VEHICLE: 2009 Mazda B2300 MTX
MILEAGE: 52Kmiles
RELEVANT EVENTS: 42KMiles New set of 4 tires (P225/70-15 100T KUMHO SOLUS K21)
ISSUE: TPMS Light started coming on ~1,000 miles after installing the new tires.
- Seemingly randomly, the TPMS light will blink for about a minute then remain light.
--- As I understand it this means that the TPMS is unable to monitor tire pressures.
- The TPMS light will then go out with no intervention.
- Checking the tire pressure shows the pressures all 4 tires to be correct, tested with multiple gauges.
- Can happen at any speed from 0-90 MPH.
- If the light is on when I shut off the engine, it may/may not be on when I restart it.
- If it comes on while driving, it will eventually go off while continuing to drive.
- No OBD codes
ACTIONS TAKEN SO FAR:
- Retrained sensors:
-- Cold tires properly inflated.
-- Retrained using Motorcraft TPMS19 as follows:
-- 1. Inflate all tires to pressure listed on tire placard
-- 2. Turn ignition to OFF position and press and release brake pedal.
-- 3. Cycle ignition from OFF to RUN position 3 times, ending in RUN position.
-- 4. Press and release brake pedal.
-- 5. Turn ignition to OFF position.
-- 6. Cycle ignition from OFF to RUN position 3 times, ending in RUN position.
-- 7. Horn will sound once and TPMS telltale will blink once train mode is initiated. If equipped with message center, it will display TRAIN LF TIRE. Place antennae of learn tool on sidewall of LF tire 180 degrees from valve stem to activate sensor. Horn will sound once sensor has been recognized, Repeat step for RF, RR, and LR tires.
-- 8. After training LR tire the message center will display TRAINING MODE COMPLETE. If the vehicle is not equipped with the message center display, successful completion can be verified by turning the ignition to the OFF position and not hearing the horn sound. If the horn sounds, the training procedure must be repeated.
Truck runs great otherwise. No problems. So my questions are, what's the procedure to trouble shoot this issue? How do you determine if the problem is with one or more of the TPMS modules in the wheels or with the on-board TPMS system?
Yeah I know if I check my tire pressure regularly, and I do, then I'm safe. I just what to get it working as it should.
Thanks,
Milton
