Tire Pressure Gauge Inoperative (DIC Message)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2000 Chevrolet Corvette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- If Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) diagnostic system check has been performed, go to next step. If IPC diagnostic system check has not been performed, see INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER (IPC) DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
- If Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) system diagnostic system check has been performed, go to next step. If TPM system diagnostic system check has not been performed, see TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING (TPM) SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
- Connect scan tool to DLC. Select IPM DATA LIST and observe tire pressure data. Test drive vehicle at speeds greater than 25 MPH (40 km/h) for 20 minutes or until tire pressure data is received. Scan tool will display tire pressure as 148 psi (1020 kPa) until tire pressure data is received. If tire pressure readings are as specified, go to next step. If tire pressure readings are not as specified, go to TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING (TPM) SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
- Observe tire pressure data. Test drive vehicle at speeds greater than 25 MPH (40 km/h) for 20 minutes or until tire pressure data is received. Scan tool will display tire pressure as 148 psi (1020 kPa) until tire pressure data is received. After tire pressure data is received, tire pressure readings will be 0-61 psi (0-427 kPa). If tire pressure readings are as specified, go to next step. If tire pressure readings are not as specified, go to step 6 .
- Compare tire pressure readings on scan tool with readings on DIC. If tire pressure readings between scan tool and DIC are within 5 psi (34 kPa), system is okay at this time. If tire pressure readings between scan tool and DIC are not within 5 psi (34 kPa), go to next step.
- Replace IPC. See INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER (IPC) under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. After repairs, go to next step.
- Turn ignition off and reconnect all disconnected components and connectors. Turn ignition on. Recheck system operation. If symptom still exists, return to step 2 .
