DESCRIPTION
The tire pressure warning valve and transmitters that are installed in the tire and wheel assemblies measure the tire pressures. The measured values are transmitted to the tire pressure warning antenna and receiver on the body as radio waves and then sent to the tire pressure warning ECU. The ECU compares the measured air pressure values with the air pressure threshold. When the measured air pressure value is less than this threshold, the warning light in the combination meter comes on.The tire pressure warning valve and transmitters constantly send radio waves to the tire pressure warning antenna and receiver.
Under the conditions below, the tire pressure warning antenna and receiver is unable to receive the signals from the tire pressure warning valve and transmitters, and a DTC is stored.
- Facilities or devices that use similar radio frequencies are located in the vicinity of the vehicle.
- Devices using similar radio frequencies are used in the vehicle.
- The ID of the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is mistyped during registration.
- A tire/wheel/transmitter from a different vehicle is installed.
- HINT:
- When no transmitter ID is received from a tire pressure warning valve and transmitter for a total of 20 minutes while the vehicle speed is more than 8 km/h (5 mph) or no transmitter ID is received from all the tire pressure warning valve and transmitters for a total of 20 minutes, DTCs are set.
- DTCs from C2121/21 to C2124/24 can only be cleared by using the Techstream. DTCs from C2181/81 to C2184/84 can be cleared when the transmitter in the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter sends a forced transmission signal or test mode ends. DTCs from C2181/81 to C2184/84 are output only in test mode.
DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
C2121/21 C2122/22 C2123/23 C2124/24 | Following condition (a) or (b) is met: (a) When all conditions below are met:
|
|
C2181/81 C2182/82 C2183/83 C2184/84 | Test mode procedure is performed. |
|
- NOTICE:
- When DTCs C2121/21 to C2124/24 are set, DTC C2173/73 may be set simultaneously. In such cases, troubleshoot C2173/73 first, then troubleshoot DTCs C2121/21 to C2124/24.
- HINT:
- It is necessary to perform the procedure to identify the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter that is malfunctioning because it cannot be identified by the output DTC.
