Pinpoint Test R : The TPM Module Does Not Respond To The Scan Tool

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Lincoln MKT. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Failure to disconnect the battery when instructed results in false resistance readings. Refer to Battery, Mounting and Cables .

  1. R1 CHECK THE TPM MODULE VOLTAGE SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

    • Ignition OFF.

    • Disconnect: TPM Module C9047 .

    • Ignition ON.

    • Measure the voltage  between:
      Positive Lead Negative Lead
      Pin Circuit Pin Circuit
      C9047-4 SBP09 (RD) - Ground

    Is the voltage greater than 11 volts? 

    Yes  GO to  R2.
    No  VERIFY the Body Control Module (BCM) fuse 9 (10A) is OK. If OK, REPAIR the circuit. If not OK, REFER to the OEM ELECTRICAL WIRING DIAGRAM INTRODUCTION to identify the possible causes of the circuit short.
  2. R2 CHECK THE TPM MODULE GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

    • Ignition OFF.

    • Disconnect: Negative Battery Cable.

    • Measure the resistance  between:
      Positive Lead Negative Lead
      Pin Circuit Pin Circuit
      C9047-6 GD233 (BK) - Ground

    Is the resistance less than 3 ohms? 

    Yes  GO to  R3.
    No  REPAIR the circuit.
  3. R3 CHECK THE MS-CAN CIRCUITS BETWEEN THE TPM MODULE AND THE DLC FOR AN OPEN

    • Measure the resistance  between:
      Positive Lead Negative Lead
      Pin Circuit Pin Circuit
      C9047-1 VDB06 (GY/OG) C251-3 VDB06 (GY/OG)
      C9047-2 VDB07 (VT/OG) C251-11 VDB07 (VT/OG)

    1. GFD232160Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY

    Are the resistances less than 3 ohms? 

    Yes  GO to  R4.
    No  REPAIR the circuit in question.
  4. R4 CHECK FOR CORRECT TPM MODULE OPERATION

    • Disconnect the TPM module connector.

    • Repair:

      • corrosion (replace connector or terminals - clean module pins)

      • damaged or bent pins - replace terminals/pins

      • pushed-out pins - replace pins as necessary

    • Connect the TPM module connector and make sure it seats correctly.

    • Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present? 

    Yes  CHECK OASIS for any applicable TSBs. If a TSB exists for this concern, discontinue this test and follow TSB instructions. If no TSBs address this concern, INSTALL a new TPM module. REFER to Wheels and Tires .
    No  The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
