System requirements: PC running Windows® 10 or more recent
In this article we give you the procedure to follow to try to wake up your TX Racing
Wheel.
Important note:
The wake-up procedure only applies in the specific case whereby the racing wheel
base will not power on
-The racing wheel does not self-calibrate (automatic movements of the
wheel rim from left to right).
-No LEDs light up on the racing wheel’s servo base.
Things to verify before getting started
-It is imperative that a Thrustmaster wheel be mounted on the servo base
of the TX Racing Wheel.
-It is imperative to follow the connection instructions.
oThe power plug must be properly plugged into a wall outlet
▪We recommend that you avoid using an extension cord,
power strip or current transformer.
oThe racing wheel base will have to be directly connected to a USB
port on the PC
▪We recommend that you avoid using a USB hub, a USB
extension, or any other type of connection extension
Tip on connecting the power cable to the back of the servo base.
-Make sure the plug is firmly inserted.

Update : January 2024
1) Make sure that you have installed the latest PC - DRIVERS FORCE
FEEDBACK driver on your PC
If necessary, you will find the driver for your device on our website, in the Drivers

Restart your computer to complete the update.

-DO NOT CONNECT the racing wheel to your PC’s USB before being
prompted to do so.

5) Launch the firmware updating app on your PC.
Click in the Windows search magnifying glass field (located on your PC’s taskbar),
type Firmware Update and then click to launch the app.
6) The "Thrustmaster – Firmware Updater" window appears onscreen
-Device: shows the device in [Boot] mode
-Firmware: displays the firmware version that will be applied to the device

Update : January 2024
Note: If nothing is displayed in the Device or Firmware sections, repeat the
entire procedure from the beginning — but this time connecting the USB
connector to another USB port on your computer (or perform the procedure on
a different computer).
Also, if you have a desktop PC, we recommend using a USB port located on
the back of the central unit.
7) Click OK to carry out the firmware update
8) Wait while the Firmware is updating
-Wait for the Firmware to load.
oDO NOT DISCONNECT the racing wheel from the PC's USB port.

The firmware updating app will then let you know whether the procedure has been
successful.
The racing wheel self-calibrates (automatic movements of the wheel rim from left to
right), and its LED lights up again.
Click OK then close the Firmware updater.
Note: In the event that this procedure fails, repeat the entire procedure from the
beginning — but this time connecting the USB connector to another USB port
on your computer (or perform the procedure on a different computer).

provide you with other solutions.
