The Quickset X is a specialized tool designed for managing and maintaining Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS). It facilitates the process of relearning TPMS sensors after tire rotations, replacements, or sensor changes, ensuring the vehicle's ECU accurately recognizes the new sensor data. The device supports both OBDII and manual relearn procedures, making it versatile for various vehicle makes and models.

Getting Started:
- From the Main Menu, select "SERVICE TPMS".
- Select the vehicle's Make, Model, and year.
- If applicable, select the number of wheels.
OBDII Relearn Procedure:
- All sensors must be scanned before transferring data to the vehicle's ECU.
- Select the Left Front tire on the display.
- Position the tool's antenna on the sidewall of the tire near the valve and press the Trigger Button to activate the sensor.
- The display will show sensor information including Sensor ID, Pressure, Temperature, and Frequency.
- Repeat this process for the Right Front, Right Rear, and Left Rear tires.
- Once all sensors are scanned, select the "RELEARN" button and press OK.
- On the relearn selection screen, choose "OBDII RELEARN".
- Connect the OBD Quick Connect cable to the tool and the vehicle's OBDII port. Ensure the vehicle's ignition is in the ON position.
- Press OK to begin transferring sensor data.
- Upon successful transfer, the tool will display "TRANSFER SUCCESSFUL", indicating the relearn is complete.
Manual Relearn Procedure:
- Before performing a manual relearn, read the relearn instructions provided by the tool. Select the "RELEARN" button.
- On the relearn selection screen, choose "MANUAL RELEARN".
- The tool will display vehicle-specific instructions for the manual relearn. These instructions typically involve applying the parking brake, turning the vehicle to ON/RUN, navigating the vehicle's DIC (Driver Information Center) to the tire pressure display, and pressing/holding specific buttons (e.g., SET/CLR).
- Once the vehicle is in "learn mode" (often indicated by horn chirps), begin activating the sensors.
- Position the tool in front of the Left Front tire's sensor and press the Trigger Button.
- Repeat this process for the Right Front, Right Rear, and Left Rear tires.
- After all sensors have been scanned, the vehicle's horn will sound twice, confirming a successful relearn.
Tool Tips:
- When triggering sensors, position the tool's antenna on the sidewall of the tire near the valve.
- The OBD Quick Connector is essential for OBD vehicle relearns. Plug the OBDII cable into the tool and the vehicle with the ignition ON. Sensor data cannot be transferred while the ignition is OFF.
