(such as P-metric versus LT-metric or all-season versus all-terrain) as those originally provided by
Ford. The recommended tire and wheel size may be found on either the Safety Compliance
Certification Label or the Tire Label, which is located on the B-pillar or edge of the driver's door. If
the information is not found on these labels, consult a Ford dealer. Use of any tire or wheel not
recommended by Ford can affect the safety and performance of the vehicle, which could result in an
SE244002.HTM~gen~ref.HT... 2014-03-01
increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death. Additionally, the
use of non-recommended tires and wheels could cause steering, suspension, axle or transfer
case/power transfer unit failure.
NOTICE: Do not clean aluminum wheels with steel wool, abrasive-type cleaners or strong
detergents. Damage to the wheel finish may occur. Use Wheel and Tire Cleaner ZC-37-A or -B or
equivalent.
Factory-installed tires and wheels are designed to operate satisfactorily with loads up to and including full-
rated load capacity when inflated to recommended inflation pressures.
Correct tire pressure and driving techniques have an important influence on tire life. Heavy cornering,
excessively rapid acceleration and unnecessary sharp braking increase tire wear.
To equalize tire wear, the tires should be rotated at recommended intervals.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
cardiagn.com
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) includes:
z the Body Control Module (BCM), located behind the passenger side kick panel.
z the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) module, located behind the instrument panel on the RH side near
the glove box.
z four valve stem mounted tire pressure sensors.
z an Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) warning indicator.
z message center warnings.
Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) Module
The TPM module is a radio receiver that collects the tire pressure data from the TPMS tire pressure
sensors. The TPM module passes the tire pressure data to the BCM , where the BCM applies a
predetermined pass/fail criteria.
The BCM compares the information of each tire pressure message against a pressure limit. If the BCM
determines that the tire pressure has fallen below the minimum pressure, the BCM communicates this to the
IPC on the vehicle communication network.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Pressure Sensor
The BCM uses tire pressure sensors to monitor the tire pressure in the 4 road tires. The sensors transmit
radio frequency signals to the BCM approximately once every 60 seconds when the vehicle speed exceeds
32 km/h (20 mph).
The tire pressure sensors are battery operated and mounted to the valve stem.
Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) and Message Center
The IPC illuminates the TPMS warning indicator when it receives a TPMS warning indicator on request from
SE244002.HTM~gen~ref.HT... 2014-03-01
the BCM and displays the appropriate message(s) in the message center.
For additional information on the IPC and message center, refer to Section 413-01 .

chemicals if exposed to extreme mechanical damage. If these chemicals contact the skin or eyes,
flush immediately with water for a minimum of 15 minutes and get prompt medical attention. If any
part of the battery is swallowed, contact a physician immediately. When disposing of TPMS sensors,
follow the correct procedures for hazardous material disposal. Failure to follow these instructions
The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) module monitors the tire pressure of all 4 road tires. The wheel-mounted
tire pressure sensors transmit signals via radio frequency to the TPM module. The TPM module is a radio
receiver that collects the tire pressure data from the tire pressure sensors. The TPMS sensor radio
transmissions are sent once approximately every 60 seconds when the vehicle speed exceeds 32 km/h (20
mph). The data is then sent to the Body Control Module (BCM) where a predetermined pass/fail criteria is
applied. The BCM compares each TPMS sensor transmission against a low-pressure limit. If it has been
determined that the tire pressure has fallen below this limit, the BCM communicates this on the vehicle
communication bus to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). The IPC then illuminates the TPMS warning
indicator and displays the appropriate message(s) in the message center.
Ambient Temperature Change and Tire Pressure
Tire pressures fluctuate with temperature changes. For this reason, tire pressure must be set to specification
SE244004.HTM~gen~ref.HT... 2014-03-01
when tires are at outdoor ambient temperatures. If the vehicle is allowed to warm up to shop temperatures,
and the outside temperature is less than shop temperature, the tire inflation pressure must be adjusted
accordingly.
If the tires are inflated to specification at shop temperatures, and the vehicle is moved outdoors when the
outdoor ambient temperature is significantly lower, the tire pressure may drop enough to be detected by the
TPMS and activate the TPMS warning indicator.
As the ambient temperature decreases by 6°C (10°F), tire pressure decreases 7 kPa (1 psi). Adjust the tire
pressure by 7 kPa (1 psi) for each 6°C (10°F) ambient temperature drop as necessary to keep the tire at the
specified Vehicle Certification (VC) label pressure. Refer to the following tables to adjust the tire pressure
indoors for colder outside temperatures.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Warning Indicator and Message Center Messages
The TPMS warning indicator and vehicle message center sometimes display faults that cannot be resolved
by the customer. Treat these messages as TPMS faults that must be serviced.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Warning Indicator Illuminates Continuously
NOTE: When directed to train or re-train any TPMS sensors, use only the sensor training procedure
outlined in Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Training . Do not use the TPMS reset
procedure outlined in the Owner's Literature as this procedure will not program new sensors to the module.
The TPMS warning indicator remains on continuously and the message center displays LOW TIRE
PRESSURE when any of the tire pressures are low. When this condition exists, adjust the tire pressure to
the recommended cold pressure indicated on the VC label.
NOTE: The TPMS sensors do not transmit when the vehicle is stationary. If the vehicle has been stationary
for more than 30 minutes, it is necessary to wake up the sensors so that they transmit the latest tire
pressure information to the TPM module.
cardiagn.com
If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, carry out the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) Sensor Activation procedure in this section.
TPMS Warning Indicator Flashes
The TPMS warning indicator flashes for 70 seconds, then remains ON continuously when the ignition switch
is turned to the ON position and 1 or more of the following conditions exists:
z Tire Pressure Sensor Fault — The message center displays TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR FAULT
when a TPMS sensor is malfunctioning. GO to Symptom Chart .
z No communication with the BCM . The TPMS indicator is illuminated when the IPC has not received
any signals from the BCM for more than 5 seconds. The message center displays TIRE PRESSURE
MONITOR FAULT. GO to Symptom Chart .
z Tire Pressure Monitor Fault — The message center displays TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR FAULT
when the TPMS is malfunctioning or communication with the IPC has been lost. GO to Symptom
Chart .
The TP_STAT PID can be used to determine why the TPMS warning indicator is flashing.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) PID Definitions and Intermittent Troubleshooting
TPMS Status PID
The TPM monitors the TPMS status. The current status can be viewed by accessing the TPMS status PID :
TPMS_STAT using the scan tool. This helps identify the current system status and may aid in diagnosing
the system. The PID has 4 valid states:
1. TPMS_STAT = SENSOR FAULT.

z If the module has not received the tire pressure status from 1 to 3 TPMS sensors for 20
minutes when the vehicle speed is above 32 km/h (20 mph), the PID displays SENSOR
FAULT.
SE244004.HTM~gen~ref.HT... 2014-03-01
2. TPMS_STAT = SYSTEM FAULT.

z If the module has not received the tire pressure status from all 4 TPMS sensors for 20 minutes
and the vehicle speed is above 32 km/h (20 mph), the PID displays SYSTEM FAULT.
3. TPMS_STAT = LOW.
z If the module has detected that at least 1 TPMS sensor is reporting low tire pressure, the PID
displays LOW.
4. TPMS_STAT = SYSTEM ACTIVE.

z If the TPMS is functioning normally, the PID displays SYSTEM ACTIVE.
TPMS Last Warning Event PID Definitions
The TPMS uses the TPMS last warning event PIDs to store detailed information about the last 5 times the
TPMS warning indicator was activated. These PIDs can be used to acquire more information about a
particular TPMS event, but must be used carefully.
EVT1_AGE_IGN through EVT5_AGE_IGN
cardiagn.com
The number of key cycles since the TPMS indicator was activated. This PID cycles from zero to 255. Default
is $00, this can be used to determine how long ago a TPMS event occurred and the time (in key cycles)
between events.
EVT1_TR_LOC through EVT5_TR_LOC
This is the last programmed location for the sensor identifier causing each TPMS event. Due to tire rotation,
the sensor may no longer be at the original location. It is suggested that all the PIDs be recorded, the
system retrained, and then the sensor identifier PIDs be used to pinpoint the actual location of each sensor.
EVT1_PRESS through EVT5_PRESS
This is the tire pressure associated with each TPMS warning indicator event. This can be used along with
the function code to clearly identify the TPMS events that were strictly due to low pressure. It can also be
used to determine when a sensor is transmitting inaccurate tire pressure.
EVT1_SNSR_ST through EVT5_SNSR_ST
Describes the warning status of each TPMS event by using the information received from the TPMS status
(TPMS_STAT) PID . If there is a communication issue, the status could be Normal.
z Unknown
z Normal (normal operation)
z Low (low pressure event)
z Fault (sensor fault or system fault)
EVT1_SNSR_ID through EVT5_SNSR_ID
This is the identifier of the sensor involved in each TPMS event. EVT1 is the most recent event that
triggered the TPMS warning indicator. Default is $ 00 00 00 00.
Wheel Rotation and Sensor Training Techniques
Moving a Problem Sensor/Wheel to a Different Position
SE244004.HTM~gen~ref.HT... 2014-03-01
If a sensor in a certain location has caused several events, yet the sensor trains and seems to operate
normally, moving that particular wheel to a different location on the vehicle is a good way to isolate the issue
to a certain sensor/wheel location. Rotate the wheels and road test the vehicle. This can be done in an
attempt to replicate the issue. This determines if the issue followed the sensor or remained in the original
sensor location.
Training Sensors in a Different Order
This is a technique to get past a left front sensor that may not be responding to determine if the remaining
sensors train to the module. This can help save time determining if other sensors are having issues or if the
module is experiencing training difficulties with a certain location.
Training Known Good Sensors From Another Vehicle
Training known good sensors from another vehicle cannot differentiate between a faulted module and Radio
Frequency Interference (RFI), as some noise source could be preventing the TPM module from receiving
the tire pressure status from the original sensors as well as the known good sensors. This technique can be
used to differentiate between a sensor and module issue. If the TPM module cannot train any of the sensors
on the same vehicle, and likewise cannot train known good sensors from another vehicle, then the issue is
with the TPM module or RFI and not with the original sensors. The original sensors should not be replaced.
cardiagn.com
Items That Cause RFI
Non-OEM Equipment
The following equipment has been found to sometimes cause RFI :
z Video equipment has been found to cause RFI especially when the video and power supply lines are
near the TPMS .
z Car alarms (even those installed by dealerships) have been found to create enough RFI to cause the
TPMS to malfunction or lose considerable range. These car alarms can sometimes be difficult to
locate, as they are usually hidden somewhere out of the way for reduced accessibility.
z Many different in-vehicle cell phone chargers have been found to cause considerable RFI . The
vehicles with the power point closest to the TPM module are the most affected. It must be noted that
most cell phone chargers do not produce high levels of RFI all the time. This depends on the state of
charge of the cell phone battery. The phone must be almost completely discharged in some cases.
z Power supplies and DC/AC inverters typically create a lot of RFI . Most consumer grade equipment
has very little filtering or shielding.
OEM Modules
In some cases, the RFI may actually be caused by a module or ground on the vehicle. Depending on the
severity of the issue, a dirty ground, improperly built ground shield or module can disable the system.
Modules that have microcontrollers using clock circuits to create the timing pulses for the microprocessor
may radiate RFI .
Using Customer's Electronics to Pinpoint the Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) Source
This can be a way to determine the cause of an issue well before the sensors and module are replaced with
little or no affect on the system performance. Since this takes more up-front work, it relies on working with
the customer to determine what equipment was being used at the time of the event.
Options for Eliminating Intermittent TPMS Conditions Caused by RFI
z If an OEM component or customer device is causing an RFI issue, replace the device.
SE244004.HTM~gen~ref.HT... 2014-03-01
z If a phone charger is causing an RFI issue, the customer should consult their cell phone provider to
acquire a different phone charger.
z If a device such as a dealer-installed alarm is causing an RFI issue, move the device to another
location on the vehicle. In the case of a portable device, move the power cord to another power point
location.
In summary, if the RFI source is present and cannot be moved or replaced, the intermittent issue remains.
The TPMS system must accept RFI and the unwanted system operation it can cause.
Inspection and Verification
1. Verify the customer concern. Keep the following items in mind when diagnosing any TPMS related
issue:
z The tire pressure sensors are not designed to be used with aftermarket wheels. The use of
run-flat tires (tires with steel body cord plies in the tire sidewall) that are not originally
equipped, may block the TPMS signal and are not recommended.
z Non-OEM modifications made to the vehicle may result in false TPMS warnings.
cardiagn.com
z Swapping wheels on vehicles with the same TPMS sensors sets a fault if the sensors are not
trained. Refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Training in this section.
z The tire pressure calibrations in the TPM for the system cannot be changed to use lower tire
pressures than those listed on the Vehicle Certification (VC) label.
z Certain non-OEM electronic equipment may cause RFI and false TPMS warnings. To aid in
diagnosis, obtain information from the owner regarding any equipment that has been added or
was in use at the time the TPMS fault occurred.
z It may be necessary to disconnect any electronic add-on equipment to verify its impact on
TPMS operation. For intermittent cases, it may be necessary to ask the customer to provide
portable electronic equipment to verify its impact on the system.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.
Visual Inspection Chart

Symptom Chart
NOTE: For vehicles with different front and rear tire pressures, the tire pressures must be
adjusted and the tire pressure sensors must be trained following a tire rotation. Failure to
train the sensors results in a false low tire pressure event, causing the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) indicator to illuminate.
For vehicles with the same tire pressure for front and rear tires, training the sensors is
not necessary after a tire rotation.

Pinpoint Test D: The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Warning Indicator Is ON Continuously
and The Message Center Displays LOW TIRE PRESSURE
Normal Operation
The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) module monitors the air pressure of all 4 road tires. The wheel-mounted
tire pressure sensors transmit data via radio frequency signals to the TPM module. The TPM module is a
radio receiver that collects the air pressure data from the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) tire
pressure sensors. The data is then sent to the Body Control Module (BCM) where a predetermined pass/fail
criteria is applied. The TPMS sensor radio transmissions are sent approximately once every 60 seconds
when the vehicle speed exceeds 32 km/h (20 mph). The BCM compares each TPMS sensor transmission
against a low-pressure limit. If it has been determined that the tire pressure has fallen below this limit, the
BCM communicates this on the vehicle communication bus to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). The IPC
then illuminates the TPMS warning indicator and displays the appropriate message(s) in the message
center .
This symptom can also be caused by a spare tire currently being used in place of a road tire. Make sure that
the spare tire is not currently in use. On vehicles with different front and rear tire pressures, if the sensors
are not trained following a tire rotation, this symptom may result. Advise the customer that on vehicles with
different front and rear tire pressures, the sensors must be trained as directed in the Owner's Literature.

To maximize tire performance, inspect for signs of incorrect inflation and uneven wear, which may indicate a
need for balancing, rotation or front suspension alignment.
Correct tire pressure and driving techniques have an important influence on tire life. Heavy cornering,
excessively rapid acceleration and unnecessary sharp braking increase tire wear.
Replacement tires must follow the recommended:

1. Inspect the tires for signs of uneven wear. Refer to the following descriptions to identify the type of
wear and for the appropriate repair action to be carried out.
2. Check the tires for:

z cuts.
z stone bruises.
z abrasions.
z blisters.
z embedded objects.
3. Check the valve stems for:

z cracks.
z cuts.
Install a new valve stem when damage is found or any time a new tire is installed.
4. Tread wear indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread grooves. Install a new tire when the
indicator bands become less than 2/32 inch.
Tire Wear
Tire wear is commonly defined as a loss of tread depth. Tire tread wear occurs due to friction with the
contact surface (road/pavement). The tread should wear down uniformly all the way around the
circumference of the tire and all the way across the tread face. When this does not occur, the tire may have
abnormal/incorrect wear.
Normal Tire Wear
Normal tire wear is identified as even wear around and across the tread. Because there are many factors
(driving style, road surfaces, type of vehicle, type of tire) that can affect tire wear, there is no absolute
mileage expectation for a normal wear condition. A tire is considered worn-out when the tread has worn to
the level of the tread wear indicators.
SE244003.HTM~gen~ref.HT... 2014-03-01
Abnormal/Incorrect Tire Wear
Abnormal/incorrect tire wear is identified as tire wear that is not even around or across the tread, creating
performance-related issues.
Abnormal/incorrect tire wear can be caused by numerous factors, some of which include driving style
(aggressive, passive), climate (hot, cold), road conditions, vehicle loading and maintenance (correct tire
pressure, rotation intervals and balance). It is important to determine the root cause of wear on a vehicle
before carrying out repair. Tires exhibiting abnormal/incorrect tire wear may still be serviceable provided that
the minimum tread depth is greater than 2/32 inch and the tire is not causing a vehicle performance
(noise/vibration) concern.
Some abnormal/incorrect wear patterns look the same all the way around the tread of the tire, other wear
patterns are not consistent and can occur in various spots on the tread area. The underlying causes of the 6
wear categories are different. Refer to the following descriptions to identify the type of wear and the
appropriate repair action to be carried out.
Inner Edge/Shoulder Wear
Inner edge (or shoulder) wear occurs on the inside edge of the tire and is usually caused by excessive toe
cardiagn.com
out and/or excessive negative camber. If the tread depth of the outer shoulder is at least 50% greater than
the tread depth of the inner shoulder, the tire is experiencing inner edge/shoulder wear. Visually inspect the
tires to determine whether the tires have this type of wear. In some instances, the tread depth of each rib
may need to be measured and compared it to that of the shoulder.
NOTE: RF tire shown, others similar.
Outer Edge/Shoulder Wear
Outer edge (or shoulder) wear occurs on the outside edge of the tire and is usually caused by excessive toe
in and/or excessive positive camber. If the tread depth of the inner shoulder is at least 50% greater than the
tread depth of the outer shoulder, the tire is experiencing outer edge/shoulder wear. Visually inspect the tires
to determine whether the tires have this type of wear. In some instances, the tread depth of each rib may
need to be measured and compared to that of the shoulder.
NOTE: RF tire shown, others similar.
SE244003.HTM~gen~ref.HT... 2014-03-01
Heel/Toe Wear
Heel/toe wear (also known as feathering) occurs along the outside or inside edge/shoulder of the tire.
Visually inspect the tires in both the inside and outside shoulder ribs to determine whether the tires have this
type of wear. In some instances, the difference in tread depth of leading versus trailing edge of each lug in
the inside and outside shoulder rib may need to be measured.
cardiagn.com
Diagonal Wear
Diagonal wear occurs diagonally across the tread area and around the circumference of the tire. To
determine whether tires have this type of wear, visually inspect the tires to determine if the wear pattern runs
diagonally across the tread and around the circumference of the tire. In some instances, the difference in
tread depth along the diagonal wear pattern may need to be measured.

Radial Runout
Radial runout is the egg-shaped deviation from a perfect circle and is measured perpendicular to the
circumference. On a wheel and tire assembly, this means measuring the center tire tread rib. The center rib
is indicative of the condition of the tire as a whole. Total runout is the difference between the maximum-to-
minimum gauge reading. The high spot is the location of maximum runout.

Loaded Runout Measurement (Hunter Road Force® 9700 Series Wheel Balancer)
NOTE: Diagnosis of tire/wheel vibration should not be performed on tires with less than 320 km (200 mi).
Some initial tire/wheel vibration issues (such as flat spotting) correct themselves after the tires have been in
service for 320 km (200 mi).
This procedure is intended to assist with the diagnosis of wheel and tire assembly runout and/or force
variation issues.
The Hunter Road Force® 9700 Series Wheel Balancer measures the wheel and tire assembly's loaded
runout and the tire's radial spring rate. The balancer then converts the runout into pounds of force (termed
as Road Force®). Measuring loaded runout (Road Force®) is more effective than measuring unloaded
runout using a dial indicator.
1. Using a tire crayon, record the vehicle position on the inner sidewall of all 4 tires.
2. Remove the wheel and tire assemblies. For additional information, refer to Wheel and Tire in this
section.
3. NOTE: Use only the Digital Tire Pressure Gauge any time tire pressures are measured to be sure
Make sure the tire pressures are set to the correct pressure as indicated on the Vehicle Certification
(VC) label.
4. NOTICE: Make sure the correct wheel balancer adapters are used when mounting the
assembly to the wheel balancer or damage to the wheel may occur.
SE244003.HTM~gen~ref.HT... 2014-03-01
NOTE: Make sure the wheel and tire assembly is clean and free of foreign material prior to
installation on the balancer.
NOTE: The wheel balancer inflation station must be turned OFF for tires with inflation pressures of
414 kPa (60 psi) or above.

service for 320 km (200 mi).
SE244003.HTM~gen~ref.HT... 2014-03-01
NOTE: Loaded runout measurements are the preferred method for verifying tire serviceability. While a dial
indicator can be used to optimize the position of the tire on the wheel, the unloaded runout measurement
cannot accurately determine if the tire should be removed from service.
Use the following procedures if normal diagnostics leads to a potential runout issue.
Some vehicles may exhibit a wheel and tire vibration caused by excessive runout. Radial runout
measurements can be taken using a dial indicator and should be measured with the wheel and tire
assembly mounted on a suitable wheel balancer. Make sure the dial indicator is mounted securely to
eliminate gauge movement when measuring runout.
1. NOTE: Use only the Digital Tire Pressure Gauge any time tire pressures are measured to be sure
Make sure the tire pressures are set to the correct pressure as indicated on the VC label.
2. Using a tire crayon, record the vehicle position on the inner sidewall of all 4 tires.

6. While slowly and constantly rotating the wheel and tire assembly (or wheel), measure the radial
runout.
z Note the variance (runout) from 0 on the dial of the gauge.
z If the runout reading of a wheel and tire assembly is greater than 1.14 mm (0.045 in), locate
and temporarily mark the high spot and runout reading on the sidewall of the tire and carry out
the Match Mounting procedure to optimize the wheel and tire assembly.
z If the runout reading of a wheel and tire assembly is 1.14 mm (0.045 in) or less, permanently
mark the high spot and the runout reading on the inner sidewall of the tire for reference during

Match Mounting
NOTE: Road Force® values in illustrations are shown in pounds.
SE244003.HTM~gen~ref.HT... 2014-03-01
Match mounting is a technique used to reduce radial runout or Road Force® on wheel and tire assemblies.
Excessive runout is a source of ride quality complaints and match mounting can be used to minimize the
runout. Match mounting can be accomplished by changing the position of the tire on the wheel.
1. Position the wheel and tire assembly on a tire machine and put a reference mark on the tire sidewall
at the valve stem position.
Item Description
cardiagn.com
1 Valve stem
2 Reference mark
2. NOTICE: For tires equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), the sensor may
be damaged by incorrect tire mounting or dismounting. Dismount the tire from the wheel as
instructed in the Disassembly and Assembly procedure. Failure to follow these instructions
may result in component damage.
NOTE: Always make sure that the final high spot and measurement values are permanently marked
on the inner sidewall of the tire for reference during future wheel and tire service.
Using a suitable tire machine, separate the tire beads from the wheel.
z Lubricate the tire beads using a suitable fast drying, corrosion inhibiting tire bead lubricant.
z Position the tire 180 degrees (halfway around) on the rim so the valve stem reference mark is
opposite the valve stem.
3. Reinflate the wheel and tire assembly to the specified air pressure and measure the assembly again
using the dial indicator or Hunter Road Force® 9700 Series Wheel Balancer. Mark the second high
spot on the tire.
z If the runout or Road Force® is reduced to within specifications, the concern has been
resolved. Balance the assembly and install on the vehicle using the Wheel-to-Hub Optimization
procedure.
4. If the second runout or Road Force® measurement is still not within specification and both high spots
are close to each other (within 101.6 mm [4 in]), the root cause is probably the tire (the high spot
followed the tire).
z To be sure the tire is causing the high runout, it is necessary to have 2 runout or Road Force®
measurements that are not within specification and the high spots must be in approximately
the same location on the tire's sidewall. If the tire is the cause, install a new tire, balance the
assembly and install on the vehicle using the Wheel-to-Hub Optimization procedure.
z If the second high spot is not within 101.6 mm (4 in) of the first high spot, proceed to the next
step.
SE244003.HTM~gen~ref.HT... 2014-03-01
Item Description
1 First high spot on the tire
2 Second high spot on the tire
5. If the second high spot is still above specification and within 101.6 mm (4 in) of being opposite the
first high spot on the wheel, the root cause is probably the wheel (the high spot followed the wheel).
Dismount the tire from the wheel, mount the wheel on a balancer and check the wheel runout. If the
cardiagn.com
wheel runout exceeds 1.14 mm (0.045 in), install a new wheel, balance the assembly and install on
the vehicle using the Wheel-to-Hub Optimization procedure.
Item Description
6. NOTE: If the second high spot did not follow the wheel or the tire and the runout is still not within
specification, improvements may be made by rotating the tire 90 degrees (one-fourth turn).
Draw an arrow on the tire sidewall from the second high spot towards the first high spot (in the
shortest direction).
z Separate the tire beads from the wheel and rotate the tire 90 degrees (one-fourth turn) in the
direction of the arrow.

Wheel-to-Hub Optimization
cardiagn.com
Wheel-to-hub optimization is important. Use the clearance between the wheel and hub to offset or neutralize
the Road Force® or runout of the wheel and tire assembly. For every 0.001 inch of wheel-to-hub clearance,
the Road Force® can be affected between 1 and 3 pounds depending on the tire stiffness.
NOTE: The example below illustrates how the clearance between the wheel and the hub can be used to
offset the high spot of radial runout or Road Force®. Following the procedure will make sure of the best
optimization.
1. Position the wheel and tire assembly on the vehicle so the high spot location is at the 6 o'clock
position and install the wheel nuts by hand until snug.
2. NOTE: Do not allow the full weight of the vehicle to rest on the tires while tightening the wheel nuts.
