Programming Sensor Codes into the Display
Note: Keep all sensors at least three feet away from the sensor being paired.
Note: Sensors will begin reading as soon as they are coded into the display. When returning to the main screen by
pushing the BACK button twice, you may hear an alarm and see a pressure reading of “0”. This is normal. Once the
high/low settings are in place and set up is complete, these alarms will not sound. Simply push any button quickly to
silence the alarm.
Note: It is recommended to label each sensor first with the provided tire position stickers, similar to the following
pattern, before you code the sensors. This allows for easy sensor and tire position identification. See Figure 4.
Figure 4: Tire Sensor Position Pattern
Automatic Code Learning (option #1)
Note: Code all of the sensors to the display BEFORE screwing them onto the tire valve stem, unless otherwise
noted.
1. Push and hold the SET button until it beeps. The HI PRESSURE SET parameter will blink at the bottom of
the screen. Push the + button and scroll through the parameters until LEARN ID appears.
2. Quickly push and release the SET button. The first tire on the display will blink. If programming a different
tire, press the + button to move to the correct tire. Push the SET button again and FFF FFF will flash. Touch
the desired sensor for that tire position to the bottom of the display and then push the GO button. See

3. The display will capture the sensor code and show it on the screen. Push and release the SET button to
save the code to that tire position. When coded correctly, a unique six-digit code will be shown.
4. Use the + button to move to the next tire position to be programmed. Push and release the SET button
and FFF FFF will flash. Place the sensor for that tire position at the bottom of the display and press the GO
button to capture the sensor code. See Figure 5. Press SET again to save. Continue this process for each
tire position/sensor.
5. When all the sensors have been coded, pressing the BACK button twice will take you to the main screen.
Note: The sensors will begin reading "0" pressure and an alarm will sound. This is part of the normal setup
process. Press any button to silience the alarm while you continue your setup.
Pressure Code Learning (option #2)
1. Screw the sensors partly onto each designated valve stem. Do NOT screw them down far enough to hear
air escaping out.
2. Push and hold the SET button until it beeps. The HI PRESSURE SET parameter will blink at the bottom of
the screen. Push the + button and scroll through the parameters until LEARN ID appears.
3. Quickly push and release the SET button. The first tire on the display will blink. If programing a different
tire, press the + button to move to the correct tire. Push the SET button again and FFF FFF will flash.
4. Tighten the sensor down on the corresponding tire valve stem. The sensor code will display and flash.
5. The display will capture the sensor code and show it on the screen. Push and release the SET button to
save the code to that tire position. When coded correctly, a six-digit unique code will be shown.
6. To remove the sensor code, push BACK once. FFF FFF will reappear.
7. When all the sensors have been coded, pressing the BACK button twice will take you to the main screen.
Manual Coding (option #3)
Note: This method is mainly used to program sensor codes from an old display to a new display if you do not have
the sensors available. This method is not recommended for programming a new system.

Sensor Installation
Installing the Cap Sensor After Code Pairing
CAUTION: DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN THE CAP SENSOR. DAMAGE CAN OCCUR.
Note: The cap sensors will start to transmit data after they are paired to the TPMS display.
Note: The first time the display is turned on, it can take up to 20 minutes to receive all cap sensor data.
1. Screw the correctly labelled cap sensor onto the tire valve stem.
2. If applicable, install the correctly labeled cap sensor onto the appropriate flow-thru bulkhead located inside
the flow-thru bracket assembly. Go to TireView™ TPMS Flow-thru Bracket Assembly on page 28.
3. Tighten the cap sensor until air stops leaking.
4. Slightly twist the cap sensor to fully seat it.
Install the Internal Sensor
CAUTION: DO NOT PLACE THE TIRE CHANGE SHOVEL ABOVE THE TIRE VALVE STEM. PLACE THE
TIRE CHANGE SHOVEL 5.9 IN. (15 CM) AWAY FROM THE TIRE VALVE STEM. FOLLOW TIRE CHANGE
SHOVEL MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS.
1. Remove the wheel from the vehicle and deflate the tire.
2. Use the tire change shovel to demount the tire from the wheel. See Figure 6.
3. Make sure the rubber pad has been installed on the sensor. See Figure 7.
4. Attach the sensor to the band clamp assembly with the accompanying hardware. See Figure 7.
5. Put the sensor and band clamp assembly in the center position of the wheel hub. See Figure 9.
6. Place the sensor 180° from the valve stem.
7. Apply thread locker to the band clamp assembly screw threads. See Figure 8.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE THE BAND CLAMP ASSEMBLY IS COMPLETELY INSTALLED ON THE
WHEEL HUB AND DOES NOT MOVE OR SWAY.
8. Tighten the band clamp assembly on the wheel hub. See Figure 9.
9. Torque the band clamp screw to 30-45 in-lbs (3.4-5.1 Nm).
10. Cut off excess band if applicable.
11. Install the tire onto the wheel hub.
12. Inflate the tire to the manufacturer's recommended pressure.
13. Use a balancing machine to balance the wheel with correction weights. An unbalanced wheel may
experience excessive vibrations at high speeds.
14. Install the wheel on the vehicle per manufacturer's instructions.
