6.2 Read/trigger sensor test
Before servicing the tires/wheels using your TPMS Manager, trigger each of the vehicle's sensors to
make sure they are working properly. This ensures that you are not liable for previously damaged or
defective sensors.
This procedure will not change the vehicle settings since the vehicle has not yet been put into learn/
retraining mode. This procedure allows you to quickly identify damaged or defective sensors, because
some vehicles do not indicate a damaged or defective sensor condition on the instrument cluster for up
to 20 minutes.
