User’s Manual
007935900385

Foreword
Dear Customer,
Thanks for choosing our product. This product has been designed to give you years of
satisfactory service. To ensure this, please read this User Manual thoroughly before
using the product and keep the manual in a safe place for future reference.
Our exhaustive range of products sets a new standard in TPMS (Tire Pressure
Monitoring System) diagnostics while offering an aesthetically pleasing design.
All of our products are designed and manufactured to the highest quality standards.
TPM-II will prove to be an indispensable tool for:
Checking sensor operation before servicing the tires (when vehicle is brought in
for service or repair).
Establishing proper operation of the TPMS system when the customer picks up
the vehicle.
Determining why the “Tire Pressure” (TPMS) light turns on.
Ensuring that sensor provides accurate pressure and temperature readings.
Measuring wireless the pressure of tires (with no need to unscrew valve cap and
connect a compressed air line with pressure gauge).
Enabling time-saving, safe repair procedures with reference information (such as
torque figures or part numbers) always handy to avoid damage due to improper
procedures.
Ensuring that sensors are refitted in their original positions after service
(positioning tool)
Programming of programmable sensors like SensIT and EZ sensor to replace a
defective OEM sensor
Perform a TPMS coding operation after a sensor replacement.

Instrument first use:
The battery has been partially charged, but it may be
necessary to recharge it before using the instrument.
Note: batteries must be charged and discharged once
every three months to ensure a battery longer life.

4. What is a TPMS system?
The TPMS or Tire Pressure Monitoring System continually monitors tire pressures and
temperatures and sends the information to the vehicle’s body computer to have it
displayed on the instrument panel. The system is made up of an ECU placed inside the
vehicle cab that receives radio frequency pressure and temperature signals from four
sensors installed inside the tires.
When the vehicle is running, the sensors transmit their signals every 20-30 seconds
approximately. In the event of a significant pressure variation, transmission interval is
shortened to 8-10 seconds.
When the vehicle is at standstill, transmission interval may vary between 10 and 40
minutes, depending on the type of sensor installed.
5. TPMS indicator lights
Outlined below are the most significant TPMS indicator lights.
Depending on the type of vehicle, this light may
indicate one of the following conditions:
Turns on to indicate that the pressure of
one or more tires is above or below the
specified rated pressure.
Turns on to indicate a TPMS malfunction
(for instance, when one of the sensors is
malfunctioning).
Light operation may vary to differentiate
indications when tire pressure has crossed
the warning or alert thresholds.

Tire location indicator
This light indicates the location of the under- or
overinflated tire.
The light may be associated with a display
message.
Display messages
“Check tire pressure”
Audio Alarms
Audio alarm for wrong tire pressure or TPMS
malfunction
6. Type of sensors
Sensors may be grouped into two broad categories, depending on whether they are
incorporated into valve body or not as shown in the table below.
Design 1
The valve shown in the figure is made up two elements:
-pressure sensor
-valve body
Valve body is made up of four elements: retaining screw, valve, nut
and valve cap.

Design 2
The valve shown in the figure is a single component that incorporates
both pressure sensor and tire valve. This valve design also features a
grommet/O-ring (to keep air from escaping past the hole in the rim),
a nut and the valve cap.
In design 1, valve and sensor may be replaced separately when
needed; in design 2, valve and sensor are replaced as a set.

17.2. TPM II–PC Setup Communication
Wireless communication reduces the number of wires/cables in the
workshop. This reduces both obstacles interfering with people’s
movement in the shop and mechanical shock from the PC or TPM II tool
due to accidental collision.
The TPM II can communicate with a PC in 2 different ways:
- USB
- Bluetooth wireless communication
On the tool is showed which communication type is enabled
There is no USB symbol found in the tool
when the tool is connected to a pc
Bluetooth symbol is present see picture.
17.3. Bluetooth Setup
Before proceeding with this section, be sure that the Bluetooth driver
for the Bluetooth peripheral on the PC is correctly installed.
To avoid conflict with the driver and the software management, please
check that only 1 Bluetooth peripheral is active on the PC.
The Bluetooth on the TPM II tool is a device classified as Class 1
distance in open space (space without any obstacle). Please use a
Bluetooth peripheral device PC of at least Class 1 to ensure proper
communication in a workshop area ranging between 15-20m from the

car.
A homologated Bluetooth dongle is optional available. We advise using
this dongle to prevent disappointments as not all dongles are the same.
17.4. Bluetooth Setup for Windows 7
The procedure depicted in this paragraph is valid only for the Windows 7 operating
system. The same procedure can be followed for other operating systems using the
different windows and setups specific for that operating system.
Please carefully check that the Bluetooth driver is installed in and supported by your
operating system.
