Foreword
Dear Customer,
Thanks for choosing our product. This product has been designed to give you years of satisfactory service. To ensure this, please read this User Manual thoroughly before using the product and keep the manual in a safe place for future reference.
Our exhaustive range of products sets a new standard in TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) diagnostics while offering an aesthetically pleasing design.
All of our products are designed and manufactured to the highest quality standards.
TPM-02 will prove an indispensable tool for:
• Checking sensor operation before servicing the tires (when vehicle is brought in for service or repair).
• Establishing proper operation of the TPMS system when the customer picks up the vehicle.
• Determining why the “Tire Pressure” (TPMS) light turns on.
• Ensuring that sensor provides accurate pressure and temperature readings.
• Measuring the pressure of wireless tires (with no need to unscrew valve cap
and connect a compressed air line with pressure gauge).
• Enabling time-saving, safe repair procedures with reference information (such as torque figures or part numbers) always handy to avoid damage due to improper procedures.
• Ensuring that sensors are refitted in their original positions after service (positioning tool)
• Perform a TPMS coding operation after a sensor replacement.

9. What is a TPMS system?
The TPMS or Tire Pressure Monitoring System continually monitors tire pressures and temperatures and sends the information to the body computer to have it displayed on the instrument panel. The system is made up of an ECU placed inside the cab that receives radio frequency pressure and temperature signals from four sensors installed inside the tires. When the vehicle is running, the sensors transmit their signals every 20-30 seconds approximately. In the event of a significant pressure variation, transmission interval is shortened to 8-10 seconds. When the vehicle is at standstill, transmission interval may vary between 10 and 40 minutes, depending on the type of sensor installed.
10. TPMS indicator lights
Outlined below are the most significant TPMS indicator lights.
Depending on the type of vehicle, this light may indicate one of the following conditions:
• Turns on to indicate that the pressure of one or more tires is above or below the specified rated pressure.
• Turns on to indicate a TPMS malfunction (for instance, when one of the sensors is malfunctioning).
•
Light operation may vary to differentiate indications when tire pressure has crossed the warning or alert thresholds.

Tire location indicator
This light indicates the location of the under- or overinflated tire. The light may be associated with a display message.
Display messages “Check tire pressure
”
Audio Alarms
Audio alarm for wrong tire pressure or TPMS malfunction
11. Type of sensors
Sensors may be grouped into two broad categories, depending on whether they are incorporated into valve body or not as shown in the table below.
Design 1
The valve shown in the figure is made up two elements:
- pressure sensor
- valve body Valve body is made up of four elements: retaining screw, valve, nut and valve cap.
Design 2
The valve shown in the figure is a single component that incorporates both pressure sensor and tire valve. This valve design also features a grommet/O-ring (to keep air from escaping past the hole in the rim), a nut and the valve cap.
In design 1, valve and sensor may be replaced separately when needed; in design 2, valve and sensor are replaced as a set.
