3.8 SERVICE PROCEDURE
Follow this TPMS service procedure each time before and after servicing tires/wheels.
3.8.1 READ AND DIAGNOSE TPMS SENSORS
Before wheel or tyre maintenance, use your TPMS tool to check each vehicle sensor. This
way you can be sure that they are all working correctly.
This procedure also lets you check the pressure of each tyre, and preventively replace any
damaged or defective sensors or those with batteries coming to the end of their life.
Note that simply reading the TPMS sensors with the tool does not affect the TPMS
settings of the vehicle.
If the sensor does not respond, refer to the Troubleshooting section page 12 of this guide.
1. Carrying out wheel or tyre maintenance.
2. Start with first TPMS reading on the front left wheel. Place the tool against the side
of the tyre, directly on the rubber and in immediate proximity to the valve. For
clearly visible TPMS sensors mounted outside of the tyre, simply move the tool
towards the sensor. Finally, the sensors circled directly inside the wheel rim are
triggered by putting the TPMS tool on the tyre rubber and staying close to the
sensor.
3. Press the green "Sensor activation" button on the TPMS tool to start the reading of
the TPMS sensor.
If the sensor reading is OK the device
vibrates, the green "Pass" LED light comes
on, and there is an audible signal if this is
activated.
This procedure should be carried out on all wheels of the vehicle, in an anticlockwise
direction, and according to the diagram given in the figure below (for example).

VT TRUCK 2.0 –User Manual
UM-KHTA1-03-01 Page 11/53
3.8.2 SPECIAL CASE OF TWIN WHEELS
VT TRUCK 2.0 manages twin wheels completely automatically.
If you have a pair of twin wheels, start by activating the TPMS sensor of the outer wheel.
To do this, proceed in the same way as for a single wheel. Then as soon as the tool
displays the result (green light PASS), move on to reading the inner wheel.
As for other wheel types, the TPMS tool should be held as close as possible to the wheel
valve to be read or to the sensor if attached to the outside of the tyre (see detailed
instructions on previous page).
Note that the TPMS sensor of the twin wheel (inner wheel) is usually positioned at 180
degrees to the outer wheel's sensor (see illustration below).
Simply read in the recommended order (see diagram on previous page) all wheels fitted
with TPMS sensors. VT TRUCK automatically handles all the wheels, including twin
wheels.

VT TRUCK 2.0 –User Manual
UM-KHTA1-03-01 Page 12/53
If in doubt about the wheel read, remember that the TPMS tool automatically rejects
sensors already read, and so prevents duplication.
Example: If the tractor is equipped with 10 TPMS sensors and 10 pressure measurements
are displayed, this guarantees that they are for the 10 wheels of the vehicle.
3.8.3 CONFIGURATOR
Before testing the vehicle's sensors, you must configure the number of axles and the
number of wheels on the vehicle. Each axle can have two single wheels or two twin
wheels. By default, the TPMS tool is configured with a truck with:
•two axles with single wheels at the front,
•three axles with twin wheels at the rear.
3.8.4 TEST SENSORS
Following the instructions in the Check Sensor of your TPMS tool (page 14). Trigger each
of the vehicle’s sensors to ensure they work properly.
This procedure allows you to quickly identify damaged or defective sensors, as some
vehicles do not report a bad or misfunctioning sensor on the vehicle dashboard until after
more than 20 minutes.
Testing the sensors before any service also eliminates the liability associated with
replacing previously damaged or defective sensors.
If the sensor does not respond, refer to the Troubleshooting section page 12 of this guide.
3.8.5 REPLACE SENSORS
Faulty sensors must be replaced to allow the vehicle’s TPMS to work properly. Use the
SERVICE TPMS of your TPMS tool to find the original equipment replacement sensor or a
universal aftermarket sensor.
Universal sensors must be programmed before use. Follow the instructions in PROGRAM
SENSOR of your TPMS tool to create or clone universal sensors.
3.8.6 TROUBLESHOOTING
If the TPMS tool is unable to trigger one or more of the sensors, please use the following
troubleshooting guide:
1. The sensor itself may be damaged or defective.
2. Wrong make, model, year is selected.
3. Your TPMS tool may require a software update.
4. Your TPMS tool is damaged or defective.
Please contact your tool supplier for further assistance.
For vehicles that do not require retraining, we recommend to trigger each wheel sensor,
one final time, to make sure they are working correctly prior to releasing the vehicle to the
customer.
