Wheels and Tires

Overview
This section will provide basic information to assist in the diagnosis of tire-related faults.

Tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) have been introduced on 2006 my vehicles and this section will also provide information to assist in the diagnosis of the system.

For information on the operation of the systems:

TPMS inspection and verification
1. Verify the customer complaint.

NOTE: Record any messages displayed by the system.

2. Visually inspect for obvious mechanical or electrical faults.





3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.
4. Use the approved diagnostic system or a scan tool to retrieve any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) before moving onto the DTC index.
^ Make sure that all DTCs are cleared following rectification.
