Toyota 4Runner: Test Mode Procedure

Toyota 4Runner Service Manual / Suspension / Tire Pressure Monitoring / Tire Pressure Warning System / Test Mode Procedure

TEST MODE PROCEDURE

1. PERFORM SIGNAL CHECK

HINT:

When entering signal check mode, the tire pressure warning ECU stores all the signal check DTCs first. After completing the signal check for each inspection item, the DTCs for systems that are determined to be normal by the tire pressure warning ECU are cleared.
The DTCs for other inspection items may not be cleared when only a certain signal is inspected.
When signal check returns to normal mode, all the signal check DTCs are cleared.

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.

(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(d) Turn the Techstream on.

(e) Enter the following menus: Chassis / Tire Pressure Monitor / Utility / Signal Check.

HINT:

Every time the test mode DTC clear conditions are satisfied, the tire pressure warning light turns on for 1 second. Then, the tire pressure warning light blinks at 0.125 second intervals.

(f) Start the engine and allow it to run at 1000 rpm for 3 seconds or more to check the engine speed signal (C2194/94).

(g) Drive the vehicle at 20 km/h (12 mph) or more for 3 seconds or more to check the vehicle speed signal (C2191/91).

(h) Loosen the valve core and rapidly reduce the pressure by at least 40 kPa (0.4 kgf/cm2, 5.8 psi) within 30 seconds to check the transmitter data (C2181/81 to C2184/84 or C2185/85*).

HINT:

The transmitter ID can be transmitted by rapidly reducing the tire pressure.

(i) Check that the tire pressure warning system test mode DTCs are cleared.
