1.5. Operating Instructions
1.5.1. Positioning the tool
The tool:
• reads and diagnoses TPMS sensors,
• resets the vehicle’s ECU via the OBD-II interface,
• sends sensor data to the system.
The illustration below shows how to:
• position the tool to read a TPMS sensor,
• connect the optional OBD module to the vehicle’s OBD-II connector.
Please note: When the vehicle is in “learn mode” some vehicles will confirm that the
sensor information has been communicated with the TPMS system through a series of
beeps.
1.5.2. Service procedures
1.5.2.1. Check sensors
Before servicing the tires/wheels, you must read each of the vehicle's
TPMS sensors using the tool to make sure the TPMS sensors are working
properly.
This will eliminate any concerns over their proper working order and enable
preventive replacements to be made to damaged or defective sensors. This
procedure does not change the vehicle settings. To change a vehicle’s TPMS settings, the
vehicle must be placed in learn mode. This procedure has no effect on the vehicle’s TPMS
settings.
Once the vehicle’s TPMS sensors have been read, you can service the wheels or tires.
