Tire Pressure Diagnostics

I was looking through the service manual today and apparantly there is a tire pressure diagnostic port somewhere in the vehicle, but it doesn't say where. By activation the diagnostic mode the tire pressure light will blink X amount of times to indicate which tire is low. Anyone have any clue where this harness is?

Yes, I actually did figure this out.

On my '04' there is a small plastic knock out near the hood pop. I popped the knock out out and behind it there was a small two pin white connector. I actually removed my whole lower dash, because it the harness was taped around a bundle of wires, but it can most likely be accessed without dropping the panel.

There is actaully only one wire in the connector. I grabbed a push button switch and put one side in to the connector, and I grounded the other side.

Then, you have to hold the button down for ~10 seconds and then let it go. Wait a few seconds and the light will turn off, and then it will blink X amount of times to indicate which tire is low. 1 flash is front left, but I forget the other ones (it is in the service manual). Kind of a neat little feature, especially if you live where the weather changes drastically and your light turns on a lot.

Make sure each tire has above 30psi of air in it!!!!



I was hoping there would be a way through the diag port to disable the light, but I couldn't find one.

The sequence is
1. driver front
2. Passenger front
3. Passenger rear
4. Driver rear
