TIRE PRESSURE WARNING SYSTEM TEST MODE PROCEDURE


  1. TEST MODE (SIGNAL CHECK MODE) PROCEDURE

    Tech Tips


    • When entering test mode (signal check mode), the tire pressure warning ECU and receiver sets all the test mode (signal check mode) DTCs first.

      After the tire pressure warning ECU and receiver completes the signal check for each inspection item, the DTCs for systems that are determined to be normal will be cleared.

      The DTCs for other inspection items may not be cleared when only a certain signal is inspected.

    • When test mode (signal check mode) returns to normal mode, all the test mode (signal check mode) DTCs will be cleared.

    • w/ Tire Inflation Pressure Display Function:

      Operation of the tire pressure warning reset switch can be checked in test mode (signal check mode).

    • w/ Tire Inflation Pressure Display Function:

      During test mode (signal check mode), the system will not be initialized by pushing the tire pressure warning reset switch. The circuit of the tire pressure warning reset switch can be inspected during this mode.


    1. Turn the power switch off.

    2. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

    3. Turn the power switch on (IG) and the Techstream on.

    4. Enter the following menus: Chassis / Tire Pressure Monitor / Utility / Signal Check.

      Tech Tips

      Every time the test mode (signal check mode) DTC clear conditions are satisfied, the tire pressure warning light illuminated for 1 second. Following this, the tire pressure warning light blinks at 0.125 second intervals.

    5. w/ Tire Inflation Pressure Display Function:

      Press the tire pressure warning reset switch (DTC C2198/98).

    6. Wait for 1.5 minutes with the vehicle stopped, or drive the vehicle for 1 minute (C2181/81 to C2184/84).

      Tech Tips

      The tire pressure warning valve and transmitters send signals to the tire pressure warning ECU and receiver once every 1.5 minutes while the vehicle is stopped and once every minute while driving.

    7. Check that the tire pressure warning system test mode (signal check mode) DTCs are cleared.

      Tech Tips

      After the signal check is completed, check for test mode (signal check mode) DTCs to confirm the system status.

      Condition Procedure
      Test mode (signal check mode) DTC is output Repair the faulty part and enter Signal Check again
      Test mode (signal check mode) DTCs are cleared No problem
    9. End of test mode (signal check mode)


      1. After completing the test mode (signal check mode), turn the power switch off and disconnect the Techstream.

    10. Test mode (signal check mode) DTCs


      1. If a trouble code is displayed during the test mode (signal check mode) DTC check, check the diagnosis procedure listed for that code. For details of each code, refer to See page below.
