Before using this test equipment, please read the following safety information carefully.
ŸAlways perform automotive testing in a safe environment.Ÿ Do not connect or disconnect any test equipment while the ignition is on or the engine is running.Ÿ NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine. Do not operate the tool in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or heavy dust. Ÿ Use extreme caution when working around the ignition coil, distributor cap, ignition wires and spark plugs. These components create hazardous voltage when the engine is running.Ÿ Wear an ANSI-approved eye shield when testing or repairing vehicles.Ÿ DO NOT attempt to operate the tool while driving the vehicle. Have second personal operate the tool. Any distraction may cause an accident.Ÿ Put blocks in front of the drive wheels and never leave the vehicle unattended while testing.Ÿ To avoid damaging the tool or generating false data, please make sure the vehicle battery is fully charged and the connection to the vehicle DLC (Data Link Connector) is clear and secure.Ÿ Before starting the engine, put the gear lever in the Neutral position (for manual transmission) or in the Park (for automatic transmission) position to avoid injury.Ÿ Keep a fire extinguisher suitable for gasoline/chemical/electrical fires nearby.Ÿ Automotive batteries contain sulfuric acid that is harmful to skin. In operation, direct contact with the automotive batteries should be avoided. Keep the ignition sources away from the battery at all times.Ÿ Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, etc. away from all moving or hot engine parts.Ÿ Do not use the tool while standing in water. Ÿ Keep the tool dry, clean, free from oil, water or grease. Use a mild detergent on a clean cloth to clear the outside of the equipment when necessary.Ÿ Do not expose the tool or power adaptor to rain or wet conditions. Water entering the tool or power adaptor increases the risk of electric shock.Ÿ Do not install programmed TPMS sensors in damaged wheels.
ŸWhile programming a sensor, do not place the device close to several sensors at the same time, or the tool will detect more sensors, which may result in programming failure.Address: Heinrich-Hertz-Str. 10, D-50170 KerpenTHANK YOU FOR CHOOSING LAUNCH!If you have any questions on the operation of the unit, please contact LAUNCH Europe GmbH customer service center:Phone: [phone]

The tool can receive power via either of the following ways:The following packing list is for reference purpose only. For different destinations, the accessories (such as power adaptor or RF sensor) may vary. For details, please consult from the local dealer.Method 1: Via Diagnostic CableConnect one end of the diagnostic cable to the DB15 diagnostic connector of the tool, and the other end to the vehicle’s DLC (Data Link Connector) port.Method 2: Via Power AdaptorUse the charging cable and power adaptor to charge the tool. When the tool is charging, the charging LED illuminates solid red. After it is fully charged, the LED illuminates solid green.*Note: If the battery remains unused for a long period of time or the battery is completely discharged, it is normal that the tool will not power on while being charged. Please charge it for a period of 5 minutes and then turn it on.

Check the vehicle models that the tool covers. Intelligent Detection:TPMS:Perform various TPMS operations. It mainly includes TPMS sensor activation, programming, relearning and TPMS diagnostics functions.Diagnose:Diagnose a vehicle manually. It supports basic diagnostic functions for full vehicle systems of the most prevailing vehicle models. Perform commonly used repair & maintenance services. The tool automatically guides you directly to the fix and help you eliminate guesswork, without step-by-step manual menu selection.Reset (Service Function):Report:Manage TPMS reports, diagnostics reports, diagnostic records, and feedback your log files when encountered the software bugs or errors.Shop:Enable you to subscribe some extra software or service that are not integrated in the tool online. Vehicle Coverage:OE Inquiry:Inquires the original OE part number of the sensor. Upgrade:Update the diagnostic software and APK. Settings:Make some system adjustment and setting of the tool to your particular needs.

Connection & Diagnostics1). Make sure that the vehicle battery voltage range is 11-14Volts and the ignition is turned off.2). Locate the vehicle's DLC (Data Link Connector) port: the DLC is usually located 12 inches away from the center of the instrument panel, under or around the driver’s side for most vehicles. For some vehicles with special designs, the DLC may vary. Refer to the following figure for possible DLC location. If the DLC cannot be found, refer to the vehicle's service manual for the location. 3). Connect one end of the diagnostic cable to the DB15 diagnostic connector of the tool, and the other end to the vehicle’s DLC (Data Link Connector) port.4). Turn the ignition on. DO NOT start the engine.5). Now the vehicle diagnosis is ready. Choose either of the desired diagnosis methods (Intelligent Detect or Manual Diagnose) to start a diagnostic session.Note: DEMO is the recommended program for new users to get familiar with diagnostic procedures.

TPMS Operations
ENEN
1. Activate Sensor2. Program Sensor3. TPMS RelearnSteps: Place the TPMS antenna of the tool alongside the valve stem, point toward the sensor location, and press the Trigger button. Once the sensor is successfully activated and decoded, the screen will display the sensor data. This function allows users to activate TPMS sensor to view sensor data such as sensor ID, tire pressure, tire frequency, tire temperature and battery condition.This function allows users to program the sensor data to the LAUNCH-sensor and replace faulty sensor with low battery life or one that is not functioning.Note: Do not place the device close to several sensors at the same time, or the diagnostic tool will detect more sensors, which may result in programming failure.This function is used to write the newly programmed sensor IDs into the vehicle’s ECU for sensor recognition. Relearn operation applies only when the newly programmed sensor IDs are different from the original sensor IDs stored in the vehicle’s ECU.Steps: Insert the sensor to be programmed into the sensor slot of the tool, select the desired programming option and follow the on-screen instructions to proceed. Tap TPMSSelect vehicle manufacturerSelect vehicle model & yearSelect TPMS functionNote: For indirect TPMS vehicle, only the Relearning function is supported.For vehicle using Direct TPMS, it generally includes: Activation, Programming, Relearning and Diagnostics. The available TPMS functions may vary for different vehicles being serviced.For initial use, please follow the flow chart below to start using it.
