DIAGNOSTIC SOFTWARE
IMPORTANT
It is important to make sure that there is no loss
of power to the SmarTire
®
TPMS during the Learn
Sensor procedure. Power interruptions will result in
some - and potentially all - stored sensor location
information being lost, and the procedure will have
to be repeated.
For SmarTire TPMS system maintenance,
Version 6.5 (or higher) of the Bendix
®
ACom
®
Diagnostic Software is required.
Read and understand the General Safety Guidelines
on page two of this document before beginning any
maintenance work on the vehicle.
Bendix ACom Diagnostic Software is an RP-1210
compliant PC-based diagnostic software program that
provides the highest level of diagnostic support for the
SmarTire TPMS system. The latest version of the
software is available for download at www.bendix.com.
These instructions will cover the use of the software to
program sensor IDs. For details about other functions
such as: setting system warning parameters; retrieving
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs); and verifying System
congurations, please see BW2799.
Connect the SmarTire ECU in the receiver to your PC
through the vehicle’s diagnostic connector via an RP-1210
compliant communications device.
