MTD October 2014 SUBJECT VEHICLE: 2005-11 Volvo V Series. RELEARN PROCEDURE? Yes. SPECIAL TOOLS NEEDED? Yes. A Low Frequency Initiator (sensor activation tool) can be used. Te tire pressure monitor system (TPMS) on the 2005-11 Volvo V Series uses sensors mounted in the tire valves to check infation pressure levels. When the vehicle is moving at a speed of 25 mph or faster, these sensors transmit infation pressure data to a receiver located in the vehicle. Tere are programmed tables in the control module containing the recommended air pressure for the vehicle. Te information about the air pressure in the tires transmited from the sensors is compared with the programmed values in the control module. If the tire pressure deviates too much from the recommended value a warning message is displayed in the driver information module (DIM) NOTE: Tis system may not function properly if the vehicle is equipped with wheels that do not have an appropriate tire pressure sensor. Tire pressure monitor warning indicators When low infation pressure is detected, the TPMS will illumi- nate the tire pressure warning light in the instrument panel, and will display a message in the text window. Te wording of this message is determined by the degree of in- fation pressure loss. If w heel s w ithout TPMS sensors are mounted on the ve- hicle, TIRE PRESS S Y S T S E R V I C E REQUIRED will be displayed each time the vehicle is driven above 25 mph for 10 minutes or more. When the tire pres- sure warning message has been displayed a n d t h e w a r n i n g light comes on, im- mediately check the air pressure of all tires and adjust to the specifed pressure listed on the tire label. In certain cases, it may be necessary to drive the vehicle for 10 minutes or more at 25 mph or faster. Make sure the warning light goes of. If the warning light stays on, there is a malfunction in the TPMS. See appropriate manufacturer service information. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will fash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. Tis sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start- ups as long as the malfunction exists. Reset procedures NOTE: Volvo vehicles do not require a formal reset procedure for any of the TPMS functions. Tire pressure sensor IDs are automatically programmed while driving. When the tire pressure warning message has been displayed and the warning light comes on, immediately check the air pressure of all tires and adjust to the specifed pressure listed on the tire label. In certain cases, it may be necessary to drive the vehicle for 10 minutes or more at 25 mph or faster. Tis will erase the warning text and the warning light will go out. Tire pressure sensor learn NOTE: When installing TPMS sensors, the vehicle must be parked for at least 15 minutes with the ignition of. If the vehicle is driven before 15 minutes has elapsed, a TPMS error message will be displayed. Afer replacing tire pressure sensors, the control module does not need programming. Te control module automatically contacts the sensor itself afer driving the vehicle at least 25 mph for 10 minutes or more. Te TPMS indicator light will go out when all sensor IDs are learned. NOTE: A Low Frequency Initiator (sensor activation tool) can be used instead of driving. Demounting/mounting procedures CAUTION: Te tire should be demounted from the wheel using the tire changer manufacturer's instructions. Use of their specifc information will avoid damage during the demount- ing/mounting procedures. CAUTION: Only factory-mounted wheels are equipped with TPMS sensors in the valves. NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with a temporary spare tire, this tire does not have a TPMS sensor. CAUTION: When infating tires with TPMS valves, press the pump's mouthpiece straight onto the valve to help avoid bending or otherwise damaging the valve.
