DTC 41: Abnormal Signal Reception Error

  1. Check all four wheels to make sure they are the TPMS type with the tire pressure sensor properly mounted in each one.

    Is each pressure sensor mounted properly? 

    YES  - Go to step  9.

    NO  - Go to step 2.

  2. Install known-good TPMS wheels.
  3. To memorize the new sensor ID(s), drive the vehicle above 15 mph (24 km/h) for 40 continuous seconds, or memorize the ID(s) with the HDS (see MEMORIZING THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR ID  ).
  4. Test-drive the vehicle and monitor the VSP signal with the HDS.

    Is the VSP signal OK? 

    YES  - Go to step  8.

    NO  - Go to step 5.

  5. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  6. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
  7. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

    Is DTC 85 indicated? 

    YES  - Go to the DTC 85 troubleshooting (see DTC 85: CAN DATA ERROR  ).

    NO  - Check for loose terminals and poor connections at the TPMS control unit. If necessary, substitute a known-good TPMS control unit and recheck.

  8. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  9. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
  10. With the HDS check that all the wheels are receiving and transmitting signals. If no response is shown on the HDS, turn the ignition switch OFF, rotate the appropriate tire 1/4 turn, then turn the ignition switch ON (II), and try again.

    Is there at least one response from each wheel, in one full turn of the tire? 

    YES  - The system is OK at this time. Clear the DTC (see HOW TO RETRIEVE TPMS DTCS  ).

    NO  - Check for loose terminals and poor connections at the TPMS control unit. If necessary, substitute a known-good TPMS control unit and recheck.
