Each sensor is an integrated unit made up of the tire valve stem, a tire pressure sensor, and a transmitter. The unit is
attached to the inside of the wheel, around the valve stem. The sensor transmits the internal tire information to the
control unit once every 60 seconds when the vehicle speed exceeds 45 km/h (28 mph). When the TPMS control unit
receives a tire pressure signal that is less than 175 kPa (1.8 kgf/cm , 25 psi) with 16 inch wheels, or 183 kPa (1.9 kgf/cm ,
27 psi) with 17 inch wheels, the TPMS control unit then turns on the low tire pressure indicator. When that tire’s
pressure is increased to more than 200 kPa (2.0 kgf/cm , 29 psi) with 16 inch wheels, or 210 kPa (2.1 kgf/cm , 30 psi)
with 17 inch wheels, and the vehicle is driven above 45 km/h (28 mph) the transmitter sends the tire pressure signal to
the control unit, and then the control unit turns the indicator off.
NOTE: Do not mix the TPMS tire pressure sensors or wheels with other TPMS types. Be sure to use the correct type
sensors and wheels for this system.
Sensor are active:
 When the wheel rotates over 45 km/h (28 mph), the sensor detects the momentum, switches the sensor to the normal function mode.
 The LF (low frequency) signal of the TPMS tool makes the sensor active even t hough the vehicle is stopped. The tire
pressure sensor goes into sleep mode when the acceleration sensor detects the wheel is stationary for 5 minutes or
more continuously.
The TPMS will not work unless TPMS type wheels are installed on the vehicle. There are three different types of
wheels used. The original equipment wheels have a ‘‘TPMS’’ mark (A) on them and are counterweighted (B) the
opposite of the tire pressure sensor (C), and counterbalance the weight of the sensor.

System Description (cont’d)
Control Unit
(With Radio Frequecy Antenna)
Tire Pressure Sensor
(Sensor-transmitter with acceleration sensor)
 When the vehicle is traveling more than 45 km/h (28 mph), an RF (radio frequency) band wave signal is transmitted
from each tire pressure sensor to the control unit.
 When the wheels rotate, and the tire pressure sensors momentum is detected, switching them from sleep mode to normal function (awake) mode. After the vehicle is stationary for 5 minutes, the sensors switch from normal
function mode back to sleep mode to extend their battery life.
 Each tire pressure sensor has its own ID to prevent jamming by similar systems on other vehicles. After memorizing all the sensor IDs, the control unit recognizes only those specific signals.
 An ID cannot be memorized automatically. The control unit knows which ID belongs to each tire pressure sensor. This recurring ID confirmation prevents any confusion in the system as a result of normal tire rotation.
NOTE: Be careful not to bend the brackets on the TPMS control unit: Misalignment of the control unit could interfere
with sending and receiving signals.

DTC Troubleshooting
Tire Low Air Pressure
NOTE: If low tire pressure is detected, the control unit
sets one or more of these DTCs, and turns on the low
tire pressure indicator. If the low tire pressure indicator
comes on because of a low tire pressure, and the client
corrects it before bringing the vehicle in, the DTCs will
be stored, but the indicator turns off. 1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
2. Make sure the tires are inflated to the specified tire pressure listed on the doorjamb sticker.
3. Test-drive the vehicle at 45 km/h (28 mph) or more for at least 1 minute.
The system is OK at this time. Check for and
repair the cause of air loss.
Go to step 4.
4. Check for DTCs with the HDS. 5. Note the tire pressure sensor(s) number by the
indicated DTC.
11 No. 1
13 No. 2
15 No. 3
17 No. 4
6. Do the tire pressure sensor location procedure to determine the affected tire location and relate it to
the tire pressure sensor number (see page 18-53).
7. Check the TIRE 1, TIRE 2, TIRE 3, or TIRE 4 AIR PRESSURE in the TPMS DATA LIST with the HDS,
and compare it with the actual measured tire
pressure.
Go to step 8.
Replace the appropriate tire pressure sensor
(see page 18-76).
8. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
9. Test-drive the vehicle at 45 km/h (28 mph) or more for at least 1 minute.
10. Check for DTCs with the HDS.
Replace the TPMS control unit (see page
18-75).
If any other DTCs are indicated, troubleshoot
the appropriate DTC. If no DTCs are indicated, the
system is OK at this time.
