Use of Proprietary LF Tools For Diagnosis of TPMS Sensor Issues: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Jaguar XE and 2017 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

An LF TPMS test and diagnostic tool may be used to check the operation and status of the TPMS sensors. Such LF tools typically operate by generating a low-frequency (LF) magnetic field to activate the tire pressure sensors and then capturing the information transmitted by the sensor (in the form of UHF radio signals) and displaying the status of the sensor to the technician. Any LF tool capable of supporting the communication protocols of the Continental TG1C sensor may be used

If TPMS faults are logged with DTCs indicating either "No Signal" (DTC codes ending in 31 - for example, C1A56-31) or "No Operation" (DTC codes ending in 93 - for example, C1A56-93) from one or more TPMS sensor/transmitter assemblies and if an LF Tool is available, the following procedures may be used to diagnose the specific nature of the fault:
