Symptom Troubleshooting

Low tire pressure indicator does not come
on, and no DTCs are stored
NOTE: Check for gauge DTCs with the HDS (see page
22-3). If gauge DTCs are stored, troubleshoot those
DTCs first.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Check the low tire pressure indicator for several
seconds when the ignition switch is turned to
ON (II).
Did the indicator come on and then go of f ?
−
YES Go to step 3.
NO − Do the troubleshooting for the gauge control
module (see page 22-312). If necessary, substitute a
known-good gauge control module (see page
22-332), and recheck.
3. Test-drive the vehicle at 28 mph (45 km/h) or more
for at least 1 minute.
4. Stop the vehicle, and lower the pressure in each
tire until the low tire pressure indicator comes on
(see table).
NOTE:
• Reinflate the tire before continuing to the next
tire.
• After noting whether the low tire pressure
indicator came on, make sure it goes off when
you reinflate the tire before proceeding to the
next tire.
• If 5 minutes has passed since finishing the last
test-drive, reactivate the appropriate tire
pressure sensor using the TPMS sensor initializer
tool (see page 18-61).
Model
16 inch wheels
17 inch or
larger wheels
Does the indicator come on when the pressure
drops below the specif ied tire pressure lower
limit?
−
YES The system is OK at this time.
NO − Go to step 5.
Specified Tire Pressure Lower
Limit
168 kPa (1.7 kgf/cm , 24 psi) 2
2
175 kPa (1.8 kgf/cm , 25 psi)
5. Do the tire pressure sensor location procedure to
determine the affected tire location and relate it to
the tire pressure sensor number (see page 18-61).
Did each tire pressure sensor respond to the
T PMS initializer tool?
YES − Go to step 6.
−
NO Check that the tire pressure sensor is properly
mounted. If necessary, replace the appropriate tire
pressure sensor (see page 18-86).
6. Check the TIRE 1, TIRE 2, TIRE 3, or TIRE 4 AIR
PRESSURE in the TPMS DATA LIST with the HDS,
and compare with the actual measured tire
pressure.
Is the indicated tire pressure on the HDS within
2
40 kPa ( 0.4 kgf / cm , 6 psi) of the actual tire
pressure?
YES − Go to step 7.
NO − Replace the appropriate tire pressure sensor
(see page 18-86).
7. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
