    A: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (FRONT/REAR TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR INITIATOR - TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR INITIATOR DRIVER) 
    1. Turn the power switch off.
    2. When DTC C2151/51 is output:
      1. Disconnect the A56 front tire pressure monitor initiator connector.
    3. When DTC C2152/52 is output:
      1. Disconnect the P23 rear tire pressure monitor initiator connector.
    4. Disconnect the H79 tire pressure monitor initiator driver connector.
    5. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      WHEN DTC C2151/51 IS OUTPUT:

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A56-1 (F IN) - H79-1 (FR+) Always Below 1 Ω
      A56-1 (F IN) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      A56-2 (F OT) - H79-2 (FR-) Always Below 1 Ω
      A56-2 (F OT) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      WHEN DTC C2152/52 IS OUTPUT:

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      P23-1 (R IN) - H79-3 (RR+) Always Below 1 Ω
      P23-1 (R IN) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      P23-2 (R OT) - H79-4 (RR-) Always Below 1 Ω
      P23-2 (R OT) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK → See step   5 

  3. REPLACE FRONT TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR INITIATOR. Refer to  REMOVAL [08/2013 - ] 
  4. REPLACE REAR TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR INITIATOR. Refer to  REMOVAL [08/2013 - ] 
  5. REPLACE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR INITIATOR DRIVER. Refer to  REMOVAL [08/2013 - ]
