Scheme 39
  1. CHECK POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) DTCs NOTE: Make sure the battery is fully charged before proceeding. Ignition on, engine not running. With the scan tool, read PCM DTCs. Are there any battery or charging systems DTCs? Yes Refer to appropriate DIAGNOSTIC CODE INDEX article and perform the appropriate diagnostic procedure. . No Go To 2 .
  2. VERIFY THE DTC IS ACTIVE With the scan tool, record and erase stored DTCs. Start the engine and run for two minutes. With the scan tool, read DTCs. Is the DTC active at this time? Yes Go To 3 . No Go To 5 .
  3. (A27) FUSED B(+) CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE Turn the ignition off to the lock position Disconnect the TPM Module harness connector. Ignition on, engine not running. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check (A27) Fused B(+) circuit in the TPM Module harness connector. NOTE: The test light must illuminate brightly. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery. Does the test light illuminate brightly? Yes Go To 4 . No Repair the (A27) Fused B(+) circuit for an open or high resistance. Perform the TPM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to «Standard Procedure»(ref-457858-S03993704192012030200000) .
  4. (Z906) GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE Turn the ignition off to the lock position Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, check the (Z906) Ground circuit in the TPM Module harness connector. NOTE: The test light must illuminate brightly. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery. Does the test light illuminate brightly? Yes Replace the Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Module in accordance with Service Information. Refer to «MODULE, Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) , Removal»(ref-457774-S30782043552012030200000) . Perform the TPM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to «Standard Procedure»(ref-457858-S03993704192012030200000) . No Repair the (Z906) Ground circuit for an open or high resistance. Perform the TPM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to «Standard Procedure»(ref-457858-S03993704192012030200000) .
  5. INTERMITTENT WIRING AND CONNECTORS Using the wiring diagrams as a guide, check all related splices and connectors for signs of water intrusion, corrosion, pushed out or bent terminals, and correct pin tension. Wiggle test the wiring harness and connectors while monitoring the scan tool data relative to this circuit. Look for the data to change or for the DTC to reset during the wiggle test. While monitoring the scan tool data relative to this circuit. Look for the data to change other than as expected or for the DTC to reset. Were any problems found? Yes Repair as necessary. Perform the TPM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to «Standard Procedure»(ref-457858-S03993704192012030200000) . No The conditions that caused this code to set are not present at this time.

With vehicle speed greater than 24 km/h (15 mph).

The TPM Module will monitor the signals from the four active road tire TPM Sensors. A loss of RF signal error is detected if data is not received or cannot be accurately decoded for a maximum of 20 minutes when the vehicle speed is above 24 km/h (15 mph). An internal sensor hardware error condition will be set when an error in the shock sensor, pressure sensor, or temperature sensor is detected. The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Lamp will flash on and off for 75 seconds then remain on solid when a system fault is detected.
