SUBJECT VEHICLES: 2011-2017 Hyundai Elantra, 2014 Elantra Coupe and 2009-2012 Elantra Touring.
RELEARN PROCEDURE? Yes.
SPECIAL TOOLS NEEDED? Yes, a Hyundai GDS (Global Diagnostic System) with the TPMS module.
The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) of the 2011-2017 Hyundai Elantra, 2014 Elantra Coupe and 2009-2012 Elantra Touring monitors the air pressure in the four road tires with wheel-mounted tire pressure sensors. To do this, the system uses a receiver, four radio frequency (RF) tire pressure sensors, two warning indicators on the instrument cluster, and a data circuit to perform system functions.
When tire pressure is below the allowed threshold or a rapid leak is detected, the low pressure warning light on the instrument cluster will be illuminated. If the system detects a receiver or sensor fault, or if it detects a fault that is external to the receiver or sensor, the TPMS warning indicator will be illuminated. If the fault is considered “critical,” the light will stay on throughout the entire ignition cycle.
The tire pressure sensor operates in two modes: stationary/rolling mode and sleep mode. In the stationary/rolling mode, the sensor will measure pressure and temperature every four seconds, and measure acceleration every 60 seconds. In sleep mode, the sensor enters a low current consumption state where no measurements are made in order to conserve battery power. All sensors are in this state when new. The sensor will not transmit unless requested to do so by the initiate command or when the vehicle accelerates to 20 mph (32 km/h).
Tire pressure monitor warning indicators
When the low tire pressure warning light comes on the air pressure of all tires needs checked and adjusted to the specified cold pressure listed on the vehicle certification label (found on the driver’s door or door pillar). If the tire is damaged, repair as necessary. Ensure the warning light goes off (this may take up to four minutes if the tire is not rapidly re-inflated). If the warning light stays on, recheck tire pressure. If tire pressure is OK, turn the wheel a quarter turn and wait another four minutes (the sensor may be in an RF null). If the hyundai elantra tire pressure light is still on or if the TPMS warning indicator is lit, there is a malfunction in the TPMS.
Reset procedures
NOTE: If the tire pressure sensor is replaced, it will need to be initiated. The TPMS is not affected by wheel and tire rotation. When the low tire pressure warning light comes on, check the air pressure of all tires and adjust to the ….
