TPMS: 2020 Nissan Titan

DESCRIPTION & OPERATION

Tire Pressure Sensor

The tire pressure sensor integrated with the valve is installed in each wheel, and transmits the detected tire pressure and temperature signal in the form of the radio wave. The radio signal is received by the low tire pressure warning control unit (tire pressure receiver).

Service Notice and Precautions for TPMS

Warning: Radio waves could adversely affect electric medical equipment. Those who use a pacemaker should contact the electrical medical equipment manufacturer for the possible influences before use.

Low tire pressure warning lamp blinks for one minute, then turns ON when any malfunction occurs except low tire pressure. Erase the self-diagnosis memories for Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), or register the ID to turn low tire pressure warning lamp OFF.

ID registration is required when replacing tire pressure sensor or low tire pressure warning control unit.

For easy fill tire alert function, refer to the following.

• When inflating the tires, park the vehicle in the safe area and ensure the safety of the working area.
• Read and understand the easy fill tire alert function prior to use.
• Inflate the tires one at a time.
• If there is no response for approximately 15 seconds or more after inflating the tires, cancel the use of the easy fill tire alert function or move the vehicle approximately 3.2 feet backward or forward to try again. The air filler pressure may be weak or out of service area.
• Despite the high-precision TPMS pressure sensor, an indicated value may differ from that of the pressure gauge.
• Air pressure is measured rather high due to the rise in tire air temperature after driving.
• If TPMS is malfunctioning, the easy fill tire alert is unusable.

Replace grommet seal, valve core and valve cap of tire pressure sensor in TPMS when replacing each tire by reaching the wear limit.

Never install tire pressure sensor from other vehicles. The TPMS does not function if specified Genuine Nissan tire pressure sensor is not installed.

Because the tire pressure sensor conforms to North America radio law, the following items must be observed:

• The sensor may be used only in North America.
• It may not be used in any method other than the specified method.
• It must not be disassembled or modified.

ID REGISTRATION PROCEDURE

Description

This procedure must be performed after replacement of a tire pressure sensor or low tire pressure warning control unit.

Work Procedure

TPMS ID registration can be performed using one of the following procedures:

• Transmitter Activation tool [KV48105501 (J-45295-A)] using CONSULT — preferred method
• Signal Tech II tool (J-50190) using CONSULT — preferred method

• CONSULT only

TPMS REGISTRATION WITH TRANSMITTER ACTIVATION TOOL [KV48105501 (J-45295-A)] and CONSULT

1. Press push-button ignition switch ON.

2. Select "ID REGIST" in "Work support" mode of "AIR PRESSURE MONITOR."

3. Select "Start" on "ID REGIST" screen.

4. Hold the transmitter activation tool [KV48105501 (J-45295-A)] (1) against the side of the left front tire, near the valve stem.

5. With the tool held at a zero to 15 degree angle to the tire, press and hold the transmitter activation tool button until the indicator lamp turns OFF (approximately five seconds).

6. Repeat steps four and five for the remaining tires in this order: right front, right rear and left rear.

7. When ID registration is complete, check the following pattern at each wheel.

Turn Signal Lamp - 2 blinksCONSULT - "Yet (red)" "Done (green)"

8. After the ID registration procedure for all wheels is complete, press "End" on the CONSULT to finish ID registration.

9. Test drive the vehicle to ensure that the TPMS lamp is OFF and no warning messages are present.

TPMS REGISTRATION WITH SIGNAL TECH II TOOL (J-50190) using CONSULT

NOTE: The Signal Tech II must be updated with the newest software version in order to perform the below procedures. 

1. Adjust the tire pressure for all tires to the recommended value.

2. Press push-button ignition switch ON.

3. Select "ID REGIST" in "Work support" mode of "AIR PRESSURE MONITOR".

4. Select "Start" on "ID REGIST" screen.

5. Turn on the Signal Tech II tool [- (J-50190)].

6. Hold the Signal Tech II against the side of the left front tire, near the valve stem.

7. With the tool held at a zero to 15 degree angle to the tire, select "Activate Sensor" from the main menu, then press and release the "OK" button to activate the sensor. Once the sensor is activated, the vehicle parking lamps will flash and the sensor ID will appear on the CONSULT screen.

8. Repeat steps six and seven for the remaining tires in this order: right front, right rear and left rear.

9. When ID registration is complete, check the following pattern at each wheel.

Turn Signal Lamp - 2 blinksCONSULT - "Yet (red)" "Done (green)"

10. Once all sensors have been activated, select "End" on the CONSULT to finish ID registration.

11. Test drive the vehicle to ensure that the TPMS lamp is OFF and no warning messages are present.

TPMS REGISTRATION WITH SIGNAL TECH II TOOL (J-50190) without CONSULT

1. Adjust the tire pressure for all tires to the recommended value.

2. Turn on the Signal Tech II tool (J-50190) and select "TPMS Check" from the main menu.

3. Select vehicle model and year.

4. When prompted, hold the Signal Tech II against the side of the left front tire, near the valve stem.

5. With the tool held at a zero to 15 degree angle to the tire, press and release the "OK" button to activate the sensor. Once the sensor is activated, the tool will sound a tone and the tire pressure will be displayed.

6. Repeat steps four and five for the remaining tires in this order: right front, right rear and left rear.

7. When prompted, connect the tool to the data link connector. The tool will connect to the low tire pressure warning control unit, read the VIN, read sensor IDs and check for TPMS DTCs. Along with DTCs detected, one of the following will be displayed next to each wheel:

• N/A:  Not applicable because no ID found by the tool
• OK: Wheel and sensor are in original position
• NEW: New ID found compared to low tire pressure warning control unit
• RT: Wheel has been rotated
• Low Press: Low tire pressure

8. If no DTC is present or the repair has been completed, press the "OK" button to register the IDs and clear DTCs.

9. Test drive the vehicle to ensure that the TPMS lamp is OFF and no warning messages are present.

10. Print a Signal Tech II Audit Report for your records. Refer to the Signal Tech II User Guide for instructions.

TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

REMOVAL

1. Remove wheel and tire using power tool.

2. Remove valve cap and valve core to deflate the tire.

3. Remove the valve stem nut and allow tire pressure sensor to fall into tire.

Note: If the tire is to be reused, apply a matching mark on the tire in line with the position of the valve stem assembly for the purpose of wheel and tire balance adjustment after installation.

4. Lubricate the tire outside bead well with a suitable non-silicone lubricant, and remove outside of tire from the wheel.

Caution:

• Do not use silicone lubricant. Use of silicone lubricant will deteriorate the tire and wheel.
• Be sure not to damage the wheel or tire pressure sensor.
• Do not allow lubricant to make contact with tire pressure sensor.
• Verify that the tire pressure sensor is at the bottom of the tire while performing the above.

5. Lubricate the tire inside bead well with a suitable non-silicone lubricant, and remove inside of tire from the wheel. 

Caution:

• Do not use silicone lubricant. Use of silicone lubricant will deteriorate the tire and wheel.
• Be sure not to damage the wheel.

6. Set the tire onto the tire changer turntable so that the tire pressure sensor inside the tire is located close to the valve stem hole in the wheel.

7. Turn the tire so that the valve stem hole in the wheel is at the bottom and bounce so that the tire pressure sensor inside the tire is near the valve stem hole in the wheel. Carefully lift tire onto turn table and position the valve stem hole in the wheel (and tire pressure sensor) 270 degrees from mounting/dismounting head. Be careful not to damage the wheel or tire pressure sensor.

8. Remove the tire pressure sensor from the tire.

9. Remove the grommet seal.
