POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS(S)

 

BIM-22-3 will not light 
BIM-22-3 is not recognized by

BIM-22-3 has steady dot 

BIM cable not connected

Drive vehicle until sensors wake up and tire pressure is displayed. 
Change the associated tir

e’s pressure by inflating or deflating with a 

pressure change of more than 2 PSI. 

 

 

 

One or more sensors reads

extended period of driving 
time even though tire does 
have pressure. 

TPMS Receiver Module is not receiving 
from the TPMS sensors 
 
Sensor needs to be “learned” 
 
 
 
If a sensor functioned previously but now 
it never wakes up, it is possible its 
battery has depleted. 
 
 

Try moving the TPMS Receiver Module to a location outside the 
vehicle to see if it receives from the TPMS sensors. 
 
If a 

sensor needs to be “learned”, follow   

 

BIM Learn Sensors 

Mode 

in the section 

Special Operating Modes

 to relearn the 

sensor(s). 
 
Follow 

 - 

Display Battery Status Mode

 in the section 

Special 

Operating Modes

 

to determine the sensor’s battery status. 

 
If sensor is still not detected, order replacement sensor(s) (see 
instructions).

This error is a result of the TPMS 
Receiver Module not being detected by 
the BIM-22-3 on power up. 
 
TPMS Receiver Module is not connected 
to the BIM. 

 

 
TPMS Receiver Module is damaged. 

Connect Input on BIM to TPMS Receiver Module (see wiring 
diagram). 
 
 
Inspect and reconnect wires and power up again. 
 
 
Return TPMS Receiver Module for service.  (See instructions).

This error message occurs when the 
BIM-22-3 does not receive vehicle speed 
from a control box or a BIM-01-2.  
 
 
If this is displayed when the control box 
gauge is not in the SETUP menu, the 
BIM to control box interface harness is 
not connected or it is loose or faulty. 

Note that this BIM display message will occur on VHX, VFD3, and 
VFD3X systems during the locate procedure because those systems 
do not send the vehicle speed while in the SETUP menu. This is 
normal and no solution is necessary. 
 
Inspect and reconnect interface harness. 
 
Replace BIM harness, 394191

“FILL LOW TIRES” during 

locate procedure

 

One or more TPMS sensors need to be 
woken up. 
 
One or more tires do not have more than 
20 PSI in them.

 

Inflate all tires with a 2 PSI change in pressure to wake up all 
sensors.  
 
Inflate all tires until all of them contain more than 20 PSI. 

Audio alarm (HDX/RTX only)

Alarm is not connected to the gauge 
cluster. 
 
Gauge cluster is in SETUP menu. 
 

 
 
Ensure alarm harness is connected to gauge cluster. 
 
 
Exit the SETUP menu. 
 

Tire pressure values do not 
agree with the location 
indicated on the instrument

’s 

TIRE PSI screen. 

Sensors were installed in wrong location. 
 
Locate procedure was not followed after 
a tire rotation. 
 

Follow the g

auge system’s locate procedure or the BIM locate 

procedure. 
 
 

Valve stem is damaged but 
sensor is OK. 

Valve stem damaged during installation 
or during operation. 

Rubber valve stems are universal, find a replacement that will accept 
any TPMS type sensor, and transfer our TPMS sensor.
