Pinpoint Test A: No Communication With The TPMS Module/Unable To Enter Self-Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mercury Mountaineer and 2004 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: The Flex Probe Kit must be used for all test connections. Use of standard multimeter probes may damage wiring terminals.
  1. A1 CHECK CIRCUITS 1050 (LG/VT) AND 1003 (GY/YE) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Disconnect: TPMS Module C3183.
    • Key in ON position.
    • Measure the voltage between TPMS module connector C3183-5, circuit 1050 (LG/VT) harness side and ground and between C3183-3, circuit 1003 (GY/YE) harness side and ground.
    • Are the voltages greater than 10 volts? 

    Yes  GO to A2.

    No  REPAIR circuit 1050 (LG/VT) or circuit 1003 (GY/YE). TEST the system for normal operation.

  2. A2 CHECK CIRCUIT 1205 (BK) FOR OPEN 
    • Measure the resistance between TPMS module harness connector C3183-6, circuit 1205 (BK) and ground.
    • Is the resistance greater than 5 ohms? 

    Yes  REPAIR circuit 1205 (BK) TEST the system for normal operation.
