PINPOINT TEST F: THE BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) WILL NOT ENTER TPMS (TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM) SENSOR TRAINING MODE

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).

PINPOINT TEST G: ONE OR MORE TPMS (TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM) SENSORS DO NOT TRAIN AND NO DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS) ARE PRESENT

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

REFER to: Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - Vehicles Without: Keyless Entry and Push Button Start - System Operation and Component Description (204-04B Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), Description and Operation).

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

  • TPMS sensors
  • RFI

Visual Inspection and Pre-checks

  • Inspect for customer electronic devices, such as a cell phone charger or GPS unit.
  • Inspect for non-Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) wheel or run-flat tires.
  • Verify horn operation.
G1 ATTEMPT TO TRAIN THE TPMS (TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM) SENSORS

NOTE: The BCM has a 2-minute time limit between sensor responses. If the BCM does not recognize any of the 4 TPMS sensors during this time limit, the horn sounds twice and the message center displays TIRE NOT TRAINED REPEAT. The entire procedure must be repeated.

  • 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?
Yes The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by RFI . For information on locating sources of RFI ,
REFER to: Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - Vehicles Without: Keyless Entry and Push Button Start - System Operation and Component Description (204-04B Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), Description and Operation).
No If one or more TPMS sensors trained, GO to G2
If none of the TPMS sensors trained, GO to Pinpoint Test D

G2 CHECK FOR RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE
  • Ignition ON.
  • Move the vehicle to rotate the wheels at least one-fourth turn.
  • 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?
Yes The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by RFI . For information on locating sources of RFI ,
REFER to: Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - Vehicles Without: Keyless Entry and Push Button Start - System Operation and Component Description (204-04B Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), Description and Operation).
No For each sensor that did not train, VERIFY the correct sensor is installed. Refer to wheel and tire.
If the correct sensor is installed and did not train, INSTALL a new TPMS sensor for each sensor that failed to train.
REFER to: Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor (204-04B Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), Removal and Installation).

DTC Fault Trigger Conditions

DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition
BCM B1182:55 Tire Pressure Monitoring System: Not Configured This DTC is only present when a new BCM is installed, or the BCM is flashed or reconfigured. This DTC is cleared after the TPMS sensors locations are trained to the BCM .
BCM B1255:51 Left Rear (Outside On Duel Wheel) Tire Pressure Sensor and Transmitter Assembly: Not Programmed This DTC is only present when a new BCM is installed, or the BCM is flashed or reconfigured. This DTC is cleared after the TPMS sensors locations are trained to the BCM .
BCM B1254:51 Right Rear (Outside on Duel Wheel) Tire Pressure Sensor and Transmitter Assembly: Not Programmed This DTC is only present when a new BCM is installed, or the BCM is flashed or reconfigured. This DTC is cleared after the TPMS sensors locations are trained to the BCM .
BCM C1A56:51 Left Front Tire Pressure Sensor and Transmitter Assembly: Not Programmed This DTC is only present when a new BCM is installed, or the BCM is flashed or reconfigured. This DTC is cleared after the TPMS sensors locations are trained to the BCM .
BCM C1A58:51 Right Front Tire Pressure Sensor and Transmitter Assembly: Not Programmed This DTC is only present when a new BCM is installed, or the BCM is flashed or reconfigured. This DTC is cleared after the TPMS sensors locations are trained to the BCM .

Possible Sources

  • TPMS sensor locations not trained
  • BCM not configured correctly
H1 CHECK VEHICLE HISTORY
  • Check vehicle history for recent service action with the BCM .

Were there any recent BCM service actions?
Yes GO to H2
No GO to H3

H2 CARRY OUT THE TPMS SENSOR TRAINING PROCEDURE
  • Train all 4 TPMS sensors.
    REFER to: Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Location Calibration (204-04B Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), General Procedures).
    .
  • Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear the BCM DTC .
  • Ignition OFF.
  • Ignition ON.
  • Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the BCM self-test.

Are there any BCM DTCs present?
Yes GO to H3
No The system is operating correctly at this time. Un-trained TPMS sensors caused the DTC .

H3 CARRYOUT THE PMI (PROGRAMMABLE MODULE INSTALLATION) FOR THE BCM MODULE
  • Ignition ON.
  • Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the PMI procedure for the BCM as directed by the diagnostic scan tool.
  • Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) for the BCM .
  • Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the self-test for the BCM .

Is the original DTC still present?
Yes CHECK OASIS for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs), GSB , SSM or FSA . If a service article exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW the service article instructions.
If no service articles address this concern, INSTALL a new BCM
REFER to: Body Control Module (BCM) (419-10 Multifunction Electronic Modules, Removal and Installation).
No The system is operating correctly at this time. A not configured correctly BCM caused the DTC .
