2. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the TPM QuickSet. This is a valuable tool to help
you maintain the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) when replacing sensors or
swaping tire sets on your vehicle.
The ATEQ TPM QuickSet is designed to reset your Tire Pressure Monitoring System
after changing two sets of tires, for instance winter to summer, or when one or more tires
has been replaced. The tool also has a “swaping tires” function to assist you to track and
record the TPM sensor information after rotating tires.
The PC software provides easy, step-by-step instructions for you to reset the TPMS
without having an expensive “professional” perform the same function.
Note:
TPM QuickSet can reset the TPMS warning light on your dashboard when the following
conditions are met:
•Vehicle must be equipped with Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring System (Direct
TPMS)
•CORRECT TPM sensors MUST be installed in all 4 or 5 tires
•The TPM sensors in the tires are working properly
•The TPMS ECU must be working properly
•All 4 or 5 tires are properly inflated according to the specified placard value
•Correct TPMS sensor ID numbers are entered into the TPM QuickSet software
before recording them to the vehicle ECU through the OBDII connector
If you have any questions or concerns with regards to conditions specified, please contact your dealer or sensor
supplier to obtain the proper information. You may also call our Toll Free Help Desk at 1-888-621-TPMS for
further assistance.
