DESCRIPTION
The tire pressure warning valve and transmitters installed in the tire and wheel assemblies measure the air pressures of the tires. The measured values are transmitted to the tire pressure warning antenna and receiver on the body as radio waves and then sent to the tire pressure warning ECU. The ECU compares the measured air pressure values with the air pressure threshold. When the measured air pressure value is less than this threshold, the warning light in the combination meter turns on. The tire pressure warning ECU stores a DTC when the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter stops transmitting signals. At this time, forcibly transmit the signals by releasing the tire pressure rapidly. The stored DTC is cleared when the signal transmission is resumed.

HINT
It is necessary to perform this procedure in order to identify the malfunctioning tire pressure warning valve and transmitter because it cannot be identified by only the output DTCs.
Scheme 18
The tire pressure warning valve and transmitters installed in the tire and wheel assemblies measure the air pressure of the tires. The measured values are transmitted to the tire pressure warning antenna and receiver on the body as radio waves and then sent to the tire pressure warning ECU. The ECU compares the measured air pressure values with the air pressure threshold. When the measured air pressure value is less than this threshold, the warning light in the combination meter illuminates.
The tire pressure warning valve and transmitters constantly send radio waves to the tire pressure warning antenna and receiver.
Under the conditions below, the tire pressure warning antenna and receiver is unable to receive the signals from the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters, and a DTC is stored.
- Facilities or devices that use similar radio frequencies are located in the vicinity of the vehicle.
- Devices using similar radio frequencies are used in the vehicle.
- An ID of the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is mistyped during registration.
- A tire, wheel and/or transmitter from a different vehicle is installed.
HINT
These DTCs are detected when no signals are received for 20 minutes or more, after a vehicle speed of 8 km/h (5 mph) or more is detected and no signals are still received for 20 minutes or more.
DTCs from C2121/21 to C2124/24 can only be cleared by using the Techstream. DTCs from C2181/81 to C2184/84 can be cleared when the transmitter in the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter sends a forced transmission signal or test mode (signal check mode) ends. DTCs from C2181/81 to C2184/84 are output only in test mode (signal check mode).
| DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| C2121/21 C2122/22 C2123/23 C2124/24 | When both conditions below are met: Tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is not in stop mode When vehicle speed is more than 8 km/h (5 mph), signal is not received from tire pressure warning valve and transmitter for 20 minutes or more | Tire pressure warning valve and transmitter Tire pressure warning antenna and receiver Harness or connector Tire pressure warning ECU |
| C2181/81 C2182/82 C2183/83 C2184/84 | Test mode (signal check mode) procedure is performed. | Tire pressure warning valve and transmitter Tire pressure warning antenna and receiver Harness or connector Tire pressure warning ECU |
HINT
It is necessary to perform this procedure in order to identify the malfunctioning tire pressure warning valve and transmitter because it cannot be identified by only the output DTCs.
After all IDs are registered, DTC C2126/26 is set in the tire pressure warning ECU and the tire pressure warning light blinks for 1 minute and then comes on.
When the tire pressure waning ECU successfully receives radio waves from all the transmitters whose IDs are stored in the ECU, DTC C2126/26 is deleted and the tire pressure warning light goes off.
| DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| C2126/26 | After ID registration is completed, until all tire pressure warning valve and transmitter IDs are received by tire pressure warning ECU. | ID registration failure Tire pressure warning valve and transmitter Tire pressure warning antenna and receiver Harness or connector Tire pressure warning ECU |
HINT
The purpose of this DTC is to help prevent delivering a vehicle that has incorrectly registered IDs. After all IDs are registered, DTC C2126/26 is detected and the tire pressure warning light blinks for 1 minute and then comes on. If the tire pressure warning light does not turn off after a little while, IDs may be incorrectly registered.
The tire pressure warning valve and transmitters that are installed in the tire and wheel assemblies measure the air pressure of the tires. The measured values are transmitted to the tire pressure warning antenna and receiver on the body as radio waves and then sent to the tire pressure warning ECU. The ECU compares the measured air pressure values with the air pressure threshold. When the measured air pressure value is less than this threshold, the warning light in the combination meter illuminates.
When the internal circuit of a tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is malfunctioning, one of these DTCs is output.
| DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| C2141/41 C2142/42 C2143/43 C2144/44 | If an "ERROR" signal is received 3 times consecutively, the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter will be judged as defective and a DTC will be output. This will happen in situations where the inflation pressure is outside the range -100 to 537.5 kPa (-1.0 to 5.4 kgf/cm 2 , -14 psi to 78 psi), the temperature inside the tire is outside the specified range -40 to 120°C (-40 to 253°F), or an error occurs in the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter or the surrounding area. | Tire pressure warning valve and transmitter Tire pressure warning ECU |
HINT
It is necessary to perform this procedure in order to identify the malfunctioning tire pressure warning valve and transmitter because it cannot be identified by only the output DTCs.
Each tire pressure warning valve and transmitter measures the internal temperature of its tire as well as tire pressure, and transmits the information to the tire pressure warning ECU along with the transmitter ID. If the measured temperature is out of the specified range, the tire pressure warning ECU recognizes it as a malfunction and outputs DTCs, and the tire pressure warning light blinks for 1 minute and then remains on.
| DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| C2165/65 C2166/66 C2167/67 C2168/68 | Temperature inside the tire exceeds 119°C (246.2°F) more than specified times. | Tires Tire pressure warning valve and transmitter Tire pressure warning ECU |
HINT
It is necessary to perform this procedure in order to identify the malfunctioning tire pressure warning valve and transmitter because it cannot be identified by only the output DTCs.
The IDs of each tire pressure warning valve and transmitter are registered to the tire pressure warning ECU.
When the ECU detects that an ID is not one of the registered IDs, or cannot receive an ID signal, a DTC is output.
| DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| C2171/71 | Transmitter ID code is not registered. (When an ID code is unregistered for 3 minutes or more) | Tire pressure warning ECU |

During initialization, the tire pressure warning ECU receives the signal from the tire pressure warning reset switch. If the ECU receives the signal, the tire pressure warning light blinks 3 times (1 second on, 1 second off).
Scheme 20
If the ECU detects trouble, the tire pressure warning light blinks (illuminates after blinking for 1 minute) and tire pressure monitor is canceled at the same time. At this time, the ECU records a DTC in the memory.
Connect terminals TC and CG of the DLC3 to make the tire pressure warning light blink and output the DTC.
This is the power source for the tire pressure warning ECU.
Scheme 21
DTC output mode is set by connecting terminals 13 (TC) and 4 (CG) of the DLC3. The DTCs are indicated by the tire pressure warning light blinking pattern.
Scheme 22
HINT
If the tire pressure warning light blinks continuously, a ground short in the wiring of terminal TC of the DLC3 or an internal ground short in each ECU is suspected.
