I have a 2007 Maxima that continues to throw a TPMS code of C1710 - Data From Rear Right Transmitter Cannot Be Received. I have replaced the rear right sensor a few times already, and the code pops up within a day or so. I could not find any info on this code on the forum, or where the TPMS receiver antenna was located, so I'm hoping that someone on here can point me in the right direction. Any help or experience is appreciated!

Installing the sensor is not plug & play; it has to be programmed into the BCM, which is the controlling unit.

 

I apologize for not clarifying, but I am using an Autel TS508 to write the ID's of the sensors through the ALDL port. So the TPS system knows which sensors it should be expecting feedback from. I have even rotated the wheels so that a working sensor from another location goes to that right rear location, and a previously reporting sensor now throws the C1710 code from the right rear.

I looked in the service manual, and C1710 is "Data from RR transmitter cannot be received". As I am following the diagnostics in the service manual, it looks like the keyless entry module also doubles as the TPMS receiver? Is that correct?? It looks like that module is under the driver's side dash, so the right rear sensor is the furthest one from the receiver. Am I on the right track?

 

There are two remote receivers. One is for the I-Key(M78) P/N: 28595-ZK30B); the other is for the TPMS (M120) P/N 28595-ZK35A. If all is well with this receiver and its connector, the BCM would appear to be malfunctioning in that circuit.

 

So if the system is seeing the other (3) sensors, should I assume that the M120 sensor is working and receiving all of the signals, and therefore the BCM is not interpreting all (4) sensor signals?

 

That sounds logical. But have you tried out the diagnosis suggested in the service manual? Drive round for some minutes, then check the pressure values in live data of your tool.
"Drive for several minutes. Check all tire pressures with CONSULT-II “DATA MONITOR ITEM”.
Are all tire pressures displayed as 0 kPa?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> GO TO 3."

 

I don't know if the Autel tool will read the sensor feedback through the ALDL cable to see what the module is seeing like what the Consult-II will. I have only used it a handful of times, but do not recall that functionality. I assume that is the objective of that troubleshooting - to see what the module is seeing?

 

The TS508 cannot run live data. You'd need to find a tool capable of scanning all modules for example. Yes, the objective is for trouble shooting to enable you determine whether to work on the receiver or change the BCM.
