6. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
6.1. TPMS TOOL OVERVIEW
Read and diagnose sensors, OBD2 ECU reset and transfer data to ECU.
Note: With some vehicles, if the vehicle is in “learn mode” the vehicle will also confirm that the
TPM sensor has communicated to the ECM with a series of horn beeps.
Service Procedure
Section 1.0: Read Sensor Test
Before servicing the tires/wheels, using your TPMS TOOL, trigger each of the
vehicle's sensors to make sure they are working properly.
This will eliminate the liability associated with replacing previously damaged or defective sensors.
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.
For vehicles that require retraining, please see to Section 2.0
Section 2.0: Learning TPM System
With the vehicle in learn mode, begin by triggering the driver's front left (LF) wheel
sensor. Some vehicles will provide an audible chirp confirming that the sensor ID
has been learned by the vehicle on board computer.
The communication between the sensor and the on board computer is also confirmed
on LCD display of the TOOL.
The same procedure should be followed on all wheel sensors, in a clockwise
rotation, until all the vehicle sensors have been retrained.
After triggering the driver's rear wheel sensor, some vehicles will chirp twice
indicating that the TPM system has been retrained.
For vehicles that do not require retraining, 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.

MISCELLANEOUS
1. CHARGE
Low Battery Indication
Your TPMS TOOL incorporates a low
battery detection circuit. Battery life is an
average of 800 sensor tests per battery
charge (approximately 160 to 200 vehicles)
this may change following the sensor
model.
Battery indicator status:
0% 25% 50% 75% 100%
When 0% is flashing the tool will turn off after 10
seconds.
The battery is charging.
The battery has an issue, please contact
after sales service.
DO NOT use the tool with low battery status because the transmission and emission may not
be reliable.
When charging, the battery light is red and
becomes green when the battery is fully charged.
Two means for charging the tool:
Directly plug the supply jack to the tool and plug the supply in an appropriate outlet.
Plug the jack to the docking station and install the tool in. The docking and in all cases,
the LED "CHARGE" light will turn on (red).
Battery replacement
It's recommended to return the tool to the factory for battery replacement.

type battery charger to charge a Lithium
Polymer battery.
If the battery begins to overheat more than
60°C (140° F), STOP IMMEDIATELY the
charge. The battery should NEVER exceed
60°C (140° F) during the charging process.
NEVER charge the battery immediately after
