status vehicle battery level and internal receiver states to determine if there are any out-of-specification conditions.
When using the TPMS Exciter, these safety precautions should be followed at all times:
^ Do not drop the TPMS Exciter main body.
^ Always keep the TPMS Exciter covered by the shroud
^ Do not place the TPMS exciter upon distributor of vehicle.
^ Strong electro-magnetic interference can damage TPMS Exciter.
^ A strong surge in the power supply line can damage TPMS Exciter power supply.
