For your own safety and the safety of others, and to prevent damage to the
device and vehicles upon which it is used, it is important that the safety
instructions herein presented throughout this manual be read and
understood by all persons operating, or coming into contact with, the device.

There are various procedures, techniques, tools, and parts for servicing
vehicles, as well as in the skill of the person doing the work. Because of the
vast number of test applications and variations in the products that can be
tested with this equipment, we cannot possibly anticipate or provide advice
or safety messages to cover every circumstance. It is the automotive

technician’s responsibility to be knowledgeable of the system being tested. It

is crucial to use proper service methods and test procedures. It is essential
to perform tests in an appropriate and acceptable manner that does not
endanger your safety, the safety of others in the work area, the device being
used, or the vehicle being tested.

Before using the device, always refer to and follow the safety messages and
applicable test procedures provided by the manufacturer of the vehicle or
equipment being tested. Use the device only as described in this manual.
Read, understand, and follow all safety messages and instructions in this
manual.

Safety Messages

Safety messages are provided to help prevent personal injury and
equipment damage. All safety messages are introduced by a signal word
indicating the hazard level.

DANGER

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result
in death or serious injury to the operator or to bystanders.

WARNING

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result
in death or serious injury to the operator or to bystanders.

iii

Safety Instructions

To prevent personal injury or damage to vehicles and/or the scan tool, read
this instruction manual first and observe the following safety precautions at a
minimum whenever working on a vehicle:

 Always perform diagnosis or service in a safe environment.
 Wear safety eye protection that meets ANSI standards.
 Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, etc. away from all

moving or hot engine parts.

 Operate the vehicle in a well-ventilated work area: Exhaust gases are

poisonous.

 Put blocks in front of the drive wheels and never leave the vehicle

unattended while running tests.

 Use extreme caution when working around the ignition coil, distributor

cap, ignition wires and spark plugs. These components create
hazardous voltages when the engine is running.

 Keep a fire extinguisher suitable for gasoline / chemical / electrical fires

nearby.

 Put the transmission in PARK (for automatic transmission) or NEUTRAL

(for manual transmission) and make sure the parking brake is engaged.

 Refer to the user’s manual for the vehicle being serviced and adhere to

all diagnostic procedures and precautions. Otherwise personal injury or
unneeded repairs may result.

 Keep the TPMS tool dry, clean, free from oil, water and grease. Use a

mild detergent on a clean cloth to clean the outside of the TPMS tool
when necessary.

2 General Information

TPMS System Review

A tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is an electronic system designed

to monitor the air pressure inside the pneumatic tires on various types of

vehicles. TPMS report real-time tire-pressure information to the driver of the

vehicle, either via a gauge, a pictogram display, or a simple low-pressure

warning light. TPMS can be divided into two different types — direct (dTPMS)

and indirect (iTPMS). TPMS are provided both at an OEM (factory) level as

well as an aftermarket solution.

TPMS Legislation

In the United States, the United States Department of Transportation

(NHTSA) released the FMVSS No. 138, which requires an installation of a

Tire Pressure Monitoring System to all new passenger cars, multipurpose

passenger vehicles, trucks, and buses that have a gross vehicle weight

rating (GVWR) of 4,536 kg (10,000 lbs.) or less, except those vehicles with

dual wheels on an axle, as of 2007. In the European Union, starting

November 1, 2012, all new models of passenger cars must be equipped with

a TPMS, with even tighter specifications that will be defined by the UNECE

Vehicle Regulations (Regulation No. 64). From November 1, 2014, all new

passenger cars sold in the European Union must be equipped with TPMS.

On July 13, 2010, the South Korean Ministry of Land, Transport and

Maritime Affairs announced a pending partial-revision to the Korea Motor

Vehicle Safety Standards (KMVSS), specifying that “TPMS shall be installed

to passenger vehicles and vehicles of GVW 3.5 tons or less, ... [effective] on

January 1, 2013 for new models and on June 30, 2014 for existing models”.

Japan is expected to adopt European Union legislation approximately one

year after European Union implementation. Further countries to make TPMS

mandatory include Russia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Israel, Malaysia and

Turkey.

TPMS Tell-tale Light

When diagnosing TPMS systems, you should understand what the TPMS

tell-tale light means.

4

When turning the ignition OFF to ON, the TPMS tell-tale should come on,

and then go off, which indicates the system is working fine. If the light stays

on, there would be a pressure problem. If the light flashes, there is a system

problem, which can be faulty sensors or the fact that the vehicle hasn’t

learned the sensor yet.

Benefits of TPMS

The significant advantages of TPMS are summarized as follows:

 Fuel saving

 Extended tire life

 Decreased downtime and maintenance

 Improved safety

 Environmental efficiency
