f. TRW TPMS Sensor and Module Replacement Procedures

Replacing TPMS Wheel Sensors





TRW TPMS wheel sensor service parts can be configured for either high-line or low-line systems. However, they are set to HIGH-line mode for shipping. After replacing TRW TPMS wheel sensors, follow the procedures below in the order described using the GDS.

1) Register the sensors.

2) Set sensor status - Verify that the sensors are in the correct mode (high-line or low-line).

NOTE:
When reading the sensors under Set Sensor Status, the TPMS tool will set the wheel sensor to the appropriate mode (high or low) according to the vehicle selected.

NOTE:
When reading a TPMS sensor, make sure that the vehicle is at least 10 feet away from other vehicles to prevent interference with other TPMS systems.

Replacing a TPMS Module





When replacing a TRW TPMS module, follow the procedures below in the order described using GDS.

1. Write the VIN.

2. Write the vehicle name.

3. Configure the TPMS module mode. This applies to both HIGH & LOW lines.

4. Register all 4 wheel sensors.

5. Set the sensor status.

NOTE:
The 'TPMS Mode Configuration' procedure is used to change the mode of TPMS the receiver from 'Storage' to 'Normal'. This procedure is required only when TRW TPMS receivers (both HIGH & LOW lines) are replaced. Lear and Continental TPMS receivers do not need the TPMS receiver mode setting.

NOTE:
See GDS section for procedures for registering sensors, setting sensor status, and setting TPMS mode configuration.
