Inspection Procedure
NOTE:
- When replacing the tire pressure warning ECU, read the transmitter IDs stored in the old ECU using Techstream and write them down before removal.
- It is necessary to perform initialization (See INITIALIZATION ) after registration (See REGISTRATION ) of the transmitter IDs into the tire pressure warning ECU if the ECU has been replaced.
- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (VEHICLE SPEED)
- Turn the ignition switch off.
- Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch on (IG) and turn the tester on.
- Enter the following menus: Chassis/Tire Pressure Monitor/Data List.
- Check that the values indicated on the tester and on the combination meter are the same.

Vehicle speed indicated on the tester and on the combination meter are the same.
NG: Go to step 2
OK: USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK (See HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING )
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ECU - COMBINATION METER)
- Disconnect the D33 ECU connector.
- Disconnect the E1 meter connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value (s) in the table below.
Standard resistance
STANDARD RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONTester Connection Condition Specified Condition D33-2 (SPD) - E1-9 (+S) Always Below 1 Ω D33-2 (SPD) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- INSPECT TIRE PRESSURE WARNING ECU (SPD SIGNAL)
- Remove the combination meter (See REMOVAL ).
- Reconnect D33 and E1 connectors.
- Jack up the vehicle.
- Shift the lever to the neutral position.
- Turn the ignition switch on (IG).
- Check the waveform of the ECU connector using an oscilloscope while turning the wheel slowly.
Result
RESULT REFERENCETester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition E1-9 (+S) - Body ground Ignition switch on (IG) Correct waveform appears as shown Tool Setting
TOOL SETTING REFERENCEItem Contents Tool Setting 5 V/DIV., 20 ms/DIV. Vehicle Condition Driving wheel rotating slowly OK:
The waveform is displayed as shown in the illustration.
HINT:
When the system is functioning normally, one wheel revolution generates 4 pulses. As the vehicle speed increases, the width indicated by (A) in the illustration narrows.
NG: GO TO METER/GAUGE SYSTEM (See SPEED SIGNAL CIRCUIT )
OK: REPLACE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING ECU (See REMOVAL )
