3 SPECIFIC USER SAFETY RULES FOR 971 TSP
The technology used for the design and manufacturing control of the 971
TSP makes it a reliable, simple and safe device to use.
The personnel in charge of using the diagnostic tools is required to follow
the general safety rules and to use the 971 TSP tool for its intended use
only. Furthermore, they are required to carry out the maintenance as
described in this manual.
3.1 Glossary
Operator: a qualified person responsible for using the diagnostic tool.
Tool/device: any 971 TSP device.
3.2 General Rules

5 971 TSP
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is an electronic system
that controls the pressure of the air inside the tyres using sensors that
constantly communicate with the vehicle's control unit.
Thanks to the TPMS, the vehicle's control unit is able to supply the driver
with a large amount of information, among which a sudden change in the
tyre's pressure and autonomy in case of a puncture.
The 971 TSP is a diagnostic device specifically designed and
manufactured for the maintenance of the sensors in the TPMS, and in
particular to allow appropriate interventions when the sensor in the tyre
valves is replaced.
The control unit in charge of the tyre pressure control, detected through the
sensors located on the wheels, must know the identification code (ID) of
the sensor of each wheel in order to be able to communicate with them.
If a sensor is replaced, if the ID changes, the control unit must be informed.
If the control unit is not capable of learning the new sensors automatically
after a test drive, that is to detect their type and position (for example: front
right wheel), the identification can be carried out thanks to the 971 TSP in
two ways:
1. byactivatingthesensorthroughthe971 TSP,with thevehiclestationary and
in relearn mode,
2. by reading the IDs through the 971 TSP and writing them into the control
unit's memory using a diagnostic tool via OBD.
15
en

The identification mode varies based on the vehicle's features and on
what is indicated in the operating procedures in the device.
971 TSP is a practical and reliable tool, suitable for the needs of any
workshop,sinceit is compact, easy touseand compatible with the sensors
of the main manufacturers.
