1.10 OBDII Module Upgrade (300PRO Only)
The Tech300PRO tool can be upgraded to add OBDII communications and functionality by purchasing and installing the OBDII
Upgrade Kit (see Section 10.3 for part number).
To install the OBDII Upgrade Kit to your Tech300PRO:
1. Remove the base plate (stamped with OBD)
from the bottom of your tool. This is most easily
done by inserting a small flathead screwdriver
into one of the holes and gently prying it up
until it releases.
2. With your tool face up, insert the module with
the longer 8-pin row of the ODBII connector at
the bottom.
3. Once the module is properly oriented, place the
tool on edge and use both thumbs to push until
the module is fully seated and snaps into place.
4. Connect the OBDII cable when you are ready to
connect to a vehicle. Turn the
thumbscrews until they are finger-tight to ensure a good connection.
5. Apply the supplied mylar sticker to the bottom of the tool around the installed module.
NOTE:
Once the ODBII module is inserted, the Tech300PRO automatically recognizes the hardware
change and will provide OBDII connection options when relevant to the function you are
performing, such as obtaining OBDII (DTC) or performing OBDII Relearns.

2.2.1 Operations Screen
The Operations screen is where you will complete all sensor
testing and relearn steps. The Arrow icon indicates your
current wheel position or icon selection.
2.3 Tool Positioning/Reading a Sensor
Proper tool positioning is important to ensure sensor reading and activation. The following sections will illustrate the different
sensor activation methods.
2.3.1 Standard LF Activation
Snap-in Sensors: Place the PRO Series tool on the tire, aimed
towards the TPMS sensor location (near the valve stem) as
shown below.
Banded Sensors (e.g. Ford): Place the PRO Series tool on the
tire, held 180° opposite of the valve stem as shown below.

PRO Series User Guide Rev6.2 Table of Contents
Page 16 April 20
USER GUIDE FOR PRO SERIES
2.3.2 Magnet Activation
If the procedure requires a magnet, the tool will instruct
the user to “Place magnet on stem”.
Place the magnet from your PRO Series kit over the valve
stem, position the tool alongside the stem, and press the
Test key.
2.3.3 ∆p (Lowering Pressure) Activation
If the sensor requires tire deflation (minimum of 10psi),
the tool will instruct the user to “Reduce Pressure”.
Position the tool alongside the valve stem. Begin releasing
air from the tire accordingly (this is easiest when using an
approved tool to press the valve core) and press the Test
key on the tool.
NOTE:
If the tool fails to read on the first try, continue releasing
air pressure and press Test again.
2.3.4 Indirect Systems
There are no pressure sensors used in indirect TPMS systems; as a rule, most indirect systems have a Reset button for
recalibrating the system. After selecting the MMY of the vehicle, refer to the on-tool prompts for completing the relearn
process.
Begin reducing
pressure, then
press Test

PRO Series User Guide Rev6.2 Table of Contents
Page 17 April 20
USER GUIDE FOR PRO SERIES
2.3.5 Sensor Responses
On the Operations screen, there are four possible results that can be
displayed at a wheel position after scanning a sensor:
## = Successful Read
If a sensor is read successfully, then the Operations screen displays
the air pressure readout at that wheel position.
? = Wrong Sensor Found
A “?” displayed at a wheel position means that a sensor that uses the same LF activation as the correct sensor for the Make,
Model, and Year selected has been found. Verify the MMY you have selected on the tool is correct, and that the correct sensor
part number has been fitted.
NOTE:
Because many TPMS sensors can look alike, Bartec recommends checking part numbers instead of a visual inspection of the
sensor.
X = Failed Read
If the scan period expires without reading a sensor, then the tool will emit three beeps and
indicate “Sensor Failure detected”. Pressing Test will attempt another scan and pressing Enter
will continue to the next step in the process. The sensor data will still be stored but will
indicate that the sensor “Failed to Read” if the scan fails 3 times.
When the tool returns to the Operations screen, an “X” will be displayed next to the failed
sensor’s wheel position.
D = Duplicate ID Found
A “D” indicates that the scanned sensor contains the same ID as another sensor on the vehicle. This error usually occurs when a
sensor ID is “copied” versus “created” during programming (see Section 4.8) for sensor programming procedures).

USER GUIDE FOR PRO SERIES
3.0 Understanding the TPMS Service
Before getting started with the TPMS service there are some thing that the user/technician should know before beginning the
service:
•What is the Status of the TPMS light
•Physical/Mechanical Inspection of the sensors
•Sensor Activation
These items are all highlighted below to ensure a proper TPMS service.
3.1 TPMS Light Status
Understanding the status of the vehicle’s TPMS malfunction indicator light (MIL) is
essential in TPMS diagnostics.
NOTE:
It is best to check the TPMS MIL status when first keying on the vehicle. Some
vehicles’ systems may initially display a flashing light at key-on but change to a solid
light after a set interval.
Solid MIL: Indicates low air pressure detected in one or more tires. Check and verify
that the air pressure of all tires is set to placard.
Flashing MIL: Indicates a TPMS system issue. Some example issues:
•Bad or missing sensor
•Sensor not learned to vehicle
•Sensor in wrong mode
•Receiver or control module issue
•Other system issue
3.2 Physical/Mechanical Inspection
Check for any of the following conditions:
Does the sensor have a dust cap?
Is there any visible corrosion?
Is the valve stem intact?
Does any other visible damage exist?
Grommet
Nut
Valve
Dust cap
Rubber

3.3 OBDII Data (Where Supported)
PRO Series tools equipped with an OBDII connection will extract the following
information from supported vehicles during a TPMS service:
•VINdicate
•DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes)
•Stored TPMS sensor IDs
4.0 Performing a New TPMS Service
The phrase “New TPMS Service” is exactly that: Starting a New TPMS Service on a vehicle.
The first recommended step with TPMS service will be selecting the correct vehicle which
can be set up in the following ways:
•Select by MMY (Make, Model, Year)
•Select by VINdicate
Note:
VINdicate is the process of working through the vehicles OBDII port and decoding the
vehicle identification number (VIN) along with and diagnostic trouble codes providing the
user with a more complete understanding of what the potential issues might be.
NOTE:
If the Year you are working on is not an option, ensure that your tool’s software is up-to-date (see Section 1.9). Contact Bartec
Technical Support (see Section 11.0) to verify whether a work-around exists.
