DTC 51, 53, 55, 57: Initialization Status of TPMS Control Unit is Non-completion

  1. Check the indicated location to make sure the wheel is a TPMS type with the tire pressure sensor.
    INITIALIZATION STATUS OF TPMS CONTROL UNIT IS NON-COMPLETION (1 OF 2)

    DTC Tire location
    51 Right-front
    53 Left-front
    55 Right-rear
    57 Left-rear

    Is a TPMS type wheel with a tire pressure sensor mounted on the vehicle? 

    1. YES  - Go to step  4.
    2. NO  - Go to step 2.
  2. Install a known-good TPMS wheel.
  3. To memorize the sensor ID, drive the vehicle above 15 mph (24 km/h) for 40 continuous seconds, or memorize the ID with the HDS (see MEMORIZING A TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR ID  ).
  4. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
  5. With the HDS, check the indicated tire for the pressure sensor signal.
    NOTE: If no response is shown on the HDS, turn the ignition switch OFF, rotate the tire 1/4 turn, then turn the ignition switch ON (II), and try again. If there is no response, repeat the procedure in the previous sentence until a response is shown.
    INITIALIZATION STATUS OF TPMS CONTROL UNIT IS NON-COMPLETION (2 OF 2)

    DTC Tire location
    51 Right-front
    53 Left-front
    55 Right-rear
    57 Left-rear

    Is there at least one response in one full turn of the tire? 

    1. YES  - The system is OK at this time. Clear the DTC with the HDS (see HOW TO CLEAR TPMS DTCS  ).
    2. NO  - Go to step 6.
  6. Install a wheel with a known-good tire pressure sensor on the vehicle. Memorize the sensor ID and check that wheel location again for a pressure sensor signal (repeat the procedure in step  5).

    Is there a response this time? 

    1. YES  - Replace the tire pressure sensor on the customer's wheel (see TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR REPLACEMENT  ).
    2. NO  - Go to step 7.
  7. Turn the ignition switch OFF, then disconnect TPMS control unit connectors A (14P) and B (20P) and the appropriate initiator connector (3P).

  8. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
  9. Check for continuity between the appropriate terminal in TPMS control unit connector A (14P) and the corresponding terminal in the initiator connector (3P) (see TPMS CONTROL UNIT CONNECTOR A (14P) AND INITIATOR CONNECTOR (3P) ).
