Recall - Tire Pressure Monitor System Non-Compliance
NUMBER J013(ISSUE 1)
MODEL XK
DATE 16 JUNE 2009
SECTION: 204
Compliance RECALL: Tire Pressure Monitoring System Failure to Display Warnings
AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:
XK (X150) with Run Flat Tires only VIN: B00044 - B32020
Model Year: 2007 - 2009
CONDITION SUMMARY:
Situation:
The requirement of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 138 - Tire Pressure Monitoring System is that under certain conditions where the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) senses a pressure change of 25% below the manufacturer's recommended cold inflation pressures a warning telltale must be illuminated. On vehicles within the above VIN range fitted with run flat tires, even though the pressure monitoring is being completed, this warning will not be displayed. The Car Configuration File (CCF) installed in vehicles with run flat tires was incorrectly set such that the TPMS warnings were turned off. Should the TPMS Electronic Control Unit send a signal to display a TPMS warning telltale, the instrument cluster would not illuminate the warning telltale nor present the supplementary warning text on the instrument cluster message center. Failure to warn of tire deflation is a non-compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 138.
Action:
Dealers are required to update the affected vehicles within their control and withhold them from retail delivery pending completion of the rework action. Refer to the Repair Procedure outlined below to update the Car Configuration File. Once the CCF update is completed, the vehicle may be released for sale or returned to the customer.
PARTS:
No parts necessary; information only
TOOLS:
Latest IDS DVD; software first available on IDS DVD118 Patch File 1 Midtronics PSC-550 Vehicle Power Supply
