Circuit/System Description
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.
The tire pressure monitor (TPM) system has a radio frequency (RF) transmitting pressure sensor in each wheel/tire assembly. As vehicle speed increases, centrifugal force closes the sensors internal roll switch, which puts the sensor into drive mode. The remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR) receives and translates the data contained in the tire pressure sensor RF transmissions into sensor presence, sensor mode, and tire pressure. Once vehicle speed is greater than 32 km/h (20 mph), the RCDLR waits for the first sensor to go into drive mode, then checks if all sensors have gone into drive mode. If one or more sensors do not go into drive mode, or do not transmit at all, the RCDLR will set DTC C0750, C0755, C0760, or C0765.
