83 www.moderntiredealer.com 2011-13 Chrysler 200 Two systems are available: a base system and a premium model SUBJECT VEHICLE: Chrysler 200, model years 2011-13. RELEARN PROCEDURE? Yes. SPECIAL TOOLS NEEDED? A TPM- RKE analyzer, special tool 9936, may be used with a scan tool. Te tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) monitors air pressure in the four road tires (excludes spare). Pressure in the spare tire is not monitored. Tere are two tire pressure monitoring systems available, a base system and a premium system. Te base system does not specify how many tires are low or where they are located. Te premium system does so. Te base TPMS consists of tire pressure monitoring sensors atached to each road wheel through the valve stem mounting hole, a central receiver module wireless control module (WCM), and an indicator lamp. Te premium TPMS consists of tire pressure monitoring sensors atached to each road wheel through the valve stem mounting hole, a wireless control module (WCM), three wheel sensor transponders located in three of the four wheel wells, an electronic display, and an indicator lamp. Upon detection of a warning or fault condition, the WCM will send a request to the module that controls the indicator lamp (and the text display if equipped with the premium system) via the vehicle bus system to illuminate or flash the indicator lamp. Also, upon detection of a warning or fault condition, the electronic display will send a request to sound the "chime." Te WCM will store all warning and fault conditions, placard pressure values and low-pressure threshold values (lamp ON and OFF) in memory that can be accessed through diagnostic communication. If new sensors are introduced to the vehicle, the data stored for the sensor being replaced will be deleted. Te WCM will store all wheel sensor IDs and locations and faults in memory that can be accessed through diagnostic communication. All other data values transmited from each active wheel sensor (not the spare tire) shall be stored in the WCM memory. Afer a sensor has been replaced, the WCM automatically learns and stores the sensor IDs while driving continuously above 15 mph (24 km/h) for 10 minutes. Te learning sequence will initiate when the vehicle has been stopped for more than 20 minutes. Warning indicators If the TPMS detects that the tire pres- sure in any road tire is going low, the TPMS will continuously illuminate an indicator lamp. Te premium TPMS system can display text messages and a tire pressure graphic display on the information cluster. If a low pressure condition is detected, in addition to a chime and indicator lamp turning ON, a graphic display of the pressure value(s) with the low tire(s) fashing will appear in the electronic vehicle information center (EVIC). Te light will remain on until tire pressure is properly set. Afer adjusting air pressure in a tire, allow approximately two minutes for the warning indicators to turn of. If a system fault is detected, the indicator lamp will fash on/of for 75 seconds, then remain on solid. See appropriate manufacturer service information. Reset procedures NOTE: If a tire pressure sensor has been replaced, the tire pressure sensors must be retrained. When the tire pressure warning light illuminates and warning message appears, immediately check air pressure of all tires and adjust to the specifed pressure. Afer adjusting air pressure, allow approximately two minutes for the warning indicators to turn of. TPMS Figure 1: Identifying the tire pressure sensor components (one of two).
