SAFETY FIRST
Appropriate service methods and proper repair procedures are essential for safe, reli-
able operation of all motor vehicles as well as the personal safety of the individual per-
forming the repair. There are numerous variations in procedures, techniques, tools and
parts for servicing vehicles, as well as in the skill of the individual performing the serv-
ice. This workbook cannot possibly anticipate all such variations and provide advice or
caution to each. Accordingly, anyone who departs from the instruction provided in this
workbook must first establish that they compromise neither their personal safety nor
the vehicle integrity by their choice of methods, tools or parts. The following list con-
tains general warnings that should always be followed while working on a vehicle.
• Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
• Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires under-body work.
• Be sure the ignition switch is always off unless otherwise specified by a procedure.
• Set the parking brake when working on the vehicle.
• Operate the engine only in a well ventilated area.
• Keep clear of moving parts when the engine is running.
• To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator,
exhaust manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
• Do not smoke while working on a vehicle.
Within this workbook you will find Notes, Cautions and Warnings which provide critical
information and help you do your job safely and efficiently. Be certain you understand
the message before you attempt to perform any part of a service procedure.
! A WARNING alerts you to the highest level of risk. Warnings inform you that a
procedure must be done in a particular way to minimize an accident.

RECEIVER STATES The receiving unit exists in one of the following states:
WARNING LAMPS: TPMS uses 2 indicator lamps in the Low Line and 3 in
the High Line systems. The Low Line system uses the
Tire Pressure Warning (TREAD) Lamp and the TPMS
Lamp, which are located on the instrument panel (IP).
The High Line also has a Low Pressure Tire Warning
Lamp located on the IP or center dash.
Tire Pressure Warning The Tire Pressure Warning Lamp, which displays a tire
TREAD symbol, is turned ON during these conditions:
x Initial key ON lamp check
x High temperature
x Low tire pressure when:
x Rapid leak is detected
x Under inflated
x Very cold conditions/temperature
TPMS Diagnosis The TPMS Lamp will turn ON to inform the driver of a
system failure. The conditions that will turn this
indicator ON are:
x Initial key ON lamp check
x TPMS system failure to determine a low tire
HIGH LINE ADDS: Only the High Line has a Low Pressure Tire Warning
Low Pressure Tire Location Lamp displaying 4 tires that turns ON:
Warning Lamp x Briefly at key ON
x When TREAD symbol is ON
x The wheel on the diagram relating to the TP sensor
indicating the concern will illuminate.

LEAR TP SENSOR MODE x Check Lear sensor status and register sensor
Stationary/Rolling x High Line measure pressure & temperature every 4
seconds and Low Line every 32 seconds
x Measure acceleration every 60 seconds
x High Line transmit every 60 seconds when awake
and Low Line every 180 seconds
Operating mode: x When activated, the LFI broadcast a 125 KHz low
frequency signal to the TP sensor to wake them up
x Afterwards, LFI stops broadcasting until signaled
again by the receiver every 10 minutes
x After WE sensor receives its wake up signal, it
broadcasts its ID and status data to the receiver.

WE WE
Initiator self learning Erases all previously learned WE sensors. The receiver
uses each LFI to force each sensor to transmit, in the
order shown above, in order to capture the sensor’s ID
and location, which is stored in the receiver.
Manual Learn The TPMS tool is used to manually capture the sensor’s
ID and location in the same order shown above. The
GDS tool is then connected to the 16 pin DLC connector
and the data is downloaded to the receiver.

TPMS DIAGNOSIS
CUSTOMER CONCERN Customer concerns with TPMS may fall into 2 types:
x Low tire pressure warning lamp ON (TREAD)
x TPMS warning lamp ON (system malfunction)
TREAD LAMP With only the TREAD lamp ON, customers should be
advised of its purpose. Typically, tire pressure is below
allowed threshold and needs to be re-inflated to
placard pressure (cold) and/or repaired for a leak.
TPMS does not inflate the tire. Other issues include:
x Was puncture repair fluid used?
x Temperature tires were last inflated at (cold/hot)?
x Have tires been inflated since the lamp came on?
TPMS LAMP The TPMS warning lamp indicates that a fault exists.
x System detects a fault external to the
receiver/sensor
x System detects a receiver fault
x System detects a sensor fault
x System detects an initiator fault (High Line)
DIAGNOSIS INFORMATION
TPMS DTC WARNING The TPMS warning lamp illuminates when the system
detects a fault. At each ignition key ON and after the
bulb check, the receiver runs diagnostics. After the fault
is corrected or a subsequent test passes, the warning
lamp will turn OFF but will store a history DTC. Current
and history DTC can only be cleared with the TPMS
tool.
SENSOR BATTERY LOW Using TPMS tool, inspect battery level in sensor status.
C1121 TO C1124 If low or non-RF transmission, replace sensor.
If lamp does not turn OFF after 8 minutes of Ignition
ON, replace receiver with known good one and retest.
If lamp still does not turn OFF, replace sensor.
RECEIVER (VEHICLE) Vehicle voltage below 11V, check battery, wiring, fuse,
BATTERY IS: connectors, check voltage input and ground to receiver.
C1126 LOW Vehicle voltage above 16V, check charging system.
C1127 HIGH If OK, replace receiver with known good one, retest.
INPUT VSS SIGNAL VSS signal from VSS to receiver or ECM to receiver is
C1212 & C1240 short, open or not present. Inspect for VSS failure or
circuit open/shorted. If good, replace receiver.
WRONG TYPE SENSOR Use scan tool to verify sensor type and that correct
INSTALLED C1317 TO 1321 sensor was installed. If so, configure/register sensor.
TP SENSOR OVER Over 230 degrees F, the TPMS lamp turns ON to warn
TEMPERATURE SHUTDOWN driver of a possible tire performance concern. Check for
C1322-1325 incorrect tire fit, excessive braking or driving with the
parking brake ON. Inspect TP temperature using TPMS
tool during cold condition, if not equal to ambient, then
replace sensor.
INTERNAL SENSOR Check learned sensor list for sensor ID. Inspect sensors
FAILURE with scan tool, if no response replace. If response, re-
C1332-1336 register sensors with receiver. Turn Ignition ON, wait 8
minutes LL or 3 minutes HL. Did DTC turn OFF? If not
replace sensor.
INITIATOR SUPPLY SHORT There is a short circuit of the initiator supply from the
CIRCUIT receiver to all initiators. Inspect the harness, initiator,
connector and receiver for short circuit.
LAMP CIRCUIT FAILURE The Indicator lamp(s) are either open (burned out
C2510 TREAD C2511 TPMS bulb) or shorted (wiring). Check the wiring, instrument
C2512-2515 TIRE cluster and lamps during the 3-second bulb check at
INDICATOR ignition key ON. Cycle the ignition and inspect for all
TPMS related lamps turn ON for bulb check.
DTC WITH LF/RF When analyzing TPMS DTC, many acronyms may be
found in the data content. The following will explain
these acronyms to help eliminate confusion when
diagnosing TPMS DTC concerns.
LOW LINE Low Line TPMS does not differentiate between wheel
positions. The Low Line ECU/Receiver only recognizes
sensors by channels. These are designated sensor 1
through 4 as shown in the DTCs below:
x C1312 Sensor 1 RF Channel Failure
x C1313 Sensor 2 RF Channel Failure
x C1314 Sensor 3 RF Channel Failure
x C1315 Sensor 4 RF Channel Failure

change
VEHICLE NAME WRITING When the TPMS ECU/receiver is replaced, the vehicle
model two letter designation must be registered using
the GDS. This is for the unit to use the vehicle specific
specifications.
SENSOR STATUS – Once the TPMS module has been programmed with the
WIRELESS MODULE vehicle information, the module is disconnected from
OPERATION the D-Sub cable to switch the module over to wireless
operation to read the TP sensor’s data.
SENSOR STATUS – With the TPMS module in wireless mode, read each TP
READING TP SENSOR DATA sensor starting with the driver’s front and moving clock-
wise following the GDS on-screen directions.
REGISTER SENSORS – The above screen will appear providing the current TP
WRITING DATA sensor ID numbers previously written to the
ECU/receiver. The accuracy of the sensor being in the
position shown depends upon the functions available
on the TPMS. A HL system reads the TP sensor location
at ignition key ON. A LL system does not. A LL system
may have a Auto Learn feature when driven a certain
MPH for a certain distance. No ID numbers should be
shown with a new ECU/receiver.
REGISTER SENSORS – Both the previously READ and newly WRITE (collected
CONFIRM WRITE DATA from the module) sensor ID will appear. By selecting
write, the ID data is written to the ECU/receiver and
the GDS displays the ID information stored in the
ECU/receiver to confirm the ID was written.
SAMPLE TPMS DTC SETTING The TPMS ECU/receiver monitors the all TP sensor RF
CONDITIONS signals. This code is set if the RF signal from the LF
learned sensor is not received by the ECU/receiver.
