Troubleshooting - Dakota Digital BIM-22-3 Manual

Troubleshooting guide:
PROBLEM
BIM-22-3 will not light
BIM-22-3 is not recognized by
control box
BIM-22-3 has steady dot

BIM-22-3 displays
Gauge displays - - at all four
corners at when starting car
One or more sensors reads
on Tire PSI screen after
extended period of driving
time even though tire does
have pressure.
Gauge repeatedly displays
then on all 4 Tire
PSI locations.
BIM repeatedly displays

Gauge displays
"FILL LOW TIRES" during
locate procedure
Audio alarm (HDX/RTX only)
is not heard during:
Gauge LOCATE procedure
or
BIM Learn procedure
or
BIM Locate procedure
Tire pressure values do not
agree with the location
indicated on the instrument's
TIRE PSI screen.
Valve stem is damaged but
sensor is OK.
POSSIBLE CAUSE(S)
BIM cable not connected
Bad data connection in BIM cable
Channel conflict with another BIM
Sensors have not woken up
TPMS Receiver Module is not receiving
from the TPMS sensors
Sensor needs to be "learned"
If a sensor functioned previously but now
it never wakes up, it is possible its
battery has depleted.
This error is a result of the TPMS
Receiver Module not being detected by
the BIM-22-3 on power up.
TPMS Receiver Module is not connected
to the BIM.
TPMS Receiver Module is damaged.
This error message occurs when the
BIM-22-3 does not receive vehicle speed
from a control box or a BIM-01-2.
If this is displayed when the control box
gauge is not in the SETUP menu, the
BIM to control box interface harness is
not connected or it is loose or faulty.
One or more TPMS sensors need to be
woken up.
One or more tires do not have more than
20 PSI in them.
Alarm is not connected to the gauge
cluster.
Gauge cluster is in SETUP menu.
Sensors were installed in wrong location.
Locate procedure was not followed after
a tire rotation.
Valve stem damaged during installation
or during operation.

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS(S)
Connect BIM cable
Reseat BIM cable, check continuity on green wires

Correct conflict – see
on page 9
Drive vehicle until sensors wake up and tire pressure is displayed.
Change the associated tire's pressure by inflating or deflating with a
pressure change of more than 2 PSI.
Try moving the TPMS Receiver Module to a location outside the
vehicle to see if it receives from the TPMS sensors.
If a sensor needs to be "learned", follow
Mode in the section Special Operating Modes to relearn the
sensor(s).
-
Follow Display Battery Status Mode in the section Special
Operating Modes to determine the sensor's battery status.
If sensor is still not detected, order replacement sensor(s) (see
instructions).
Connect Input on BIM to TPMS Receiver Module (see wiring
diagram).
Inspect and reconnect wires and power up again.
Return TPMS Receiver Module for service. (See instructions).
Note that this BIM display message will occur on VHX, VFD3, and
VFD3X systems during the locate procedure because those systems
do not send the vehicle speed while in the SETUP menu. This is
normal and no solution is necessary.
Inspect and reconnect interface harness.
Replace BIM harness, 394191
Inflate all tires with a 2 PSI change in pressure to wake up all
sensors.
Inflate all tires until all of them contain more than 20 PSI.
Ensure alarm harness is connected to gauge cluster.
Exit the SETUP menu.
Follow the gauge system's locate procedure or the BIM locate
procedure.
Rubber valve stems are universal, find a replacement that will accept
any TPMS type sensor, and transfer our TPMS sensor.
