Last Warning Event Parameter Identification (PID) Definitions

The TPMS uses the TPMS last warning event Parameter Identifications (PIDs) to store detailed information about the last 5 times the TPMS warning indicator was activated. These Parameter Identifications (PIDs) can be used to acquire more information about a particular TPMS event, but must be used carefully.

PIDs Definition
EVT1_AGE_IGN through EVT5_AGE_IGN The number of key cycles since the TPMS was activated. This Parameter Identification (PID) cycles from zero to 255 and then starts over from zero again. This can be used to determine how long ago a TPMS event occurred and the time (in key cycles) between events.
EVT1_TR_LOC through EVT5_TR_LOC This is the last programmed location for the TPMS sensor identifier causing each TPMS event. Due to tire rotation, the sensor may no longer be at the original location. It is suggested that all the Parameter Identifications (PIDs) be recorded, the system retrained, and then the sensor identifier Parameter Identifications (PIDs) be used to pinpoint the actual location of each sensor.
EVT1_PSI through EVT5_PSI This is the tire pressure associated with each TPMS indicator event. This can be used along with the function code to clearly identify the TPMS events that were strictly due to low pressure. It can also be used to determine when a sensor is transmitting inaccurate tire pressure.
EVT1_SNSR_ST through EVT5_SNSR_ST
  • Describes the warning status of each TPMS event by using the information received from the TPMS_STAT Parameter Identification (PID). If there is a communication concern, the status could be NORMAL.
  • UNKNOWN
  • NORMAL (normal operation)
  • LOW (low pressure event)
  • FAULT (sensor fault or system fault)
EVT1_SNSR_ID through EVT5_SNSR_ID This is the identifier of the sensor involved in each TPMS event. EVT1 is the most recent event that triggered the TPMS warning indicator.
