DTC C2121/21: No Signal from Transmitter ID1; DTC C2122/22: No Signal from Transmitter ID2; DTC C2123/23: No Signal from Transmitter ID3; DTC C2124/24: No Signal from Transmitter ID4; DTC C2181/81: Transmitter ID1 not Received (Test Mode DTC); DTC C2182/82: Transmitter ID2 not Received (Test Mode DTC); DTC C2183/83: Transmitter ID3 not Received (Test Mode DTC); DTC C2184/84: Transmitter ID4 not Received (Test Mode DTC): Description

The tire pressure warning valve and transmitters that are installed in the tire and wheel assemblies measure the tire pressure of each wheel. The measured values are transmitted to the tire pressure warning ECU and receiver in the vehicle as radio waves. The ECU compares the measured tire pressure values with the tire pressure threshold. When the measured tire pressure value is less than this threshold, the warning light in the combination meter assembly illuminates.

The tire pressure warning valve and transmitters constantly send radio waves to the tire pressure warning ECU and receiver.

Under the conditions below, the tire pressure warning ECU and receiver is unable to receive the signals from the tire pressure warning valve and transmitters, and a DTC is stored.

HINT: 

When no transmitter ID is received from a tire pressure warning valve and transmitter for 20 minutes or more while the vehicle speed is more than 37 km/h (23 mph), a DTC from C2121/21 to C2124/24 is stored.

DTCs C2121/21 to C2124/24 can only be cleared by using the Techstream. DTCs C2181/81 to C2184/84 can be cleared when the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter sends a forced transmission signal or test mode ends. DTCs C2181/81 to C2184/84 are output only in test mode.

DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
C2121/21
C2122/22
C2123/23
C2124/24
Following condition (a) or (b) is met:
(a) When all conditions below are met:
  • Tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is not in stop mode.
  • Any transmitter ID is not received from tire pressure warning valve and transmitters.
  • Vehicle speed is more than 37 km/h (23 mph) or no vehicle speed signal is received for 20 minutes or more.

(b) When both conditions below are met:
  • Tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is not in stop mode.
  • No transmitter ID is received from tire pressure warning valve and transmitters for 20 minutes or more.
  • Tire pressure warning valve and transmitter
  • Tire pressure warning ECU and receiver
C2181/81
C2182/82
C2183/83
C2184/84
Test mode procedure is performed.
  • Tire pressure warning valve and transmitter
  • Tire pressure warning ECU and receiver
NOTE:

When any DTC from C2121/21 to C2124/24 is stored, DTC C2179/79 may be stored simultaneously. In such cases, troubleshoot DTCs C2121/21 to C2124/24 first, then troubleshoot DTC C2179/79.

HINT: 

It is necessary to perform the following procedure to identify the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter that is malfunctioning because it cannot be identified by the output DTC.
