Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Dodge Durango. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC 
    NOTE:

    Before beginning the diagnostic procedure, check for and remove any non-FCC compliant components before beginning this diagnostic procedure. Verify that the tire pressures are correct, the 9936 TPM-RKE analyzer is up to date and the correct application has been chosen on the tool.

    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. With the scan tool, read and record the RF-Hub Module DTCs.
    3. With the scan tool, erase stored RF-Hub Module DTCs.
    4. Drive the vehicle at speeds greater than 20 km/h (12.5 mph) for 10 minutes.
    5. With the scan tool, read RF Hub DTCs.

      Is the DTC active?

      Yes 

      • Go To  2

      No 

      • Go To  4
  2. CHECK FOR TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING (TPM) WINTER MODE 
    NOTE:

    Repair all other RF -Hub Module DTCs before continuing with this test procedure.

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Turn the ignition from off to on.
    3. Check for the following conditions:
      • The telltale lamp is off.
      • The tire pressure values in the Instrument Cluster are displayed as dashes.
      • The message center is not  displaying "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM".

      Are all of the above conditions correct?

      Yes 

      • The Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Module is now in deactivation mode (Winter Mode). This DTC will remain active until the correct tire and wheel assemblies are installed back on the vehicle. Once one of the correct tire and wheel assemblies are reinstalled, the other three must also be reinstalled prior to turning the ignition on.

      No 

      • Go To  3
  3. CHECK FOR CORRECT TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING (TPM) SENSORS 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Verify the correct TPM Sensors are installed in all of the tire and wheel assemblies.

      Are the correct TPM Sensors installed?

      Yes 

      No 

  4. CHECK FOR TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING (TPM) SENSOR DTCS 
    1. The conditions necessary to set this DTC are not present at this time.
    2. Perform any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply to this condition.
    3. With the scan tool, clear DTCs in the Radio Frequency Hub (RF-Hub) Module.
    4. Test drive the vehicle for a minimum of 10 minutes with vehicle speed greater than 32 km/h (20 mph).
    5. With the scan tool, read RF Hub DTCs in the Radio Frequency Hub (RF-Hub) Module.

      Does the DTC reset or is the status Active for this DTC?

      Yes 

      • With the scan tool, read RF-Hub DTCs. If any displayed, perform the appropriate diagnostic procedure. If there are none, repeat this test. A bad RF-Hub will have other DTCs set.
      • Perform the TPM SENSOR VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .

      No 

      • The condition or conditions that originally set this DTC are not present at this time. Using the wiring diagrams as a guide, check all related splices and connectors for signs of water intrusion, corrosion, pushed out or bent terminals, and correct pin tension and repair as necessary. If no problems are found, test complete.
      • Perform the TPM SENSOR VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
