DTC Descriptor
DTC C2171: Low Tire Pressure Sensors Not Learned -- MainCircuit/System Description
The tire pressure monitor (TPM) system has a radio frequency (RF) transmitting pressure sensor in each wheel/tire assembly. The module receives and translates the data contained in the tire pressure sensor RF transmissions into sensor presence, sensor mode, and tire pressure.
The receiver module receives a radio frequency (RF) transmission from each tire pressure sensor. Each sensor RF transmission contains its own unique identification (ID) code that must be learned into the module memory. Once all 4 IDs have been learned, the module continuously compares IDs received in transmission to its learned IDs to determine if all 4 sensors are present.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The ignition is ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
Tire Pressure Sensor ID code is not learned.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The Tire Pressure Warning Light is illuminated.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
A current DTC will clear when the Tire Pressure Control Module has undergone the sensor learn procedure.
