DTC 21,22,23,24: TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR ABNORMALLY HIGH TEMPERATURE

1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.

2. Make sure the tires have cooled down.

3. Test-drive the vehicle at 28 mph (45 km/h) or more for at least 1 minute.

Does the TPMS indicator go off?

YES -The system is OK at this time. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

NO -Go to step 4.

4. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

5. Note the tire pressure sensor(s) number by the indicated DTC.

DTC CHART

NOTE:

An abnormal rise in the internal temperature of the tires can be caused by



Excessive braking



Failure to release the parking brake (rear tires only)



Leaving the vehicle running while parked



Improper assembly of a wheel and tire

6. Determine the affected tire location by the tire pressure sensor number (see TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR

LOCATION ).

7. Check the Tire 1, Tire 2, Tire 3, or Tire 4 Air Temperature in the TPMS DATA LIST with the HDS.

Is 176°F (80°C) or more indicated?

YES -Replace the appropriate tire pressure sensor (see TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR
REPLACEMENT ).

NO -Go to step 8.

8. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

9. Test-drive the vehicle at 28 mph (45 km/h) or more for at least 1 minute.

10. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

Is DTC 21,22,23, or 24 indicated?

YES -Check for loose terminals and poor connections at the TPMS control unit. If necessary, substitute a
known-good TPMS control unit (see TPMS CONTROL UNIT REPLACEMENT ), and recheck.

NO -If any other DTCs are indicated, troubleshoot the appropriate DTC. If no DTC are indicated, the
system is OK at this time.

DTC 31,33,35,37: TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR LOW BATTERY VOLTAGE

1. Test-drive the vehicle at 28 mph (45 km/h) or more for at least 1 minute.

Does the TPMS indicator go off?

YES -The system is OK at this time. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

NO -Go to step 2.

2. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

3. Note the tire pressure sensor(s) number by the indicated DTC.

DTC CHART

NOTE:

This problem occurs when the temperature around the sensor is -40°F (-40°C) or
less. Note that the diagnosis must be made in a place where ambient
temperature is -40°F (-40°C) or more.

4. Determine the affected tire location by the tire pressure sensor number (see TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR

LOCATION ).

Did each tire pressure sensor respond to the TPMS initializer tool?

YES -Go to step 5.

NO -Check that the tire pressure sensor is properly mounted. If necessary, replace the appropriate tire
pressure sensor (see TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR REPLACEMENT ).

5. Check the Tire 1, Tire 2, Tire 3, or Tire 4 Pressure Sensor Transmitter Battery in the TPMS DATA LIST

with the HDS.

Is LOW indicated?

YES -Replace the appropriate tire pressure sensor (see TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR
REPLACEMENT ).

NO -Check for loose terminals and poor connections at the TPMS control unit. If necessary, substitute a
known-good TPMS control unit (see TPMS CONTROL UNIT REPLACEMENT ), and recheck.

DTC 32,34,36,38: TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR TRANSMISSION FAILURE

1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

2. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

3. Note the tire pressure sensor(s) number by the indicated DTC.

YES -Go to step 8.

NO -Go to step 6.

6. Install a known-good TPMS wheel.

7. Memorize the tire pressure sensor ID with the HDS (see MEMORIZING THE TIRE PRESSURE

SENSOR ID ).

Did the TPMS control unit memorize the tire pressure sensors?

YES -Replace the original tire pressure sensor (see TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR REPLACEMENT ).

NO -Go to step 9.

8. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

9. Determine the affected tire location by the tire pressure sensor number (see TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR

LOCATION ).

Did each tire sensor respond to the TPMS initializer tool?

YES -Go to step 10.

NO -Check for an aftermarket electrical device interfering with the RF signals from the sensors. If there
are no electrical devices causing interference, replace the appropriate tire pressure sensor (see TIRE
PRESSURE SENSOR REPLACEMENT ).

10. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and wait 5 minutes.

11. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

12. Identify the affected tire sensor number from the DTC list on step 3.

13. Locate the affected tire pressure sensor on the DATA LIST with the HDS.

Is the default pressure of 145 psi displayed?

YES -Go to step 14.

NO -Repeat steps 10 through 13 until the default pressure (145 psi) is displayed. If the default pressure is
never displayed, replace the TPMS control unit (see TPMS CONTROL UNIT REPLACEMENT ).

14. Drive the vehicle over 28 mph (45 km/h), and monitor the affected tire pressure sensor with the HDS.

Did the affected tire pressure sensor change from the default pressure (145 psi) to the correct tire
pressure?

YES -The system is OK at this time. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
