Monitoring System (TPMS), General Procedures). Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the BCM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).

Is DTC B124D:02 present?

Yes

GO to E3

No

If the TPMS warning indicator is on continuously and the message center is displaying low tire pressure, GO to E3 If the TPMS warning indicator is not illuminated and the message center does not display low tire pressure, the system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). For information on locating sources of Radio Frequency Interference (RFI), REFER to: Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - System Operation and Component Description (204-04B Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), Description and Operation).

E3 CHECK FOR SPARE TIRE IN USE

NOTE: A spare tire cannot be programmed to the vehicle. If a damaged road wheel is located in the vehicle and the RTM cannot communicate with it, or if the damaged wheel has been dropped off at a repair facility, the BCM sets a TPMS sensor fault. Repair and remount the road wheel as necessary to restore system operation.

Check the spare tire location.

Is the spare tire in use?

Yes

REPAIR and REMOUNT the wheel to the vehicle. REFER to: Wheel and Tire (204-04A Wheels and Tires, Removal and Installation).

ADJUST tire pressures to the required pressure as defined on the VC label.

No

GO to E4

E4 CHECK FOR LOW TIRE PRESSURE

Measure and record the pressure in all 4 tires using a digital tire pressure gauge. Adjust the pressure for those found to be below the specification listed on the VC label. To clear the low pressure warning indicator, drive the vehicle for at least 2 minutes above 32.2 km/h (20 mph) or activate each sensor at least twice. REFER to: Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Activation (204-04B Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), General Procedures). Do not train the sensors at this time.

Has the TPMS warning indicator gone out?

Yes

The system is operating correctly at this time. The cause was low tire pressure.

No

GO to E5

E5 TRAIN ALL 4 TPMS (TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM) SENSORS

Train all 4 TPMS sensors. REFER to: Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Location Calibration (204-04B Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), General Procedures).

Did all of the TPMS sensors train and did the horn sound when each sensor was trained?
