STEP 2. Diagnostic trouble code recheck after resetting 
CAN bus lines
Q: Is the DTC C1910, C1920, C1930, C1940, C1911, C1921, 

C1931 or C1941 set?
YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  The procedure is complete.

STEP 3. Check for TPMS transmitter.
Identify the TPMS transmitter which the DTC is set by TPMS 
transmitter check (Refer to 

P.42C-99

).

NOTE: The TPMS transmitter which cannot be checked may 
be faulty or the ID code may not be registered, thus do not 
replace it, but register the ID code. If the transmitter is faulty, it 
is replaced in the ID code registration process. 
Q: Are there any TPMS transmitters which are identified?

YES : Among the checked TPMS transmitters, replace the 

TPMS transmitters to which the DTC is set. Then 
register the ID codes (Refer to 

P.42C-10

). Then go to 

Step 4.

NO :  Even when no transmitter is checked, register the ID 

codes (Refer to 

P.42C-99

). Then go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Diagnostic trouble code recheck after register the 
ID codes
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Check if the DTC is set.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the DTC C1910, C1920, C1930, C1940, C1911, C1921, 

C1931 or C1941 set?
YES : Replace the WCM and register the ID codes (Refer to 

P.42C-10

). Then start over at Step 1.

NO :  The procedure is complete.

DTC C1912: Tire inflation pressure warning 1

 

DTC C1922: Tire inflation pressure warning 2

 

DTC C1932: Tire inflation pressure warning 3

 

DTC C1942: Tire inflation pressure warning 4

CAUTION

If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incorrect 
diagnostic trouble code may be set. Prior to this diagno-
sis, diagnose the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 54C, 
Trouble code diagnosis 

P.54C-16

).

.

DTC SET CONDITION

When the tire pressure included in the signal from the TPMS 
transmitter is less than the specified value, WCM sets this 
code.

P.42C-117

).

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Repair or replace it. Then go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Diagnostic trouble code check
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position, and adjust the 

pressure to the recommended tire pressure. 

(2) Check if the DTC is set.
Q: Is DTC C1912, C1922, C1932 or C1942 set?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO :  The procedure is complete.

STEP 5. Diagnostic trouble code check
(1) Drive the vehicle for five minutes.

NOTE: Even within 5 minutes, if the TPMS warning light 
goes out, finish the driving and perform the operation (2). 

(2) Check if the DTC is set.
Q: Is DTC C1912, C1922, C1932 or C1942 set?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO :  The procedure is complete.

STEP 6. Tire pressure check by scan tool
(1) Perform the transmitter check using the scan tool (Refer to 

P.42C-99

), and check the tire pressure values of all the 

wheels. 

(2) Check the tire pressure of all the wheels using the tire 

pressure gauge.

DTC SET CONDITION

DTC C1913, C1923, C1933, C1943

• The TPMS transmitter detects if the wheel is rotated by the 

acceleration sensor and sends the signals to WCM. When 
the TPMS transmitter judges that the acceleration sensor is 
failed, the failure signal is send to WCM, and WCM sets this 
code.

DTC C1914, C1924, C1934, C1944

• The TPMS transmitter detects if the tire pressure sensor is 

normal and sends the signal to WCM. When the TPMS 
transmitter judges that the tire pressure sensor is failed, the 
failure signal is send to WCM, and WCM sets this code.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

The most likely causes for this DTC to set are:

• Low battery that is incorporated into the TPMS transmitter

• Damaged wiring harness and connector

• Registered IDs unmatched

• Malfunction of TPMS transmitter

• Malfunction of WCM
