The tire pressure warning valve and transmitters that are installed in the tire and wheel assemblies measure the air pressure of the tires. The measured values are transmitted to the tire pressure warning antenna on the body as radio waves and then sent to the tire pressure warning ECU and receiver. The ECU compares the measured air pressure values with the air pressure threshold. When the measured air pressure value is less than this threshold, the warning light in the combination meter comes on.

The tire pressure warning valve and transmitters constantly send radio waves to the tire pressure warning antenna.

Under the following conditions below, the tire pressure warning antenna is unable to receive the signals from the tire pressure warning valve and transmitters, and a DTC is stored.

HINT: 

When no transmitter ID is received from a tire pressure warning valve and transmitter for a total of 20 minutes while the vehicle speed is more than 8 km/h (5 mph) or no transmitter ID is received from all the tire pressure warning valve and transmitters for a total of 20 minutes, DTCs are stored.

DTCs from C2121/21 to C2124/24 or C2131/31 to C2134/34 can only be cleared by using the Techstream. DTCs from C2181/81 to C2184/84 can be cleared when the transmitter in the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter sends a forced transmission signal or test mode ends. DTCs from C2181/81 to C2184/84 are output only in test mode.

Following condition (a) or (b) is met:
(a) When all conditions below are met:
  • Tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is not in stop mode.
  • Any transmitter ID is not received from tire pressure warning valve and transmitters.
  • For 20 minutes or more, vehicle speed is more than 8 km/h (5 mph) or no vehicle speed signal or engine speed signal is received.

(b) When all conditions below are met:
  • Tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is not in stop mode.
  • No transmitter ID is received from tire pressure warning valve and transmitters for 20 minutes or more.
  • Tire pressure warning valve and transmitter
  • Tire pressure warning antenna
  • Wire harness or connector
  • Tire pressure warning ECU and receiver
C2181/81
C2182/82
C2183/83
C2184/84
Test mode procedure is performed.
  • Tire pressure warning valve and transmitter
  • Tire pressure warning antenna
  • Wire harness or connector
  • Tire pressure warning ECU and receiver
NOTE:

When DTCs C2121/21 to C2124/24 or C2131/31 to C2134/34 are stored in the tire pressure warning ECU, DTC C2173/73 may be stored simultaneously. In such cases, troubleshoot C2173/73 first, then troubleshoot DTCs C2121/21 to C2124/24 or C2131/31 to C2134/34.

HINT: 

It is necessary to perform the procedure to identify the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter that is malfunctioning because it cannot be identified by the output DTC
