TECH550PRO USER GUIDE
RELEARNS
A TPMS relearn is the process in which TPMS sensor IDs are stored or written to the ECM of the vehicle. There are three
categories of TPMS relearns for a Direct TPMS System:
Stationary
•Auto (Drive)
•OBDII Connect
•Indirect (Vehicles have no sensors)
Your TECH550PRO tool will display the relearn process right on the screen of what is available to use for that specific
vehicle. The tool will also list the Tire Industry Association (TIA) Relearn Process Reference number for cross-reference to
the TIA TPMS Relearn Chart. Bartec recommends performing a TPMS relearn any time a vehicles’ tires are removed.
STATIONARY RELEARNS:
Stationary Relearns use the vehicle’s on-board TPMS system to listen for transmissions from TPMS sensors while the
vehicle is in “Learn Mode”. This is usually achieved through a series of actions performed on the vehicle to place it into
this mode. Once the vehicle is in Learn Mode, use your PRO Series tool to activate the sensors. The vehicle will listen for
the sensor IDs and assign them to the correct wheel positions on the vehicle.
DRIVE RELEARNS:
Some vehicles can be reset by driving. Refer to the on-screen relearn procedures for details on how far/long to drive. It
can take up to 20 minutes to relearn the sensor IDs.
OBD RELEARNS:
An OBDII relearn is either a vehicle that requires the OBDII connection to complete the registration of new TPMS sensor
IDs to the vehicle or is optional coverage for Stationary or Auto Relearn vehicles. Connection to a vehicle allows the
Tech550PRO to directly program the vehicle’s ECM with TPMS sensor IDs. OBD can be connected when all sensors are
successfully read and the message “All Sensors OK” is displayed. Please use the “Technical Information” menu and select
“View Vehicle Info” to find the OBD location. NOTE: Not all vehicles support OBD vehicle communications modes.
To find out which relearn type is available for a
vehicle, just turn on the tool and select
Relearn. Or refer to the current coverage list at
https://www.bartecusa.com/tpms-tool-
coverage-charts.

RITE SYNC®:
RITE-SYNC® allows the Technician to install a NEW RITE-SENSOR® into a vehicle just like the OE sensor, and during the
RELEARN Process, “sync” that sensor to the Make-Model-Year selected, keeping the RELEARN process the same as using
an OE sensor. This means that there is no need for the extra step in Programming the sensor before installing it within the
W/T assembly.
•No longer forgetting to program the sensor.
•Keeps process consistent.
•Sensor programs in Wheel and under pressure!
*RELEARNS listed with RITE-SYNC® still support other sensors, both OE and Aftermarket. Other programable sensors used
will need to be pre-programmed before the RELEARN process. Other brands of programable sensors do not support
programming at the wheel and tire or under pressure.
Note:
Stnry RITE-SYNC = Stationary Relearn process with RITE-SENSOR® Support
OBD RITE-SYNC = OBD Relearn process with RITE-SENSOR® Support
Drive RITE-SYNC = Drive (Auto) Relearn process with RITE-SENSOR® support (activate sensors before drive)
Process (RITE-SYNC®):
1. Configure the Make-Model-Year (see VINdicate® TSB for more info)
2. Select the Relearn Process
3. Follow the process with Activating the LF/RF/RR/ and LR wheel locations.
4. Tool will “RITE-SYNC®” any new RITE-SENSORS® automatically.
Note:
Test Sensors diagnostics for RITE-SENSOR®
Tool will declare an un-synchronized RITE-SENSOR® if found and will inform the technician it can be sync’d in the Relearn
process.

RELEARN INFORMATION:
This contains extra information about the relearn for the selected vehicle, which can assist you if you have any problems.
An example would be for some Toyota and Lexus vehicles which use a summer and winter tire set.
After selecting a Relearn method, follow the instructions given by the tool to relearn Sensors.
As well as the pressure and temperature, we also display the “mode” of the sensor. In some cases, the mode cannot be
changed and is not important, but in some cases, it will need to be changed for the relearn to work.
For example, if sensors for a vehicle show “Park” or “Drive” they are already in the
correct mode. Otherwise use the “Mode Change” command in the Quick Access Menu. If
the sensors are shown as Ship, Off or Test mode, put them in Park mode, using the
“Mode Change” command in the Quick Access Menu
Press the to access the Quick Access Menu and see the options available for the
vehicle requiring a Relearn. Options that are not required on a vehicle will not be displayed.
Special service advice for Toyota Models:
Toyota ECU
Reset
If at any time the vehicle TPMS Reset button is pressed with the new sensor IDs fitted,
the ECU OBD relearn will not work until the Toyota ECU Reset is selected (with the tool
connected to OBD). The TPMS Reset button should only be used to set new tire
pressures, and on some vehicles to change between winter and summer ID sets.
Special service advice for Kia and Hyundai Models:
Reset YD Sensor
For some Kia and Hyundai vehicles with the newer low line TRW YD sensors, this allows
you to put the sensors back into the correct mode (Sleep or Rest) to work with the
vehicle.
This specific Service advice will only appear if applicable for the preselected Make, Model and Year
combination.

PROGRAMMABLE SENSOR
The “Programmable Sensor” Point on the service menu enables the function of programming aftermarket replacement
sensors like the RITE-SENSOR®, HUF IntelliSens® or the Schrader EZ-sensor®. Even when they are already mounted in a
wheel or programmed to another vehicle. The user can choose from a selection of sensors which match the preselected
MMY. At which point the user has the ability to create or copy a sensor. Note- the sensor must be read before copying.
Copy Sensor Set
Used to Copy/Clone a winter tire set with the same ID´s as the summer tire set.
Requires the reading of the old sensor to program the same ID on the replacement
sensor to avoid the relearning process.
Create ID
Used to create a single sensor with a new ID. Can be repeated as many times as
requested. The ID needs to be relearned to the vehicle’s ECU. The following pages will
describe this procedure.
Copy/Clone ID
Used to Copy/Clone a single ID. Can be repeated as many times as requested. Requires
the reading of the old sensor to program the same ID on the replacement sensor to
avoid the relearning process.
Enter ID Manually
Used to create a Sensor with a new ID that can be typed in manually. This option only
appears for some sensors. If it is not possible to copy the ID, enter the same ID
manually, which is written on the sensors body.
Copy Using stored
data
Gives you the option of using stored IDs either read from the TPMS sensors or from the
vehicle OBD

OBD DIAGNOSTICS
OBD Diagnostics is the function of connecting the Tech550PRO to the OBDII port of the vehicle to be able and read any
TPMS related information in the ECM. The tool will capture the following information:
•DTCs (TPMS)
•VIN
•Sensor IDs
•Placard Settings Successfully
Viewing the DTCs will allow you to
determine if there is another fault before beginning the TPMS service or allowing the vehicle to leave the facility. Some
DTCs may need further diagnostics as to what they are. If a code is followed by a H, it is a historic code that has been
present for some time.
Viewing the VIN will display the VIN stored in the ECM (Should be the
same as other VINs on vehicle).
Viewing the Sensor IDs will allow you to determine what current TPMS
IDs are stored in what location on the vehicle according to the ECM.
Viewing the placard settings will identify what they are currently set at
in the ECM. Please note that all not all vehicles allow you to change the
placard settings.
After any TPMS service is completed, you can go back to OBD diagnostics to ensure that the TPMS IDs have been changed
to the correct location. As well as if you change the placard settings you can go back through the OBD diagnostics to
ensure that the value is set to +/- 3% of the original wheel size.
