Pinpoint Test

  1. CHECK THE TPM MODULE VOLTAGE SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Disconnect: TPM Module.
    3. Ignition ON.
    4. Measure:
      TPM Module Ground
      G08037340
      G08037341
      C3641 Ground
      Pin Circuit Measurement Pin Circuit
      4 SBP26 (YE/RD)
      G08037342
      - -

    Is the voltage greater than 11 volts? 

    1. Yes: GO to .
    2. No: VERIFY the BCM fuse 26 (5A) is OK. If OK, REPAIR the circuit. If not OK, REFER to the appropriate wiring diagrams to identify the possible causes of the circuit short. REFER to OEM FUSE AND RELAY INFORMATION and OEM WIRING DIAGRAMS .
  2. CHECK THE TPM MODULE GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Measure:
      TPM Module Ground
      G08037343
      G08037344
      C3641 Ground
      Pin Circuit Measurement Pin Circuit
      6 GD214 (BK/BU)
      G08037345
      - -

    Is the resistance less than 3 ohms? 

    1. Yes: GO to .
    2. No: REPAIR the circuit.
  3. CHECK THE MS-CAN  CIRCUITS BETWEEN THE TPM MODULE AND THE DLC FOR AN OPEN
    1. Measure:
      TPM Module DLC
      G08037346
      G08037347
      C3641 C251
      Pin Circuit Measurement Pin Circuit
      1 VDB06 (GY/OG)
      G08037348
      3 VDB06 (GY/OG)
      2 VDB07 (VT/OG)
      G08037349
      11 VDB07 (VT/OG)

    Are the resistances less than 3 ohms? 

    1. Yes: CONNECT the negative battery cable. GO to .
    2. No: REPAIR the circuit in question.
  4. CHECK FOR CORRECT TPM MODULE OPERATION
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Disconnect and inspect the TPM connector.
    3. Repair:
      • corrosion (replace connector or terminals - clean module pins)
      • damaged or bent pins - replace terminals/pins
      • pushed-out pins - replace pins as necessary
    4. Reconnect the TPM connector. Make sure it seats and latches correctly.
    5. Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present? 

    1. Yes: CHECK OASIS  for any applicable TSBs  . If a TSB exists for this concern, discontinue this test and follow TSB instructions. If no TSBs  address this concern, INSTALL a new TPM module. REFER to TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR (TPM) MODULE .
    2. No: The system is operating correctly at this time. Concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
