PROCEDURE
| 1. | INSPECT MAIN BODY ECU (MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU) (OUTPUT WAVEFORM) |
| (a) Using an oscilloscope, check the waveform. NOTICE: With the connector connected, check from the backside of the connector. OK:
|
|
| Result | Proceed to |
|---|---|
| Waveform is as shown in the illustration. (Waveform alternates between 9.8 V or higher and 1.2 V or less) | A |
| Waveform does not change from 9.8 V or higher | B |
| Waveform does not change from 1.2 V or less | C |
| A | .gif) | REPLACE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING ECU AND RECEIVER |
| B | | REPLACE MAIN BODY ECU (MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU) |

| 2. | CHECK TERMINAL VOLTAGE (TIRE PRESSURE WARNING ECU AND RECEIVER OUTPUT) |
(a) Disconnect the G38 main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) connector.
(b) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| G38-11 (PRG) - Body ground | Power switch on (IG) | 9.8 V or higher |
| OK | | REPLACE MAIN BODY ECU (MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU) |
|
| 3. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TIRE PRESSURE WARNING ECU AND RECEIVER - MAIN BODY ECU (MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU)) |
(a) Turn the power switch off.
(b) Disconnect the N8 tire pressure warning ECU and receiver connector.
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| N8-5 (PRG) - G38-11 (PRG) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
| N8-5 (PRG) or G38-11 (PRG) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
| NG | | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
|
| 4. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (POWER SUPPLY - TIRE PRESSURE WARNING ECU AND RECEIVER) |
(a) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| N8-7 (+B) - Body ground | Always | 10 to 16 V |
| N8-1 (IG) - Body ground | Power switch on (IG) | 10 to 16 V |
| OK | | REPLACE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING ECU AND RECEIVER |
| NG | | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
