TIRE PRESSURE WARNING SYSTEM HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING

Tech Tips


  • Use the following procedure to troubleshoot the tire pressure warning system.

  • Make sure that the wireless door lock control system has exited diagnostic mode before performing the following procedure.

  • *: Use the GTS.

  2. CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS


    1. Interview the customer to confirm the problem.

      Tech Tips

      It is important to collect as much specific information as possible from the customer to allow for a quick repair.

  3. ADJUST TIRE PRESSURE*


    1. Turn the engine switch off.

    2. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    3. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

    4. Enter the following menus: Chassis / Tire Pressure Monitor / Data List.

    5. Set the tire pressure to the specified value Click here.

      Note

      Refer to the link as the procedure for adjusting the tire pressures differs depending on the temperature of the tires.

    6. Display "ID Tire Inflation Pressure" in the Data List and check that the tire pressure values match the adjusted pressure amount.

      Tech Tips

      It may take a few minutes until the values are displayed.

    7. Perform initialization Click here.

      Tech Tips


      • The warning threshold value changes depending on the driving conditions during initialization. As a result, the tire pressure warning light may not turn off even if the tire pressure is adjusted to the specified pressure.

      • The tire pressure warning system illuminates the tire pressure warning light to warn the driver when any of the following conditions are met:


        • Due to the operation of the tire pressure warning reset switch, the tire pressure drops to approximately 80% or less of the tire pressure set during system initialization.

        • The tire pressure drastically decreases (approximately 20 kPa (0.2 kgf/cm2, 2.9 psi) or more within several minutes) to approximately 80% or less of the tire pressure* when the tires are warmed.

          *: If initialization is performed and the vehicle is driven for a certain period of time, the tire pressure set during system initialization is adjusted and set to the tire pressure when the tires are warmed from the driving conditions.

          Note

          If the tire pressure is decreased approximately 20 kPa (0.2 kgf/cm2, 2.9 psi) or more in order to adjust the tire pressure, even if the adjusted tire pressure is 80% or more than the tire pressure set during system initialization, the tire pressure warning light may illuminate if the tire pressure drops below 80% of the tire pressure set when the tires are warmed. In this case, perform initialization again.
