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

NOTE:
  • Check for gauge DTCs with the HDS (see WIRE COLOR CODES ) 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), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode
  2. Check the No 29 (7.5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box

    Is the fuse blown? 

    YES  -Go to step 3

    NO  -Reinstall the checked fuse, then go to step  8

  3. Disconnect the TPMS control unit 20P connector
  4. With the No 29 (7.5 A) fuse removed, check for continuity between body ground and the TPMS control unit 20P connector terminal No 10

    Is there continuity? 

    YES  -Repair short to body ground in the wire between the No 29 (7.5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box and the TPMS control unit

    NO  -Install a new No 29 (7.5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box, then go to step 5.

  5. Reconnect the TPMS control unit 20P connector
  6. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.
  7. Check the TPMS indicator when the ignition switch to ON (II), or the engine start/stop button is pressed to select the ON mode.

    Did the idicator Come on? 

    YES  -Check for loose terminals and poor connections at the TPMS control unit If necessary, substitute a known-good TPMS control unit (see TPMS CONTROL UNIT REPLACEMENT ), and recheck.

    NO  -Troubleshooting is complete.

  8. Check the No 12 (7.5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box

    Is the fuse blown? 

    YES  -Replace the fuse. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II) and then back to LOCK (0), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode and then the OFF mode. If the fuse blows again, repair the short to ground on the No. 12 (7.5 A) fuse circuit

    NO  -Reinstall the checked fuse, then go to step 9.

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

    Is there battery voltage? 

    YES  -Go to step 11

    NO  -Repair open in the wire between the TPMS control unit and the No 29 (7.5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box

  11. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode
  12. Measure the voltage between body ground and TPMS control unit 20P connector terminal No 8

    Is there battery voltage? 

    YES  -Go to step 13

    NO  -Repair open in the wire between the TPMS control unit and the No 12 (7.5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box

  13. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.
  14. Reconnect the TPMS control unit 20P connector.
  15. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.
  16. Measure the voltage between body ground and TPMS control unit 20P connector terminal No. 3.

    Is there 0.1 V or more? 

    YES  -Repair an open or high resistance in the wire between the TPMS control unit and body ground (G403).

    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
