DTC Descriptor

DTC C0558: Tire Pressure Sensor IDs Not Learned

Circuit/System Description

If the tire pressure sensor learn mode has not been completed, the tire pressure monitor indicator icon on the instrument panel cluster (IPC) will flash for 1 minute and then remain illuminated after the ignition switch is cycled ON and the IPC bulb check is complete. Under these circumstances, DTC C0558 will be set.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The ignition ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The tire pressure monitor receiver has not completed the tire pressure sensor learn process.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The tire pressure monitor indicator icon on the instrument panel cluster (IPC) will flash for 1 minute and then remain illuminated after the ignition switch is cycled ON and the IPC bulb check is complete.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

A current DTC will clear when the tire pressure indicator receiver has undergone the tire pressure sensor learn process and 1 ignition cycle has occurred.

Diagnostic Aids

A newly replaced tire pressure indicator receiver does not set DTC C0558 on its initial ignition ON cycle. The vehicle will need to be driven above 32 km/h (20 mph) for over 10 minutes so that the tire pressure sensor learn process can be completed for the system to function correctly.
