Normal Operation and Fault Conditions The training (calibration) can be carried out manually or by using a
diagnostic scan tool, REFER to: Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Sensor Location Calibration (204-04B Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS), General Procedures). When one or more new TPMS sensors are installed or a new BCM is installed, the sensors must be trained (calibrated) to the BCM . For the manual training procedure, the BCM must receive a valid ignition signal, a valid brake pedal position signal and a valid vehicle speed signal. The ignition switch or start-stop switch signal and the brake pedal position signal are both direct inputs to the BCM , the vehicle speed signal is sent to the BCM from the PCM over the HS-CAN1 . If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, the
TPMS
sensors enter a "sleep mode" to conserve battery power. It becomes
necessary to wake them up so they transmit the latest tire pressure
information to the BCM . REFER to: Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) Sensor Activation (204-04B Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS), General Procedures). Possible Sources
