Diagnostic Test

TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM CHECK
NOTE:
The purpose of this test is to determine if there is a TPM sensor, EMC, RF Hub, or an external antenna issue. Once the issue has been identified, there is a drive verification test which utilizes the TPM display screen in the instrument panel for verification.
1. Confirm the following before proceeding with this diagnostic test.
  - Perform any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply to this system.
  - Turn off, disconnect or disable (without damaging) any added electronic devices (not part of the original equipment) as they can interfere with RF TPM reception in the RF Hub.
  - Diagnose and repair any DTCs related to ABS speed signal, TPM mechanical failure, or non TPM related RF Hub DTCs (i.e. Remote Start Antenna open or short) before continuing with this procedure and then perform the TPM Sensor Verification test. Refer to TPM SENSOR VERIFICATION TEST .
  - Verify the tire pressures are correct.
  - Verify the TPM - RKE Analyzer Tool is the most recent version available before proceeding. Do not assume that the Tool is at the most current version available. Use of a TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool with an outdated version will lead to incorrect diagnosis and part(s) replacement.

  - Contact the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool help desk for assistance with any repair or up dating concerns to the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool.
  Were the TPM system checks and TPM-RKE Analyzer tool version confirmed?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 2
  No
  - Complete all the TPM system checks listed and verify the TPM-RKE Analyzer tool version.
CHECK FOR NO SIGNAL DTCS IN THE RF HUB
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. With the scan Tool, read and record all 4 Sensor IDs from the RF Hub memory, noting which ones have an active or stored multiple occurrence DTC.
  NOTE:
  Do not record or reference the exact wheel positions, as they may be incorrect in the RF HUB.
3. Did any of the sensors have an active or multiple stored DTC?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 3
  No
  - Perform the TESTING FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION procedure. Refer to TESTING FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
VISUALLY INSPECT THEN READ ALL TPM SENSORS WITH THE TPM-RKE ANALYZER TOOL
NOTE:
This 'no signal' fault will set if the incorrect TPM Sensor or no TPM Sensor is installed on the vehicle. There should be no metal valve stems or valve stem caps on the rims.
1. Perform a visual inspection on each tire to verify that all road wheels are equipped with the correct TPM Sensors.
2. Install the correct Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Sensor(s) as needed from the visual inspection, in accordance with the Service Information, but do not perform the TPM Verification Test at this time. Refer to SENSOR, TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING (TPM), REMOVAL .
3. With the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool at the most recent version, select the specific vehicle line and model year.
  (special tool #2046300080, Kit, TPM/RKE ANALYZER)
  
  NOTE:
  If the incorrect vehicle line or model year are selected the TPM sensor may not respond to the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool.
4. With the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool read all of the TPM Sensors on the vehicle and record their IDs and positions.
  NOTE:
  The purpose of the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool is to determine a non responsive or missing sensor, and to identify the location of the sensor by the ID associated to the DTC.
  
  NOTE:
  There is a remote possibility the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool can read a TPM Sensor from a different vehicle, instead of the vehicle being tested. If a sensor ID read by the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool does not match any of the IDs in the RF Hub recorded earlier, relocate vehicles to a proximity that is greater than 10 feet and repeat reading.
  
  Did all or at least one TPM sensor respond and match an ID stored in the RF Hub?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 5
  No
  - Go To 4
TPM-RKE ANALYZER TOOL ASSISTANCE
1. With the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool attempt to read a new TPM Sensor (one not installed) from stock or a known good vehicle of the same year and model.
  NOTE:
  The ID read by the Tool must agree with the ID written on the side of the sensor housing.
  
  Does the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool read the new TPM Sensor from stock or the known good vehicle with the same year and model?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 5
  No
  - There is an issue with the TPM-RKE tool.
  - Contact the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool help desk for assistance with any repair or updating concerns to the TPM-RKE Analyzer Tool.
CHECK FOR A NON MATCHING ID
Did any sensor ID read with the TPM-RKE analyzer tool not match an ID in the RF Hub?

Yes
- Program the IDs at their actual positions as read by the TPM-RKE Analyzer tool into the RF Hub.
- Perform the TPM SENSOR VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to TPM SENSOR VERIFICATION TEST .
- Go To 2
No
