Circuit/System Testing
- Inflate tires to the proper pressure. Refer to
Vehicle Certification, Tire Placard, Anti-Theft, and Service Parts ID Label .
- Using the tire pressure monitor (TPM) special tool, activate each tire pressure sensor and record each sensors tire pressure reading in psi. Check tire pressures with a known accurate hand held tire pressure gauge. Verify pressure readings from special
tool do not differ 4 psi or more lower than actual tire pressure.
⇒ | If 4 psi or more lower than actual tire pressure, replace the suspect tire pressure sensor. |
- Ignition ON, with the scan tool, select instrument panel special functions Lamp Test. Command the instrument panel warning lamps OFF. Verify low tire pressure indicator lamp turns OFF.
⇒ | If the lamp does not turn OFF, replace the IPC. |
- Enable the TPM learn mode. Use the TPM special tool in simulate mode to learn 4 simulated sensor transmissions into the LGM. Observe tire pressures in the scan tool data display. Verify simulated tire pressures do not differ more than +/- 4 psi
of the scan tool reading.
⇒ | If the tire pressures differ more than +/- 4 psi, replace the LGM. |
- Ignition ON, use the scan tool to setup the Tire Type/Pressure Selection in the LGM Module Setup menu. If the condition still exists, replace the LGM.
