INSPECTION
1. INSPECT TIRES
(a) Check the tires for wear and proper inflation
pressure.
Cold tire inflation pressure
(b) Using a dial indicator, check the runout of the tires.
Tire runout:
1.4 mm (0.055 in.) or less

3. WHEN TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT IS LIT
(a) When the tire pressure warning light does not go off,
or when it comes on during driving, check tire
pressure. If the tire pressure warning light comes on
within several hours after adjusting the tire
pressure, the tire may have a slow air leak.
(b) Under the following conditions, the system may not
function properly.
• Facilities or devices that use similar radio
frequencies are located in the vicinity of the
vehicle.
• A radio device of similar frequency is used in the
vehicle.
• A large amount of snow or ice is stuck to the
vehicle, especially onto the wheels and around
the wheel houses.
• The ID of the tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter has not been registered with the
ECU.
• A film or window tint that may interfere with radio
waves is attached on the glass.
• The battery of the sensor has been depleted.
• The tires without tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter are used.
• Tire chains are used.
• The use of non-genuine wheels may result in the
system failure or air-leak.
• Depending on the tire type, the system may not
function properly even though the specified
wheels are used.
(c) After removing and installing the ECU or a sensor,
check for a diagnostic trouble code and verify that it
is a normal code.
4. FUNCTION OF COMPONENTS
5. TIRE PRESSURE WARNING RESET SWITCH
• By operating the tire pressure warning reset switch,
the tire pressure warning ECU can be set to issue a
warning at an inflation pressure that corresponds to
the standard pressure of tires.
Therefore, the dealer must set the warning threshold
to the proper value in order to comply with the local
regulations.
Components Function
Tire pressure warning valve and transmitterCombined as a single unit with a disc wheel air valve, it measures tire pressure and
temperature and transmits an ID number for measurement value and identification.
Built-in the battery.
Tire pressure warning antenna and receiverReceives and transmits a necessary signal from the transmitter to the tire pressure
warning ECU.
Tire pressure warning ECUReceives a signal from the receiver and identifies it as vehicle's own signal. If the
measured value is equal to or lower than the specified value, it transmits a signal so
that the tire pressure warning light on the combination meter comes on.
Tire pressure warning lightLocated in the combination meter, it informs the driver of lowered tire air pressure
and system failure.

• Operate the tire pressure warning reset switch only
after the inflation pressures of all tires have been
adjusted on the vehicle.
• To initialize the system, press and hold the tire
pressure warning reset switch for 3 seconds or longer
with the ignition switch ON. After the initialization
process has started, the warning light blinks 3 times
(1 second on, 1 second off).
• During initialization, the tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter measures the inflation pressure of the
tires, and registers the signals that are transmitted
into the tire pressure warning ECU at a frequency of
once per 3 minutes. The initialization process is
completed when signals from all the tires have been
received. It takes several minutes.

INITIALIZATION
1. DESCRIPTION OF INITIALIZATION
(a) Perform initialization in the following cases:
• Before delivery of a new vehicle.
• After replacement of the tire pressure warning
ECU*.
• After replacement of the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter.
• Specified tire pressure changes depending on
the size or type of the tire.
*: Perform initialization after the transmitter ID
registration is completed (See page TW-20).
(b) Before initialization
(1) Set the air pressure of all tires to the specified
value.
Cold tire inflation pressure
NOTICE:
Perform the tire pressure adjustment after
the vehicle has sufficiently cooled down. If
the vehicle is not sufficiently cooled down,
increase the air pressure by 20 to 30 kPa (0.2
to 0.3 kgf/cm
2, 2.9 to 4.3 psi) above the
specified value.

2. INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE
(a) Make sure that the ignition switch is off.
(b) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(c) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(d) Select "TIREPRESS" by following the prompts
displayed on the intelligent tester.
(e) Press the tire pressure warning reset switch within
30 seconds after turning the ignition switch ON.
Keep the tire pressure warning reset switch pressed
for 3 seconds or more with the ignition switch ON.
(f) Check that the tire pressure warning light blinks 3
times (1 second ON, 1 second OFF).
HINT:
Initialization will be completed if signals are received
from all the wheels.
(g) Wait for 5 to 6 minutes with the ignition switch ON.
NOTICE:
• The initialization is normally completed
within 5 to 6 minutes.
• If the initialization has not been completed
successfully, DTC C2177/77 is set after the
vehicle is driven for 20 minutes or more.
• The initialization can be terminated by
connecting terminals TC and CG of the DLC3
connector.
3. CHECK THAT INITIALIZATION HAS BEEN
COMPLETED
(a) Confirm that the data of tire pressure of all tires are
displayed on the intelligent tester screen.

HINT:
*: It may take about 5 to 6 minutes until the values
are displayed. If the values are not displayed after
several minutes, perform troubleshooting according
to the inspection procedure for DTCs C2121/21 to
C2124/24 (See page TW-42).
NOTICE:
The following operations can be used instead of
above procedure:
1. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to ON.
2. Monitor the tire pressure values of all the
wheels using the intelligent tester.
3. If the tire pressure values cannot be
displayed on the intelligent tester screen, the
initialization has failed.
4. It takes about 5 to 6 minutes to display the
tire pressure data.
