TPMS: Buick Enclave – 2008-2013 - Modern Tire Dealer
SUBJECT VEHICLE: 2008 – 2013 Buick Enclave. You also need the tire pressure monitor diagnostic tool (EL-46079/J-46079). The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) on the 2008–2013 Buick Enclave alerts the driver when a large change in the pressure of one tire exists while the vehicle is being driven. The system also will display individual tire pressures and their locations on the driver information center (DIC). The TPMS system uses the uses the engine control module (ECM), body control module (BCM), instrument panel cluster (IPC), DIC, remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR), a radio frequency (RF) transmitting pressure sensor in each wheel/tire... In this mode, the sensors transmit once every 60 minutes to minimize sensor battery consumption. NOTE: The sensor’s pressure accuracy is about 2 psi (14 kPa) at temperatures from 14 degrees Fahrenheit to 158 degrees F (-10 Celsius to 70 degrees C). The RCDLR receives and translates the data contained in each sensor transmission, then sends... When the TPMS detects a significant loss or gain of tire pressure, a “CHECK TIRE PRESSURE” message will appear on the DIC, and the low tire pressure warning indicator is displayed on the IPC. Any malfunctions detected will cause the DIC to display a “SERVICE TIRE MONITOR” warning message. Source: www.moderntiredealer.com
