DTC Descriptor

DTC C0775: Low Tire Pressure System Sensors Not Learned

Circuit/System Description

The body control module (BCM) receives a radio frequency (RF) transmission from each tire pressure sensor. Each sensor RF transmission contains its own unique identification (ID) code that must be learned into the BCM memory. Once all 4 IDs have been learned and vehicle speed is 25 mph or greater, the BCM continuously compares IDs in received transmission to its learned IDs to determine if all 4 sensors are present.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The ignition is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The BCM has not undergone the tire pressure sensor learn procedure.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

    • The tire pressure monitor indicator icon on the instrument panel cluster (IPC) flashes for 1 minute and then remains illuminated after the ignition switch is cycled ON and the IPC bulb check is complete.
    • If equipped, the DIC displays a service tire monitor type message.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

A current DTC will clear when the BCM has undergone the sensor learn procedure.

Diagnostic Aids

A newly replaced BCM will set DTC C0775 on its initial ignition ON cycle. Tire pressure sensor learn procedure must be performed.
