Tire pressure monitor (TPM (RDK)) messages - GF40.15-P-0001-08FL

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 33 other vehicles, including the 2016 Mercedes-Benz E63 S AMG, 2016 Mercedes-Benz E400, 2016 Mercedes-Benz E350, 2016 Mercedes-Benz E300, and 2016 Mercedes-Benz E250. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

MODEL 212 with CODE 475 (Tire pressure monitor (premium)) 

Schrader 

The tire pressure monitor (TPM [RDK]) system messages are shown in the multifunction display (A1p13) of the instrument cluster (A1). Depending on the warning message, the tire pressure monitor warning lamp (A1e66) is also actuated as follows:

In the event of messages in the instrument cluster a distinction is made between the following two types:

Menu display 1 

The TPM [RDK] system is not available until the "circuit 15 ON" status.

Menu display 2 

Normal condition, display of pressure display:

The menu displays can be called up in the instrument cluster over the left multifunction steering wheel button group (S110) in the "Service/tire pressure" menu.

Warning messages are issued automatically.

Status picture in event of fault, the TPM system is nonfunctional. Possible causes are:

Menu display 5 

Status indication of TPM [RDK] system after ignition restart (Status "Circuit 15 ON"). There are still no high frequency (HF) signals (433 MHz) from the left front tire pressure sensor (A69/1), right front tire pressure sensor (A69/2), left rear tire pressure sensor (A69/3) and right rear tire pressure sensor (A69/4). When the wheels are already known to the system, the pressure picture appears shortly after the start of a trip. It can take a few minutes until the position identification is learnt with new wheels.

IMPORTANT A manual restart is possible by pressing the scroll forward and back button in the lower subfield and then the OK button.

Menu display 6 

The tire pressure sensors are all missing. Possible causes are:

Warning message 1 

The TPM [RDK] system is nonfunctional. Possible causes are:

IMPORTANT The tire pressure monitor warning lamp is permanently actuated in the instrument cluster up to AJ12 except CODE 494 (USA version) or flashes for t = 60 seconds, and is then permanently actuated (as of AJ12 or CODE 494 (USA version)). Following the next ignition sequence, this procedure will repeat itself until the fault is eliminated.

Warning message 2 

During the preceding ignition sequence the TPM system is found to exhibit a minor pressure loss of p = 0.25 bar (up to AJ12) or of 12 % (as of AJ12). After "Circuit 15 OFF" status (up to AJ12) or during an actual journey (as of AJ12) a reference is made to the tire inflation pressure correction that is due.

IMPORTANT The warning is displayed without the position being specified.

Warning message 3 

The TPM [RDK] system has detected a tire pressure loss (p < p_specified - -20 %) and assigned it to the corresponding wheel.

IMPORTANT The tire pressure monitor warning lamp is actuated permanently and an acoustic message takes place.

Warning message 4 

The tire pressure monitor has detected a significant pressure loss in one or more tires (p < p_specified -20 %). The wheel position is not assigned.

IMPORTANT The tire pressure monitor warning lamp is actuated permanently and an acoustic message takes place.

Warning message 5 

The tire pressure monitor system has detected a rapid pressure loss in one or more tires (dp/dt > 0.2 bar/min.). The corresponding wheel position is assigned.

IMPORTANT The tire pressure monitor warning lamp is actuated permanently and an acoustic message takes place.

Warning message 6 

The tire pressure monitor system has detected a rapid pressure loss in one or more tires (dp/dt > 0.2 bar/min.). The wheel position is not assigned.

IMPORTANT The tire pressure monitor warning lamp is actuated permanently and an acoustic message takes place.

Warning message 7 

The tire pressure monitoring system has detected filling of the tire, but the new tire air pressure values are implausible. The previous warning thresholds are retained.

IMPORTANT The message is displayed until a pressure correction or manual reactivation takes place.

Warning message 8 

The tire pressure monitor control unit is unable to receive signals from the tire pressure sensors.

Possible cause: Wheels fitted without tire pressure sensor.

IMPORTANT The tire pressure monitor warning lamp is permanently actuated in the instrument cluster (up to AJ12 except CODE 494 (USA version)) or flashes for t = 60 seconds and is then permanently actuated (as of AJ12 or CODE 494 (USA version)). Following the next ignition sequence, this procedure will repeat itself until the fault is eliminated.

Warning message 9 

The TPM [RDK] system is temporarily inactive because of transmission interference or because the voltage is too high or too low.

IMPORTANT The tire pressure monitor warning lamp is permanently actuated in the instrument cluster (up to AJ12 except CODE 494 (USA version)) or flashes for t = 60 seconds and is then permanently actuated (as of AJ12 or CODE 494 (USA version)). Following the next ignition sequence, this procedure will repeat itself until the fault is eliminated.

Warning message 10 

The tire pressure monitoring system does not detect all the tire pressure sensors.

Possible causes:

IMPORTANT The tire pressure monitor warning lamp is permanently actuated in the instrument cluster (up to AJ12 except CODE 494 (USA version)) or flashes for t = 60 seconds and is then permanently actuated (as of AJ12 or CODE 494 (USA version)). Following the next ignition sequence, this procedure will repeat itself until the fault is eliminated.
