Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 GMC Sierra and 2007 Chevrolet Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Using the J-46079
, activate each tire pressure sensor and record each sensors transmission data and physical location. Verify J-46079
displays the 8-digit ID number, accurate tire pressure +/- 13.8 kPa (2 psi), Learn Mode, and at least a 1/4 graph signal strength displayed.
- If any of the parameters listed above are not displayed, replace the suspect tire pressure sensor.
- With the scan tool, verify tire pressure sensors ID and locations displayed on the scan tool match the IDs and locations recorded from the special tool.
- If the IDs and locations do not match, perform the Tire Pressure Sensor Learn .
- Enable the TPM learn mode. Use the TPM special tool in simulate mode to learn 4 simulated sensor transmissions into the RCDLR. Verify all 4 sensor locations, IDs, and that the tire pressures are within+/- 6.9 kPa (1 psi) as they are displayed on the TPM special tool match what the scan tool displays.
- If the scan tool does not match, replace the RCDLR.
- Test drive the vehicle above 32 km/h (20 mph) for greater than 2 minutes. With the scan tool, observe the suspect Pressure Sensor Mode data parameter. Verify sensor mode changes from Wake to Drive.
- If the suspect Pressure Sensor Mode does not change, replace the suspect tire pressure sensor.
