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.

Tool update
8 Troubleshooting
If the TPMS Manager is unable to trigger one or more of the sensors using either electronic or magnetic
activation, please check the following possibilities:
The vehicle does not have a sensor even though a metal valve stem is present. Be aware of
Schrader rubber snap-in stems used in TPMS systems.
The sensor, module or ECU itself may be damaged or defective.
The sensor may be of a type that periodically triggers of its own accord and may not be designed to
respond to a triggering frequency.
Your TPMS Manager may require a software update.
Check "Auto Off" time settings for screen display.
Your TPMS Manager is damaged or defective.
