Inspection Procedure

NOTE:
  • When replacing the tire pressure warning ECU, read the IDs stored in the ECU using the intelligent tester and write them down before removal.
  • It is necessary to perform initialization (See INITIALIZATION  ) after registration (See REGISTRATION  ) of the transmitter IDs into the tire pressure warning ECU after the ECU and/or valve and transmitter have been replaced.
  1. CHECK FREQUENCY RECEIVING CONDITION 
    1. Check if the vehicle is not located in areas such as described below:
      1. Facilities or devices that use similar radio frequencies are located in the vicinity of the vehicle.

        HINT:

        If the vehicle is located in areas described above, the tire pressure warning light may come on only in a particular area.

      2. Devices using similar radio frequencies are used in the vehicle.

        OK: 

        Facilities, or devices that use similar radio frequencies are not located in the vicinity of the vehicle. 

        HINT:

        Radio frequency may be interrupted due to surroundings or devices installed by the user.

    NG: CHECK IF ANY DEVICE IS INSTALLED BY USER 

    OK: GO TO NEXT STEP 

  2. IDENTIFY TRANSMITTER CORRESPONDING TO DTC 
    1. Set the tire pressure to the appropriate specified values.

      Cold tire inflation pressure 

      COLD TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE

      Tire size Front kPa (kgf/cm2 , psi) Rear kPa (kgf/cm2 , psi)
      215/45ZR17 220 (2.2, 32) 200 (2.0, 29)
      P205/55R16 220 (2.2, 32) 200 (2.0, 29)
    2. Make sure that the ignition switch is off.
    3. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
    4. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
    5. Select "TIREPRESS" by following the prompts displayed on the intelligent tester.

    6. Rapidly reduce the tire pressure for each wheel at least 40 kPa (0.41 kg/cm2 , 5.8 psi) within 30 seconds.
    7. Check the DATA LIST.
      NOTE:
      • It takes about 2 or 3 minute to display the updated tire pressure data.
      • When "TIREPRESS" data has not changed, reset the tire pressure to the appropriate specified value and rotate the tire 90 to 270 degrees. Then rapidly release the tire pressure and recheck it.
      • Record the transmitter ID of which "TIREPRESS" data corresponds to each tire.
    8. After confirming that one of the "TIREPRESS" data for one tire (ID1 to ID4) has changed, repeat this procedure one by one. Identify the transmitter that corresponds to the DTC.
