Hello,

It sounds like the circuit board inside the TIPM went bad which is common. You can get a new unit and install it yourself with no programming necessary. Once installed the unit will self initialize here are the instructions and diagrams below.

Position the TIPM into the engine compartment.
Connect the electrical wire harness connectors.
Position the TIPM positive cable onto the mounting stud and install the retaining nut. Tighten the nut to 9 - 11 N.m (80 - 100 in. lbs.).
Position the TIPM onto the mounting bracket and push down until the mounting clips are fully seated.

Open the TIPM cover and fully seat the Airbag fuse holder (two fuses in one yellow carrier) and the Ignition Off Draw (IOD) fuse. Connect the battery negative cable. Close the hood.

Insert the ignition key and turn it to the "RUN" position and wait twelve seconds. The TIPM will collect the necessary vehicle configuration and VIN data from the CCN and PCM at this time. After twelve seconds turn the ignition key to the "OFF" position and then back to the "ON" position and verify proper vehicle systems operation.

I includes the wiper wing diagrams so you can see how the system works.

Check out the diagrams (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.

Cheers, Ken
