C2514

Component Location





General Description

The TPMS receiver unit must provide outputs continuously to drive the indicator lamps. The TREAD/ wheel location indicator lamp on when pressure in one or more tires associated with the TPMS receiver unit have reported a pressure below the warning level threshold. The TPMS warning indicator lamp on when the TPMS receiver unit has detected a system fault.

DTC Description

This DTC indicates that the TREAD/ Wheel location/ DTC warning lamp is short circuit and therefore cannot be turned on. The most likely failure is harness/ digital clock(warning lamp) module/ connector/ receiver short circuit.

DTC Detecting Condition





Terminal and Connector Inspection

1. Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness and terminal condition. Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical damage.
2. Thoroughly check all connectors (and connections) for looseness, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, and/or damage.
3. Has a problem been found?
YES
> Repair if necessary and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
NO
> Go to "Charging System Inspection" procedure.

Control Circuit Inspection

1. Engine "OFF"
2. Disconnect digital clock(warning lamp) module connector and TPMS receiver connector.
3. Engine "ON"
4. Measure voltage between terminal "12 (RR LED)/13 (FR LED)/14 (RL LED)/15 (FL LED)/16 (TREAD)/17 (TPMS)" of TPMS receiver harness connector and chassis ground.

Specifications: 0V





5. Is the measured voltage within specifications?
YES
> Substitute with a known-good TPMS receiver and check for proper operation.
> If the problem is corrected, replace TPMS receiver and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
NO
> Check for short to power in control harness.
> Repair as necessary and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

Verification of Vehicle Repair

After a repair, it is essential to verify that the fault has been corrected.
1. Connect TPMS exciter or scantool and select "Diagnostic Trouble Codes(DTCs)" mode
2. Using a TPMS exciter or scantool, Clear DTC.
3. Operate the vehicle within DTC Enable conditions in General information.
4. Are any DTCs present ?
YES
> Go to the applicable troubleshooting procedure.
NO
> System performing to specification at this time.
