How do you check codes of tpms on a 2004 Chrysler 300?

Checking TPMS Codes with a TPMS Scan Tool

1. Ensure your vehicle is in a safe location.

2. Turn the engine off and allow the vehicle time to cool down.

3. Set parking brake.

4. Locate the TPMS receiver module. In the 2004 Chrysler 300, this module is located in the trunk, near the spare tire.

5. Connect the TPMS scan tool to the TPMS receiver module. The scan tool should have a specific connector that fits into the module's port.

6. Turn on the TPMS scan tool.

7. Follow the prompts on the scan tool to retrieve the TPMS codes. The scan tool may display the codes as numbers or alpha-numeric characters.

8. Write down the TPMS codes for reference.

9. Disconnect the TPMS scan tool from the TPMS receiver module.

Once you have retrieved the TPMS codes, you can look them up in a TPMS code chart to determine what the codes mean. The code chart will provide information about the specific problem with the TPMS system and will guide you on how to fix it.

Here are some additional tips for checking TPMS codes on a 2004 Chrysler 300:

- You can also use a OBDII scanner to retrieve the TPMS codes. OBDII scanners are more versatile than TPMS scan tools and can be used to diagnose other problems with your vehicle.

- If the TPMS system does not respond to the scan tool, you may need to replace the TPMS receiver module.

- If you are unable to retrieve the TPMS codes or fix the problem yourself, you may need to take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic.
