TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR LOCATION UNDETEREMIND

For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W.

Theory of Operation

The vehicle sensor locate process occurs after the vehicle sits at zero speed for more than 19 min. The tire pressure monitor system will determined the sensor positions while driving at speeds above 15 MPH (24 Km/h). This process can take up to 10 min to determined sensor positions.

When Monitored:
While vehicle above 15 MPH.
Set Condition:
Must fail vehicle sensor locate process 1 time during the locate drive cycle above 15 MPH for 19 min.

Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES - STANDARD PROCEDURE).

3. (D508) COM-LIN TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR LAN CIRCUIT OPEN

Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Tire Pressure Trigger Module.
Disconnect the WCM.
With an ohmmeter measure the resistance of the (D508) COM-LIN TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR LAN CIRCUIT.

Is the resistance below 5 Ohms?

Yes

Go To 4

Repair or replace the open circuit.
Perform TPM VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 22 - TIRES/WHEELS/TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

4. FUSED IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT (RUN) CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE

Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Tire Pressure Transponder harness connector.
Disconnect the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module harness connector.
Turn the ignition on.
Using a 12–volt test light connect to ground, check the Fused Ignition Switch Output (Run) circuit.

NOTE: The test light should be illuminated and bright. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.

Is the test light illuminated and bright?

Yes

Go to 5

Repair the Fused Ignition Switch Output (Run) circuit for an open circuit or high resistance.
Perform TPM VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 22 - TIRES/WHEELS/TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

5. GROUND CIRCUIT(S) OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE

Using a 12-volt test light connect to battery voltage, probe each of the Ground circuit(s).

NOTE: The test light should be illuminated and bright. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.

Does the test light illuminate brightly?

Yes

Go to 6

Repair the Ground circuit(s) for an open circuit or high resistance.
Perform TPM VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 22 - TIRES/WHEELS/TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

6. (D508) COM - LIN TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR LAN CIRCUIT SHORT TO VOLTAGE

Turn the ignition on.
Measure the voltage of the (D508) COM - LIN Tire Pressure Monitor LAN circuit.

Is there any voltage present?

Yes

Repair the (D508) COM - LIN Tire Pressure Monitor LAN circuit for a short to voltage.

Go to 7
Perform TPM VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 22 - TIRES/WHEELS/TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

7. (D508) COM - LIN TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR LAN CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND

Turn the ignition off.
Measure the resistance between ground and the (D508) COM - LIN Tire Pressure Monitor LAN circuit.

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes

Repair the (D508) COM - LIN Tire Pressure Monitor LAN circuit for a short to ground.

Perform TPM VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 22 - TIRES/WHEELS/TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

Go to 8

8. (D508) COM - LIN TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR LAN CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE

Use a jumper wire with one end connected to ground and the other to the (D508) COM - LIN Tire Pressure Monitor LAN circuit in the Front Left Pressure Tire Transponder harness connector.
Using a 12-Volt test light connected to battery voltage, probe the (D508) COM - LIN Tire Pressure Monitor LAN circuit in the TPM harness connector.

NOTE: The test light should be illuminated and bright. Compared the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.

Does the test light illuminate bright?

Yes

Go to 9

Repair the (D508) COM - LIN Tire Pressure Monitor LAN circuit for an open circuit or high resistance.
