|
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions The training (calibration) can be carried out manually or by using a diagnostic scan tool, REFER to: Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Location Calibration (204-04B Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), General Procedures). When one or more new TPMS sensors are installed or a new BCM is installed, the sensors must be trained (calibrated) to the BCM. For the manual training procedure, the BCM must receive a valid ignition signal, a valid brake pedal position signal and a valid vehicle speed signal. The ignition switch or start-stop switch signal and the brake pedal position signal are both direct inputs to the BCM, the vehicle speed signal is sent to the BCM from the PCM over the HS-CAN1. If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, the TPMS
sensors enter a "sleep mode" to conserve battery power. It becomes
necessary to wake them up so they transmit the latest tire pressure
information to the RTM. REFER to: Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Activation (204-04B Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), General Procedures). Possible Sources
