      (to Tire Pressure Warning ECU and Receiver)

      Disconnect the R42 tire pressure warning ECU and receiver connector and measure the voltage or resistance on the wire harness side.

      Terminal No. (Symbol) Wiring Color Terminal Description Condition Specified Condition
      R42-1 (IG) - R42-12 (GND) LG - W-B IG power source Power switch on (IG) 10 to 16 V
      R42-7 (+B) - R42-12 (GND) B - W-B Power supply (from auxiliary battery) Always 10 to 16 V
      R42-12 (GND) - Body ground W-B - Body ground Ground Always Below 1 Ω
    2. Connect the R42 tire pressure warning ECU and receiver connector.

    3. Measure the voltage and resistance according to the value(s) in the table below. If the result is not as specified, the ECU may be malfunctioning.

      Tech Tips

      Inspect the connectors from the back side while the connectors are connected.

      Tech Tips

      The waveform shown in the illustration is an example. If the tester displays a waveform that alternates between high and low, where high is a voltage that is between the IG power source voltage and a voltage 2.2 V lower than the IG power source voltage, and where low is a voltage of between 0 and 1.2 V, the ECU can be judged normal.
