The descriptions of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCâs), generated if a fault is detected in the TPMS, may identify the general monitoring system or circuit where a fault has been detected, but may not be able determine the specific module, component, or circuit location at fault. Therefore, DTC information can be misinterpreted by the technician resulting in excessive time, or unnecessary replacement of TPMS module components to rectify the TPMS fault.
