DTC C2121/21 No Signal from Transmitter ID1 in Main Mode; DTC C2122/22 No Signal from Transmitter ID2 in Main Mode; DTC C2123/23 No Signal from Transmitter ID3 in Main Mode; DTC C2124/24 No Signal from Transmitter ID4 in Main Mode; DTC C2181/81 Transmitter ID1 not Received (Test Mode DTC); DTC C2182/82 Transmitter ID2 not Received (Test Mode DTC); DTC C2183/83 Transmitter ID3 not Received (Test Mode DTC); DTC C2184/84 Transmitter ID4 not Received (Test Mode DTC): Description

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 and receiver on the body as radio waves and then sent to the tire pressure warning ECU. 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 and receiver.

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

HINT:

When no signals are received for 51 minutes or more, a DTC is output.

DTCs from C2121/21 to C2124/24 can only be cleared by using the tester. 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.

DTC DETECTION CONDITION AND TROUBLE AREA

DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
C2121/21
C2122/22
C2123/23
C2124/24
These DTCs are detected when no signals are received for 51 minutes or more.
  • Tire pressure warning valve and transmitter
  • Tire pressure warning antenna and receiver
  • Wire harness or connector
  • Tire pressure warning ECU
C2181/81
C2182/82
C2183/83
C2184/84
Malfunctions in the transmitting/receiving circuit
  • Tire pressure warning valve and transmitter
  • Tire pressure warning antenna and receiver
  • Wire harness or connector
  • Tire pressure warning ECU

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.
