1. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Overview
The TPMS system is designed to monitor tire pressure and alert the driver when a tire
is significantly underinflated. Hyundai vehicles feature 2 types of systems termed
“High-Line” and “Low-Line”. High-Line systems are able to display a low pressure
condition for each tire position, while Low-Line systems do not indicate which tire is
underinflated.
Hyundai uses three suppliers for the TPMS systems across the vehicle line-up, TRW,
Lear, and Siemens. Each of these systems operate in a very similar manner, but have
some minor variations in operation as described in this TSB.

3. Detailed TPMS Information
a. Low Tire Pressure Warning Light ON - Low Tire Pressure

The low tire pressure warning light will illuminate when there is a significant low-
pressure condition within a tire, or if a rapid loss of air pressure is detected. There are
a number of environmental factors that can affect the tire pressure, and therefore
potentially illuminate a low pressure warning light.
The main two environmental factors are air temperature and location elevation. Colder
air will reduce tire pressure, while hotter air will increase tire pressure. High elevation
may also increase tire pressure.
If a customer comments that the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) tire
pressure warning lamp is "ON" for the first few miles of driving after a cold start or stays
"ON" continuously, particularly in cold ambient temperatures, please be sure to inform
the customer that the system is operating correctly to warn of a low tire pressure
condition, and a system diagnosis may not be required. The customer should be made
aware of the following:
• This condition may be caused by low tire pressure if the tire pressure falls below
the low warning threshold for any reason including low temperature.
NOTE: For vehicles equipped with the TPMS, the threshold pressure limit is 25%
below the vehicle's recommended cold tire pressure, shown on the
placard located on the driver side B-pillar.
• Recommend that the customer inflate tires when they are cold or compensate for
being hot by inflating the tire to a pressure to 3 or 4 psi above specification.
• Tire pressures should be checked after traveling between areas at significantly
different elevations. Adjust tire pressures accordingly.
IMPORTANT: Tire pressure must be set at the specification found on the placard
located on the driver side B-pillar when the tires are COLD.

Bulletin Number
10-SS-002

NOTE: The tire pressure will vary with temperature by approximately 1 psi (6.9
kPa) for every 12°F (6.5°C).
• Recommend that the customer check and adjust all tire pressures, including the
spare tire, once a month. (For additional information, suggest that the customer
refer to the vehicle owner's manual).
NOTE: Adjusting the tire air pressure is included in the PDI process and is not
covered under normal warranty. Tire air pressure adjustment is a normal
maintenance item.
NOTE: If you need to verify that your dealership air pressure gauge matches the
TPMS sensor air pressure readings, you can use the “Current Data” mode
on the TPMS checker to read the current pressure in a tire. Then read the
tire pressure with your gauge. The readings should be within 2 psi. If
not, calibrate or replace the gauge. Another potential reason for a
reading difference is elevation. Repeat for all gauges normally used
during PDI.

 b. NF Sonata TPMS Sensors: 2008 vs. 2009 model year Part Number
Change

Confirm that the vehicle is equipped with TPMS and verify that the replacement sensor
service part is the correct application for the model year of the vehicle and is in 'Low
Normal' mode when installing onto the vehicle (for example, an 08 MY Sonata TPMS
sensor is not interchangeable with the 09 MY Sonata TPMS sensor). Please verify the
applicable MY part number as shown below.
• 08' MY Valve - TPMS Sensor P/N = 52933-1F000
• 09' MY Valve - TPMS Sensor P/N = 52933-2F000

c. TPMS VALVE STEM DAMAGE

Case #1: TPMS valve stem breakage
The valve stem may break during tire inflation or deflation while improperly using a long
air-filling nozzle tube as shown.

Case #2: TPMS valve stem fractured

Symptom: Valve stem is fractured as

shown

Page 9 of 25
CAUTION: DO NOT reuse the valve core if it has been removed. If the valve core
has been removed, install only a NON BRASS type valve core as a
replacement.

Cautions during TPMS sensor removal and installation:

1. Removal:
• (1) Start unseating the tire bead about 6 inches (15cm) from the TPMS valve
stem.
• (2) Make sure that the removal tool does not touch the TPMS sensor while
unseating the tire bead.
• (3) When unfastening the TPMS sensor, hold it securely without rocking.

Hold S ecurely

2. Installation:
• (1) Do not exceed the allowed torque and DO NOT use electric or pneumatic
tools. Tightening torque = 3.0 lb. ft. (4 Nm, 0.4 Kg. m)
NOTE: Always use a new TPMS valve nut.
• (2) Attach the sensor to the rim firmly.
• (3) Hold the sensor and assemble the valve stem to the sensor by hand.
• (4) Secure the TPMS sensor by rotating the valve stem clockwise with a torque
wrench.
• (5) After installing the TPMS sensor, check to ensure it is attached to the rim
firmly.
• (6) Start seating the tire bead about 15cm (6 inches) from the TPMS valve stem.
• (7) Make sure that the tool does not touch the TPMS sensor while seating the tire
bead.

 d. TPMS Valve Stem Cap Corrosion:

Some vehicles are equipped with aluminum valve stem caps. If aluminum valve stem
caps corrode, they may become difficult to remove and may lead to unnecessary
replacement of the TPMS wheel sensor assembly.
Instead of replacing the assembly, it is recommended to replace only the aluminum tire
valve stem cap with a grey-colored plastic part. Part number: 52933-1F400.

e. Electromagnetic Interference
Symptom/Condition:
The TPMS malfunction indicator lamp may be illuminated and the trouble codes
C1312~C1315 (TPMS sensor RF, Radio Frequency, channel failure) may be stored if
the vehicle is moving around electric power supply cables or radio transmitters at police
stations, government and public offices, broadcasting stations, military installations,
airports, transmitting towers, etc. External electronic devices connected to the vehicle's
power outlets (notebook computer, seat warmer, massager, coolers, GPS navigation,
mobile phone charger, etc.) may also cause this condition.
Countermeasure/Action:
The TPMS malfunction indicator light generally turns off after the vehicle is removed
from such interference.
NOTE: In the case of the TRW TPMS, the TPMS indicator lamp turns off after the
vehicle is removed from the interference and the ignition switch is turned
off and on.
C1312~C1315 (TPMS initiator RF channel failure) set condition
- If the TPMS sensor learning fails or no RF signal is transmitted from the learned
TPMS sensor, while driving the vehicle for 25 minutes over 20 kph (12 mph), the
trouble codes C1312, C1313, C1314 or C1315 will be set. In addition, as mentioned
above, the trouble codes may be set by electromagnetic interference with the TPMS.
- Check communication between the TPMS sensors and a scan tool. If a TPMS sensor
does not transmit any data to the scan tool, replace the TPMS sensor.
- If all four TPMS sensors are checked and working correctly, trace the cause of
electromagnetic interference. Drive the vehicle out of the strong electric field or remove
the external electronic devices that may cause the condition. Drive the vehicle for
about 5 minutes to verify that the condition is corrected.

 f. TRW TPMS Sensor and Module Replacement Procedures
Replacing TPMS Wheel Sensors
TRW TPMS wheel sensor service parts
can be configured for either high-line or
low-line systems. However, they are
set to HIGH-line mode for shipping.
After replacing TRW TPMS wheel
sensors, follow the procedures below in
the order described using the GDS.
1) Register the sensors (page 20).
2) Set sensor status (page 21) - Verify
that the sensors are in the correct mode
(high-line or low-line).
NOTE: When reading the sensors under Set Sensor Status, the TPMS tool will
set the wheel sensor to the appropriate mode (high or low) according to
the vehicle selected.
NOTE: When reading a TPMS sensor, make sure that the vehicle is at least 10
feet away from other vehicles to prevent interference with other TPMS
systems.
Replacing a TPMS Module
When replacing a TRW TPMS module,
follow the procedures below in the order
described using GDS.
1. Write the VIN (page 16).
2. Write the vehicle name (page 17).
3. Configure the TPMS module mode
(page 22). This applies to both
HIGH & LOW lines.
4. Register all 4 wheel sensors (page
20).
5. Set the sensor status (page 21).
NOTE: The 'TPMS Mode Configuration' procedure is used to change the mode of
TPMS the receiver from 'Storage' to 'Normal'. This procedure is required
only when TRW TPMS receivers (both HIGH & LOW lines) are replaced.
Lear and Continental TPMS receivers do not need the TPMS receiver
mode setting.

 g. Lear Snap-In Valves
Beginning with 2010 Santa Fe, a Lear TPMS valve does not use a nut to mount to the
wheel. These new valves are “snap-in.”

The TPMS sensor and snap-in valve are separable by removing the 7mm prevailing
torque hex nut. This hex nut should never be reused.
To remove and install the snap-in valve, a standard valve stem puller tool is required.

CAUTION: When installing a snap-in valve, ensure that the valve bulb is fully
seated and resting on the rim.
CAUTION: Torque the prevailing torque hex nut to 1.2 Nm (10.6 Lb-Inches). Do
not overtorque.

NOTE: Depending on the system, it may take up to 2 minutes to read a TPMS

wheel sensor.
10. Continue to read the sensors in the order defined by the GDS (FL, FR, RR, RL).
11. After reading all sensors, reconnect the TPMS tool to the GDS. The GDS will
display the read sensor IDs. Click “Write” to complete the registration process.
b. Set Sensor Status
1. To set the wheel sensor status, select “Set Sensor Status” from the Vehicle S/W
Management screen.
2. Similar to registering sensors, the GDS will prompt the user to walk around the
vehicle starting at the front left wheel to read the TPMS wheel sensors.
3. When finished reading the sensors, the
GDS will display the 4 sensors’
information as shown.

4. From this screen, the user is able to view each sensor’s status: ID; temperature,
pressure, mode (high or low), etc.
IMPORTANT: It is critical that the sensor status is correct according to the
vehicle TPMS system (high or low line). If it is set incorrectly the
TPMS malfunction indicator will illuminate. Verify that the wheel
sensors are in the correct mode.
NOTE: When reading the sensors under Set Sensor Status, the TPMS tool will
set the wheel sensor to the appropriate mode (high or low) according to
the vehicle selected.

Page 21 of 25
 c. Set TPMS Module Mode
NOTE: TPMS module mode setting is required for TRW systems only. This is
necessary to do when replacing a TRW TPMS module, as the modules
are shipped in storage mode. The TPMS malfunction lamp will blink
when a new module is installed. This indicates that the module mode
must be changed from storage to Normal mode.
NOTE: When replacing a TPMS module for a TRW system, follow the procedure
on page 14.
1. To set the TPMS module mode, select “TPMS Mode Configuration” from the
Vehicle S/W Management screen.
2. With the vehicle ignition ON, engine
OFF, use the drop down menu to
select the ‘Normal’ mode for the TPMS
