TPMS indicator does not go off, and no DTCs are stored

NOTE:
  • Check for gauge DTCs with the HDS (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION ) If the multiple DTCs are present, including B1178, troubleshoot those DTCs first If only DTC B1178 is present, continue with the following troubleshooting
  • If the TPMS control unit was replaced, the TPMS indicator will be on until all four sensor ID codes are learned
  1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0)
  2. Check the No 29 (10 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box

    Is the fuse blown? 

    YES  -Replace the No 29 (10 A) fuse, and recheck If the fuse blows again, check for a short to body ground in the wire between the TPMS control unit and the No 29 (10 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box

    NO  -Reinstall the fuse, then go to step 3

  3. Check the No 5(7 5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box

    Is the fuse blown? 

    YES  -Replace the No 5(7 5 A) fuse, and recheck If the fuse blows again, check for a short to body ground in the wire between the TPMS control unit and the No 5 (7 5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box

    NO  -Reinstall the fuse, then go to step 4

  4. Disconnect the TPMS control unit 20P connector
  5. Measure voltage between body ground and TPMS control unit 20P connector terminal No 10

  8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0)
  9. Reconnect the TPMS control unit 20P connector
  10. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II)
  11. Measure voltage between body ground and TPMS control unit 20P connector terminal No 4

    Is there 0 1 V or more? 

    YES  -Repair open or high resistance in the wire between the TPMS control unit and body ground (G503)

    NO  -Do the troubleshooting for the gauge control module (see SELF-DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION ) If the gauge control module is OK, check for loose terminals and poor connections at the TPMS control unit If necessary, substitute a known-good TPMS control (see TPMS CONTROL UNIT REPLACEMENT ), and recheck
