Retrofitting TPMS

Ok the first thing we need to do is check a couple of things.

Pins in the rear fuse board.

The most important one is the one at the bottom.





You will also need to check you have the following wires on the grey round plug.

The wires you need to check for TPMS are 1 Black & 1 Green/Blue

There should also be other Black and a Green/Yellow (I believe these are for the rear number plate light)

There is a couple of other wires on this plug but I'm not 100% sure what they are for.



If you have the above this retrofit will be so much easier and cheaper.

I've not found any mention of any fuses that are used for the TPMS system.

So the parts you will need are as follows.

Rear loom please pick the loom that meets your car and make sure you add the TPMS into it.

You can fit the loom yourself and also the TPMS ECU, you will have to get a tyre place to fit the TPMS sensors in the wheels phone around and see who has the tools to do it I paid £24 for them to be fitted the nuts need to be done up to 8nm.

You will find the following howto's helpful for changing the loom over and fitting the TPMS ECU.

How to remove rear bumper

Retrofit flex floor

To change the loom over you will need to remove the trim panel from the load area to reveal the the fuse board fully you will also need to remove the rear trim panel, then remove rear bumper (don't need to take it fully off)

disconnect the old loom and remove from the car, then run the new loom though.

Install the TPMS ECU it fits behind the bumper





I used a couple of cable ties for extra peace of mind



You will need to plug the plug into the board.



There is only 1 pin in this plug for TPMS and the wire colour is Purple/Green.



Put the car back together and go and get you TPMS sensors fitted to the wheels



You will then need to get TPMS activated Pecky based in Wolverhampton can do this dealerships seem baffled by any retrofits​

To bring this thread to an end.

I had to make two trips to Pecky to get the VCI codes needed for the BCM & IPC, once that was done the system was working but not picking up the sensors in the wheels.





After much headbanging with Vauxhall they said the new sensors needed to activated via the tool they hold over the sensor, No dealer could understand this.

I took a trip up to Cornishtaz and we swapped two wheels which kicked started my sensors.

The system is now fully working.





A big thanks to all who helped with this retrofit.

Please see this link to online workshop about the BCM.

If anyone wants any help send me a PM​
