Wheel /tire noise, vibration and harshness concerns are directly related to vehicle speed and are not generally affected by
acceleration, coasting or decelerating. Also, out-of-balance wheel and tires can vibrate at more than one speed. A
vibration that is affected by the engine rpm, or is eliminated by placing the transmission in Neutral is not related to the tire
and wheel. As a general rule, tire and wheel vibrations felt in the steering wheel are related to the front tire and wheel
assemblies. Vibrations felt in the seat or floor are related to the rear tire and wheel assemblies. This can initially isolate a
concern to the front or rear.
Careful attention must be paid to the tire and wheels. There are several symptoms that can be caused by damaged or
worn tire and wheels. Perform a careful visual inspection of the tires and wheel assemblies. Spin the tires slowly and
watch for signs of lateral or radial runout. Refer to the tire wear chart to determine the tire wear conditions and actions

• Using tires and wheel other than the recommended sizes could cause unusual handling characteristics and poor
vehicle control, resulting in a serious accident.

Tire Rotation
Checking For Pull And Wander
If the steering pulls to one side, rotate the tires according to the following wheel rotation procedure.
1. Rotate the front right and front left tires, and perform a road test in order to confirm vehicle stability.
2. If the steering pulls to the opposite side, rotate the front and rear tires, and perform a road test again.
4. If the steering continues to pull to the opposite side, replace the front wheels with new ones.

Removal
1. Remove valve core and deflate the tire.
2. Remove the side of the tire bead area from the wheel using tire changing machine .
• The tire bead should be broken approx. 90° from the valve side of the wheel. The bead breaker should
not be set too deep.
• Avoid tire/tool contact with the valve on dismount.
• Dismount should end near the valve.

Installation
1. Apply tire soap or lubrication to the top and bottom tire beads.
2. To fit the bottom bead, position the valve at the 5 o’clock position relative to the head on the tire changing machine.
4. After bottom bead is on tire, rotate the rim until the valve is at the 5 o’clock position relative to the head on the tire
changing machine. Push down on the tire at the 3 o’clock position and rotate the rim clockwise to fit the top bead.

When using a commercially available computerized wheel alignment equipment to inspect the front wheel alignment,
always position the vehicle on a level surface with the front wheels facing straight ahead.
Prior to inspection, make sure that the front suspension and steering system are in normal operating condition and that
the tires are inflated to the specified pressure.

Suspension System
Description
Tread Lamp
- Tire Under Inflation / Leak Warning.
1. Turn on condition
A. When tire pressure is below allowed threshold
B. When rapid leak is detected by the sensor.
cardiagn.com
2. Turn off condition
A. Under-inflation ; When tire pressure is above (warning threshold + hysteresis).
B. Rapid Leak ; When tire pressure is above (leak warning threshold).
Wheel Location
1. Turn on condition
A. At the same time as TREAD Lamp.
B. Indicates wheel location where under inflation / leak has occurred.
2. Turn off condition
A. At the same time as TREAD Lamp.
If wheel locations change in between Ignition cycles, then the system assumes the previous Auto-Located
position. Once Auto-Location completes on the current Ignition cycle, the correct lamp will be lit.
DTC Warning
1. Turn on condition
A. When the system detects a fault that is external to the receiver / sensor.
B. When the system detects a receiver fault.
C. When the system detects a sensor fault.
2. Turn off condition
A. If the fault is considered as 'critical', then the lamp is held on throughout the current Ignition cycle (even if the
DTC has been demoted). This is because it is important to bring the problem to the drivers attention. On the
following Ignition cycle, the demotion conditions will be re-checked. If the demotion conditions occur, the lamp
will be turned off. It will be held on until DTC demotion checking is completed.
B. 'Non critical' faults are those that can occur temporarily e.g. vehicle battery under voltage. The lamp is therefore
turned off when the DTC demotion condition occurs.
System Fault
Description
cardiagn.com
1. Mode
(1) Configuration State
A. All sensors should be in the Low Line state.
B. In Low Line configuration, sensor transmissions occur every 1 minute (nominal) and pressure is measured
every 4 seconds.
(2) Normal Delayed Auto State
A. This is Low Line specific and is used for all HMC/KMC High Line applications.
B. In this state, the sensor will transmit for approx. 12 minutes before automatically entering storage state.
(3) Storage Auto State
A. This state is a Low quiescent current state.
B. In this state;
1) Ignition off.
2) The sensor does not measure pressure / temperature / battery level.
3) The sensor will not transmit, unless requested to do so by the initiate command.
(4) Alert State
A. The sensor automatically enters this state if the measured temperature exceeds 110°C and over temperature
shutdown is likely.
B. In this state, pressure is measured every 4 seconds and RF data transmitted every 4 seconds.
C. The state lasts for 1 minute if it is pressure triggered.

Tire Removal
• The tire bead should be broken approx. 90° from the valve side of the wheel. The bead breaker should
not be set too deep.
• Avoid tire/tool contact with the valve on dismount.
• Dismount should end near the valve.
cardiagn.com
Sensor Removal
• The fit should not be tight i.e. it should still be possible to easily adjust valve angle.
• Ensure that the wheel to be fitted is designed for sensor mount. There should normally be a mark to
cardiagn.com
indicate this.
• Ensure that the valve hole and mating face of the wheel are clean.
Ensure sensor feet are against the wheel throughout the remainder of the assembly
process.
3. Tighten washer and nut by hand until the valve thread meets the nut built-in calibrated stop.
cardiagn.com
Only use wheels designed to accommodate the TPMS sensor.
1. Lubricate the tire bead not the rim. Excessive lubrication should not be applied.
2. Start tire mounting approx. 5.9 in(15 cm) from valve.
3. Move the mounting tool away from the valve.
Description
1. Mode
(1) Virgin State
A. The receiver as a sole part is shipped in this state. Replacement parts should therefore arrive in this state.
B. In this state, there is no Auto-Location, no sensor wake-up, no sensor monitoring and no DTC monitoring.
C. The state indicates that platform specific parameters must be written to the receiver and that sensors are un-
learned.
(2) Normal State
A. In order for tire inflation state and DTC monitoring to occur, the receiver must be in this state.
B. In this state, automatic sensor learning is enabled.
cardiagn.com
2) Uses confidence reduction of previously learned sensors.
C. Typical time at driving over 25 kph to learn a new sensor is up to 10 minutes.
3. General Conditions to Un-Learn a sensor that is removed:
A. It takes less than 10 minutes at 20~30kph.
B. Confidence reduction is dependant on vehicle speed and the number of sensors known to the receiver.
Suspension System
Replacement
It is important to make sure that the correct receiver is used to replace the faulty part i.e. it must be Low Line (95800-
1U00) in order to have the correct inflation warning thresholds set.
1. Disconnect vehicle battery (-)cable.
2. Remove the glove box housing.
