u1228 invalid or missing data for tires

Invalid or Missing Data for Tires: This code indicates that the vehicle’s onboard computer has detected invalid or missing data from the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS).

Description: Invalid or Missing Data for Tires

  • Faulty Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor
  • Issues with the TPMS module
  • Wiring problems or poor connections in the TPMS circuit
  • Software issues within the vehicle’s control module
  • Interference from other electronic devices


Invalid or Missing Data for Tires
Faulty tire pressure sensors, damaged wiring harness, or a malfunctioning control module are often misdiagnosed as the root cause.

Invalid or Missing Data for Tires

  1. Check the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensors for proper operation and ensure they are transmitting data correctly.
  2. Inspect the wiring and connectors related to the TPMS for any signs of damage, corrosion, or disconnection.
  3. Verify that the vehicle’s battery voltage is within the normal range, as low voltage can affect sensor communication.
  4. Use a scan tool to check for additional trouble codes that may provide more context or indicate related issues.
  5. Ensure that all tires have compatible TPMS sensors installed and are properly programmed to communicate with the vehicle’s control module.
  6. If applicable, update the vehicle’s software/firmware to address any known issues with TPMS communication.
  7. If necessary, replace faulty TPMS sensors or repair damaged wiring/connectors based on diagnostic findings.
