Circuit/System Verification
NOTE:
Low tire pressure in one or more tires is indicated by a continuously illuminated tire pressure monitor indicator icon after the IPC bulb check is completed. If equipped with a DIC, a check tire pressure type message will also be displayed. It is not necessary to perform the Learn procedure for a low tire condition.
When a TPM DTC is set, the tire pressure monitor indicator icon will flash for 1 minute after the IPC bulb check is completed and then remains illuminated. If equipped with a DIC, a service tire monitor type message will also be displayed.

- Verify all tires are inflated to the proper pressure ±10%. Refer to Vehicle Certification, Tire Placard, Anti-Theft, and Service Parts ID Label
.
- If not within the specified range, adjust all tire pressures to specification and drive the vehicle over 40 km/h (25 mph) for greater than 2 minutes. Verify the tire pressure monitor indicator icon is OFF.
- Using the J-46079
, activate each tire pressure sensor and record each sensor tire pressure reading. Check the tire pressures with a known accurate hand held tire pressure gauge. Verify that the pressure readings from the special tool do not differ more than 27.6 kPa (4 psi) from the actual tire pressure readings. See Special Tools .
- If not within the specified range, replace the appropriate tire pressure sensor.
- Using a scan tool, enable the TPM learn mode. Use the J-46079
in simulate mode to learn 4 simulated sensor transmissions into the BCM. Observe tire pressures in the scan tool data display. Verify the simulated tire pressures do not differ more than +/-27.6 kPa (4 psi) of the scan tool reading. See Special Tools .
- If not within the specified range, replace the BCM.
- Using a scan tool, perform the instrument panel special functions Lamp Test. Command the instrument panel warning lamps ON and OFF. Verify the tire pressure monitor indicator icon turns ON and OFF.
- If the tire pressure monitor icon does not turn ON and OFF, replace the IPC.
- Ignition ON, use the scan tool to setup the Tire Type/Pressure Selection in the BCM Module Setup menu. Refer to the Vehicle Certification, Tire Placard, Anti-Theft, and Service Parts ID Label
. Drive the vehicle over 40 km/h (25 mph) for greater than 2 minutes. Verify the tire pressure monitor indicator icon is OFF.
- If the tire pressure monitor indicator icon is ON, replace the BCM.
