U0330 Software Incompatibility With Tire Pressure Monitor Module

Check engine lightUsually off
EmissionsNot relevant
Drive cycleNot required
Limp modeNo

The tyre pressure monitor module receives the radio messages of the wheel sensors, evaluates the pressures and, on many systems, works out which sensor sits on which wheel; from this it drives the warning lamp and cluster messages. U0330 is set when a partner controller finds the software or variant of this module unsuitable, usually after a replacement or a partial update. No manufacturer documents U0330 publicly. Porsche shows how much depends on that software: on Panamera and Cayenne from 2017, version 0630 could raise a TPM fault message for no reason, and the unit had to be reprogrammed and coded (90/18). FCA reflashed the TPM software of 2014–2015 Journey, Durango, Charger and Grand Cherokee when sensor location codes C151D and C1581 appeared (08-024-15). U0127 is lost contact. Only the tyre warning is affected.

Likely causes

TPMS module replaced or taken from another vehicle without programming and coding
Module still on a software level that the partner controllers no longer accept
Module configured for another wheel, tyre or sensor variant

Symptoms

  • Tyre pressure warning lamp or TPMS fault message in the cluster
  • Tyre pressures not shown or shown on the wrong wheel
  • Code appears after work on the TPMS module or a software update
