DTC Code C2167 – What does this code mean?

<ul> <li><a href="/problems/tire-pressure-warning-light"><b>Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) Warning Light ON</b></a>: The TPMS warning light illuminates on the dashboard, indicating an issue with the tire pressure monitoring system. This can be linked to an abnormal temperature detected inside the ID 3 tire, which may affect the tire's pressure and performance.</li> <li><a href="/problems/abs-light-is-on"><b>Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Warning Light ON</b></a>: The ABS warning light may also turn on, suggesting a potential issue with the vehicle's braking system. This can be associated with the abnormal temperature in the ID 3 tire, as it may impact the tire's grip and the overall braking efficiency.</li> </ul>

<ul><li>The tire may be damaged, leading to abnormal temperature readings due to increased friction or structural issues.</li><li>A faulty tire pressure warning valve and transmitter can send incorrect temperature data to the ECU, triggering the error code.</li><li>The tire pressure warning ECU might be malfunctioning, misinterpreting the temperature data from the sensors and causing the error code to appear.</li></ul>

<ul> <li><b>Verify Tire Pressure</b>: Check the tire pressure of ID 3 tire to ensure it is within the manufacturer's recommended range. Abnormal pressure can lead to temperature variations.</li> <li><b>Inspect Tire Condition</b>: Examine the ID 3 tire for any visible damage, such as punctures, bulges, or uneven wear, which could cause abnormal temperature readings.</li> <li><b>Check Tire Temperature Sensor</b>: Inspect the tire temperature sensor for any signs of damage or disconnection. Ensure the sensor is properly mounted and functioning.</li> <li><b>Review Sensor Data</b>: Use a diagnostic tool to review the data from the tire temperature sensor. Compare it with the other tires to identify any discrepancies.</li> <li><b>Inspect Wiring and Connections</b>: Check the wiring and connections leading to the tire temperature sensor for any signs of corrosion, damage, or loose connections.</li> <li><b>Test Sensor Functionality</b>: If possible, test the sensor's functionality using a multimeter or a specialized diagnostic tool to ensure it is operating correctly.</li> <li><b>Evaluate Environmental Factors</b>: Consider external factors such as road conditions or ambient temperature that might affect the tire's temperature.</li></ul>

<p>The DTC code C2167 indicates an <b>abnormal temperature inside ID 3 tire</b>. This is a <b>critical</b> issue as it can lead to tire failure, potentially causing a loss of vehicle control. Immediate attention is required to prevent <b>serious safety risks</b> such as blowouts or accidents. Delayed repair could result in <b>severe damage</b> to the tire and surrounding components.</p>
