Does the body control module control TPMS?
For the Body Control Module (BCM) to enter Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor training mode, the BCM must receive valid inputs from the stoplamp switch (off) and ignition switch (run), and it must receive valid vehicle speed sensor input (0 km/h [0 mph]).
What are the 4 types of information that may be sent to the TPMS control module from the sensor?
Some TPMS tools will also gather information from the TPMS sensor, such as ID number, tire pressure, and tire temperature. This can be very handy as a quick function-check before replacing tires on a car with a TPMS light on.
Is there a way to do TPMS without a fob?
We use a scanner called Bartech and it can do it without key FOB. Click to expand… Actually no tire store and only a dealership can put the car into relearn mode on a vehicle that requires the OEM key fobs to activate the relearn process.
How does a direct TPMS system work on a car?
Direct TPMS systems use TPMS sensors inside the wheel to accurately report pressure data to the vehicle’s ECU in real time. Direct systems include Asian, domestic and European vehicles. An indirect TPMS system uses an ABS system to monitor the speed of the wheel in order to approximate tire pressure.
What does the tire pressure monitor ( TPM ) do?
The RKE and Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) are functions of the Remote Control Door Lock Receiver (RCDLR) with the exception of the 2006 Lucerne which uses the EBCM since there are no tire pressure sensors mounted inside the wheels. Open the door to wake up the serial data bus, then verify the RCDLR functions normally.
Why is my TPMS sensor not working on MY Volt?
Just like you say, two dashes. The problem is that the TPMS sensor has lost communication. My dealer reprogrammed all four tires (which took one minute with a portable gadget that looked like a fancy walkie-talkie, while I sat in my Volt in their parking lot).

What to do if your TPMS won’t work?
Do not replace the RCDLR. Remove and replace the fuse that powers the RCDLR to restore communications. Press Lock, Unlock and Panic together and hold for 3-5 seconds. Perform transmitter learn procedure. Verify all functions. This can be done using the scan tool and monitoring the transmitter commands.
Why is my tire pressure monitoring system not working?
The other cause for failure might be the heat on a hot Summer day cooking the receiver beyond its rating. Still waiting for the dealer to call me in for replacement of the module. Both TPMS and VOB are still weak and failing more every week. Most times the back hatch won’t open now due to the poor range.
How does a Ford tire pressure monitor work?
The Ford will indicate on the dashboard, and the GM will light a turn signal bulb, to show which corner to start with. Let air out of the tire in that position until the horn toots, then move to the next indicated tire.
