Pinpoint Test

  1. CHECK FOR COMMUNICATION WITH THE TPM MODULE
    1. Using a scan tool, perform network test.

    Does the TPM module pass the network test? 

    • Yes: GO to .
    • No: REFER to DIAGNOSTIC ROUTINE X : The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) Module Does Not Respond To The Scan Tool.
  2. CHECK THE TPM MODULE COMMUNICATION CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
    NOTE: Place the IA key in the backup slot for this pinpoint test.
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Disconnect: TPM Module.
    3. Disconnect: RFA Module C2153E.
    4. Ignition ON.
    5. Measure:
      TPM Module Ground
      G08037601
      G08037602
      C3641 Ground
      Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit
      3 VPL56 (BU/GY)
      G08037603
      - Ground

    Is any voltage present? 

    • Yes: REPAIR the circuit.
    • No: GO to .
  3. CHECK THE TPM MODULE COMMUNICATION CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN OR SHORT TO GROUND
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Measure:
      TPM Module RFA Module
      G08037604
      G08037605
      C3641 C2153E
      Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit
      3 VPL56 (BU/GY)
      G08037606
      1 VPL56 (BU/GY)
    3. Measure:
      TPM Module Ground
      G08037607
      G08037608
      C3641 Ground
      Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit
      3 VPL56 (BU/GY)
      G08037609
      - Ground

    Is the resistance less than 3 ohms between the TPM module and the RFA module; and greater than 10, 000 ohms between the TPM module and ground? 

    • Yes: INSTALL a new TPM module. REFER to TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR (TPM) MODULE . CLEAR the DTCs  . REPEAT the TPM module self-test. If the concern is still present, GO to .
    • No: REPAIR the circuit.
  4. CHECK FOR CORRECT RFA MODULE OPERATION
    1. Disconnect and inspect all the RFA module connectors.
    2. Repair:
      • corrosion (replace connector or terminals - clean module pins)
      • damaged or bent pins - replace terminals/pins
      • pushed-out pins - replace pins as necessary
    3. Connect all the RFA module connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
    4. Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present? 

    • Yes: CHECK OASIS  for any applicable TSBs  . If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no TSBs  address this concern, INSTALL a new RFA module. REFER to REMOTE FUNCTION ACTUATOR (RFA) MODULE .
    • No: The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
