DTC C2141: Transmitter ID1 Error; DTC C2142: Transmitter ID2 Error; DTC C2143: Transmitter ID3 Error; DTC C2144: Transmitter ID4 Error; DTC C2145: Transmitter ID5 Error [12/2019 - 11/2023]: Description

The tire pressure warning valve and transmitters that are installed in the tire and wheel assemblies measure the tire pressure of each wheel. The measured values are transmitted to the tire pressure warning ECU and receiver in the vehicle as radio waves. The ECU compares the measured tire pressure values with the tire pressure threshold. When the measured tire pressure value is less than this threshold, the warning light in the combination meter assembly illuminates.

When the internal circuit of a tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is malfunctioning, one of these DTCs is output.

DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area Note
C2141 Transmitter ID1 Error If an "ERROR" signal is received 3 times consecutively, the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter will be judged as defective and a DTC will be output.
This will happen in situations where the inflation pressure is outside the specified range (0 to 380 kPa (0 to 3.9 kgf/cm2 , 0 to 55 psi)), the temperature inside the tire is outside the specified range (-40 to 120°C (-40 to 248°F)), or an error occurs in the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter.

C2142 Transmitter ID2 Error If an "ERROR" signal is received 3 times consecutively, the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter will be judged as defective and a DTC will be output.
This will happen in situations where the inflation pressure is outside the specified range (0 to 380 kPa (0 to 3.9 kgf/cm2 , 0 to 55 psi)), the temperature inside the tire is outside the specified range (-40 to 120°C (-40 to 248°F)), or an error occurs in the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter.

C2143 Transmitter ID3 Error If an "ERROR" signal is received 3 times consecutively, the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter will be judged as defective and a DTC will be output.
This will happen in situations where the inflation pressure is outside the specified range (0 to 380 kPa (0 to 3.9 kgf/cm2 , 0 to 55 psi)), the temperature inside the tire is outside the specified range (-40 to 120°C (-40 to 248°F)), or an error occurs in the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter.

C2144 Transmitter ID4 Error If an "ERROR" signal is received 3 times consecutively, the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter will be judged as defective and a DTC will be output.
This will happen in situations where the inflation pressure is outside the specified range (0 to 380 kPa (0 to 3.9 kgf/cm2 , 0 to 55 psi)), the temperature inside the tire is outside the specified range (-40 to 120°C (-40 to 248°F)), or an error occurs in the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter.

C2145 Transmitter ID5 Error If an "ERROR" signal is received 3 times consecutively, the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter will be judged as defective and a DTC will be output.
This will happen in situations where the inflation pressure is outside the specified range (0 to 380 kPa (0 to 3.9 kgf/cm2 , 0 to 55 psi)), the temperature inside the tire is outside the specified range (-40 to 120°C (-40 to 248°F)), or an error occurs in the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter.
