8. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Service Procedure
Section 1.0: Read Sensor Test
Before servicing the tires/wheels, using your TPMS TOOL,
trigger each of the vehicle's sensors to make sure they are
working properly.
This will eliminate the liability associated with replacingpreviously
damaged or defective sensors. This procedure will not change
the vehicle settings because the vehicle has yet to be put into
learn/retraining mode.
This procedure allows you to quickly identify damaged or defective sensors, because some vehicles
do not report a damaged or defective sensor condition on the instrument cluster for up to 20 minutes.
Note: If the sensors do not trigger, please refer to the Troubleshooting section of this Guide.
Perform tire/wheel service.
For vehicles that require retraining, please see to Section 2.0
Section 2.0: Learning TPM System
With the vehicle in learn mode, begin by triggering the driver's front
left (LF) wheel sensor. Many vehicles will provide an audible beep
confirming that the sensor ID has been learned by the vehicle on
board computer.
The communication between the sensor and the on board computer is also
confirmed on LCD displayof the TOOL.
The same procedure should be followed on all wheel sensors, in a clockwise
rotation, until all the vehicle sensors have been retrained.
After triggering the driver's rear wheel sensor,some vehicles will beep twice,
indicating thatthe TPM system has been retrained.
1 Start FL
4 End RL
FR 2
RR 3
For vehicles that do not require retraining, we recommend you trigger each wheel sensor, one final time,
to make sure they are working correctlyprior to releasingthe vehicle to the customer.
