On-Board Diagnosis
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) ON-BOARD DIAGNOSIS
On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) Test Description
- The OBD test inspects the integrity and function of the TPMS and outputs the results when requested by the specific tests.
- On-board diagnostic test also:
- Provides a quick inspection of the TPMS usually performed at the start of each diagnostic procedure.
- Provides verification after repairs to ensure that no other faults occurred during service.
- The OBD test is divided into 3 tests:
- Read/Clear diagnostic results, PID monitor and active command mode.
Read/Clear diagnostic results
- This function allows you to read or clear DTCs in the TPMS control module memory.
PID/Data monitor and record
- This function allows you to access certain data values, input signals, calculated values, and system status information.
Active command modes
- This function allows you to control devices through the M-MDS.
Reading DTCs Procedure
1. Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
2. After the vehicle is identified, select the following items from the initialization screen of the M-MDS.
- When using the IDS (laptop PC)
1 Select "Self Test".
2 Select "Modules".
3 Select "IC".
- When using the PDS (Pocket PC)
1 Select "Module Tests".
2 Select "IC".
3 Select "Self Test".
3. Verify the DTC according to the directions on the screen.
- If any DTCs are displayed, perform troubleshooting according to the corresponding DTC inspection.
4. After completion of repairs, clear all DTCs stored in the TPMS.
Clearing DTCs Procedure
NOTE:
- If the DTC clearing procedure is implemented, the TPMS warning light and flat tire warning light turn off.
1. Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
2. After the vehicle is identified, select the following items from the initialization screen of the M-MDS.
- When using the IDS (laptop PC)
1 Select "Self Test".
2 Select "Modules".
3 Select "IC".
- When using the PDS (Pocket PC)
1 Select "Module Tests".
2 Select "IC".
3 Select "Self Test".
3. Verify the DTC according to the directions on the screen.
4. Press the clear button on the DTC screen to clear the DTC.
5. Verify that no DTCs are displayed.
PID/Data Monitor and Record Procedure
1. Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
2. After the vehicle is identified, select the following items from the initialization screen of the M-MDS.
- When using the IDS (laptop PC)
1 Select "DataLogger".
2 Select "Modules".
3 Select "IC".
- When using the PDS (Pocket PC)
1 Select "Module Tests".
2 Select "IC".
3 Select "DataLogger".
3. Select the applicable PID from the PID table.
4. Verify the PID data according to the directions on the screen.
NOTE:
- The PID data screen function is used for monitoring the calculated value of input/output signals in the module. Therefore, if the monitored value of the output parts is not within the specification, it is necessary to inspect the monitored value of input parts corresponding to the applicable output part control. In addition, because the system does not display an output part malfunction as an abnormality in the monitored value, it is necessary to inspect the output parts individually.
Active Command Modes Procedure
1. Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
2. After the vehicle is identified, select the following items from the initialization screen of the M-MDS.
- When using the IDS (laptop PC)
1 Select "DataLogger".
2 Select "Modules".
3 Select "IC".
- When using the PDS (Pocket PC)
1 Select "Module Tests".
2 Select "IC".
3 Select "DataLogger".
3. Select the active command modes from the PID table.
4. Perform the active command modes, inspect the operations for each parts.
- If the operation of output parts cannot be verified after the active command mode inspection is performed, this could indicate the possibility of an open or short circuit, sticking, or operation malfunction in the output parts.
Freeze Frame PID Data Access Procedure
1. Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
2. After the vehicle is identified, select the following items from the initialization screen of the M-MDS.
- This function is available for only the IDS (laptop PC)
1 Select "Body".
2 Select "TPMS Functions".
3 Select "Freeze Frame Data".
DTC Table
PID/DATA Monitor Table
*
Data transmission from the wheel unit occurs when the vehicle speed is 25 km/h {15.5 mph} or more. Due to this, the current air pressure and temperature data can only be displayed after the vehicle is driven at 25 km/h {15.5 mph} or more. Also, the ID_LAST, and tire pressure and internal tire air temperature data are erased when the instrument cluster connector and the battery terminal are disconnected. If the instrument cluster is replaced or the battery terminals are disconnected, drive the vehicle at 25 km/h {15.5 mph} or more and display the tire pressure PID after the data transmission.
