6. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
6.1. TPMSTOOL OVERVIEW
Read and diagnose sensors.
Service Procedure
Read Sensor Test
Before servicing the tires/wheels, using your
TPMS TOOL, trigger each of the vehicle's sensors to
MAIN MENU
make sure they are working properly.
This will eliminate the liability associated with
replacing previously damaged or defective sensors.
CHECK SENSOR
This procedure will not change the vehicle settings because the vehicle has yet to be put
into learn/retraining mode. This procedure allows you to quickly identify damaged or
defective sensors, because some vehicles do not report a damaged or defective sensor
condition on the instrument cluster for up to 20 minutes.
Note: If the sensors do not trigger, please refer to the Troubleshooting section of this Guide.
Perform tire/wheel service.
Begin by triggering the driver's left front (LF) wheel sensor.
The same procedure should be followed on all wheel sensors, in a
clockwise rotation.
1 Start LF
RF 2
We recommend you trigger each wheel sensor, one final time, to
make sure they are working correctly prior to releasing the vehicle to
the customer.
