NO -Repair open in the wire between the TPMS control unit and the No. 10 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-
dash fuse/relay box. 

10. Turn the ignition switch OFF.  

11. Reconnect TPMS control unit connector A (14P).

Is there 0.1 V or more?  

YES -Repair open or high resistance in the wire between the TPMS control unit and body ground (G501).

NO -Do the troubleshooting for the gauge control module (see WIRE COLOR CODES ). If the gauge 
control module is OK, check for loose terminals and poor connections at the TPMS control unit. If 
necessary, substitute a known-good TPMS control unit (see TPMS CONTROL UNIT 
REPLACEMENT ), and recheck. 

TPMS CONTROL UNIT REPLACEMENT 

1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.  

NOTE:

Make sure the TPMS control unit mounting bracket is not bent or twisted as this 
may affect its communication with the tire pressure sensors.

8. Remove the TPMS control unit (C) from the bracket (D). 

9. Install the TPMS control unit in the reverse order of removal.  

10. Connect the HDS and memorize the pressure sensor IDs using the TPMS sensor initializer tool (see 

MEMORIZING THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR ID ).  

TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR REPLACEMENT 

REMOVAL 

1. Raise the vehicle, and support it with safety stands in the proper locations (see LIFT AND SUPPORT 

POINTS ).  

2. Remove the wheel with the faulty sensor.  

3. Remove the tire valve stem cap and the valve stem core, and let the tire deflate.  

4. Remove any balance weights, and then break the bead loose from the wheel with a commercially 

NOTE:
