2. General Information

2.1 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.

2.2 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.

2.3 TPMS Tell-tale Light

When diagnosing TPMS systems, you should understand what the
TPMS tell-tale light means.

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 would be a system problem, which can range from faulty sensors
to sensors on the vehicle that haven’t been learned to that vehicle.

2.4 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.

4. TPMS Check & Diagnostics

The MaxiTPMS® TS501 is a new generation TPMS diagnostic &
service tool specially designed to activate all known OEM/Universal
TPMS sensors, and provide users with direct access to the vehicle’s
ECU through OBD II connection, thus allowing users to reprogram
sensor IDs and retrieve/clear TPMS DTCs, helping technicians to
quickly find out faulty TPMS and turn off MILs.

NOTE: All software screens shown in this manual are examples,

actual test screens may vary for each vehicle being tested.
Observe the menu titles and onscreen instructions to make correct
option selections.

4.1 TPMS Sensor Check

The sensor check function allows activating of TPMS sensor to view
sensor data such as sensor ID, tire pressure, tire temperature, sensor

Today's keyless remotes -- also known as key fobs -- make life easier.
But when your key fob stops working or starts to perform sporadically,
it will be particularly frustrating. Check your key fob to make sure it is
in top condition so it will work when you really need it.

Since a key fob is attuned to a special frequency that is only detected
by the car for which it was issued, you will need to use your vehicle to
test the fob. Otherwise you will have to take it to a dealership or an
automotive locksmith to have it tested for the right frequency. But with
our TPMS tool, the key fob testing becomes easy and convenient.

1) Use the UP/DOWN scroll button and LEFT/RIGHT scroll button
to select RKE & RF Monitor from Main Menu (Figure 3.1), and

buttons on key fob to test. If the button works and the key fob is
sending a signal, the tool will beep and the screen shows as below.
If the button does not work, the tool will do nothing. To make sure
each button is working properly, please test each button in turn.

Figure 6.1

 The progress bar indicates the approximate power level of the

key fob.

 The stronger the signal, the higher the beep tone.
