1. ACTIVATE-A LOW FREQUENCY (LF) WIRELESS SIGNAL IS SENT Through TOOL ANTENNA TO THE SENSOR INSIDE THE
TIRE. THIS ALLOWS TECHNICIAN TO READ TIRE PRESSURE, ID NUMBER, TEMP AND BATTERY STATUS WITHOUT
DRIVING THE VEHICLE.
2. AFTERMARKET SENSOR-REPLACEMENT SENSORS SUPPLIED BY LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORES OR TIRE SUPPLIERS. THE
SENSOR MAY NOT PHYSICALLY LOOK LIKE THE OE SENSOR.
YOUR TOOL HAS SPECIAL PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE BASED ON THE SPECIFIC SENSOR BRAND.
3. AUTO RELEARN-SENSOR ID NUMBERS ARE SENT TO THE ECU AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR A SPECIFIED TIME.
YOUR TOOL WILL INDICATE THE REQUIRED DRIVING TIME UNDER SERVICE TPMS ICON.
4. BATTERY LIFE-SENSORS HAVE AN INTERNAL LITHIUM ION BATTERY WHICH CAN NOT BE REPLACED. TYPICAL LIFE
IS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 5-10 YEARS. YOUR TOOL WILL DISPLAY NO SENSOR DETECTED ON THE SCREEN IF SENSOR
BATTERY HAS FAILED. A DTC CAN BE SET IN THE ECU ALSO.
5. CLONEABLE OR CLONING-USED ONLY BY AFTERMARKET SENSOR BRANDS TO COPY THE ID NUMBER AND
COMMONLY SKIP THE RELEARN PROCEDURE. NOT RECOMMENDED BY OE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER. ALWAYS
RELEARN THE TPM SYSTEM WHEN CHANGING A SENSOR.
6. CROSS TALK-WHEN THE TPMS TOOL SIGNAL GETS CONFUSED BY ANOTHER SENSOR SIGNAL. EXAMPLE: YOU HAVE
REPLACE AN OLD SENSOR BUT IT IS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY DURING YOUR RELEARN THE NEW SENSOR. THE OLD
SENSOR SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE SERVICE BAY AS IT MAYBE TRANSMITTING
7. DELTA PRESSURE-A RAPID CHANGE IN TIRE PRESSURE UP OR DOWN AS AN ALTERNATIVE METHOD TO LF WHICH
ACTIVATES THE SENSOR. REFER TO SERVICE MANUAL AS WELL AS TOOL ON SCREEN INSTRUCTIONS. COMMON ON
GM PRIOR TO 2009 AND MANY EUROPEAN SYSTEMS.
8. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE(DTC)-SIMILAR TO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BUT CODES ARE SPECIFIC TO TPMS
9. DIRECT SYSTEM-MOST COMMON DESIGN USED BY MAJORITY OE’S. 4 TO 6 TPM SENSORS WITH VALVES MOUNTED
INSIDE THE TIRE. VALVES MAYBE RUBBER OR METAL DESIGN AND IT IS IMPORTANT TO SERVICE THE REPLACEABLE
PARTS. BE CAREFUL SOME VEHICLE MAY USE DIRECT AND INDIRECT DEPENDING ON THE MODEL. YOUR TOOL
SCREEN WILL SHOW INDIRECT UNDER SERVICE ICON EVEN THOUGH NO PHYSICAL TPM SENSOR INSIDE THE TIRE.
10. HIGH LINE-THE VEHICLE DASH WILL DISPLAY TIRE PRESSURE BY WHEEL LOCATION. ALSO CALL ADVANCED SYSTEM.
MANY LUXURY VEHICLES SHOW PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE. SOME VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS OFF UPGRADE
ACCESSORY OPTIONS INCLUDING HIGH LINE. EXAMPLE: 2015/2016 TOYOTA CAMRY IS STANDARD WITH LO LINE
BUT OPTIONAL COLORED DASH DISPLAY WILL BE A HI LINE. SELECT CORRECT SYSTEM WHEN ORDERING
REPLACEMENT SENSOR PART NUMBER.
11. HYBRID SENSOR-A TYPE OF PROGRAMMABLE AFTERMARKET SENSORS. THE TECHNICIAN SELECTS MAKE/MODEL
AND YEAR AND TRIGGERS ACTIVATION WITH THE TPMS TOOL IN 1-3 SECONDS. EXAMPLE: HAMATON U-Pro
12. ID NUMBER-A SPECIFIC DECIMAL OR HEXADECIMAL NUMERIC NUMBER ASSIGNED TO EACH SENSOR. THIS ALLOWS
ECU TO SEE SPECIFIC TIRE LOCATION BY EACH SENSOR FOR RESETTING OR RELEARNING THE TPM SYSTEM. IN
MANY CASES PHYSICALLY PRINTED ON SENSOR BODY BUT NO EASY TO READ. YOUR TOOL WILL DISPLAY
THE SENSOR ID NUMBER.
13. INDIRECT SYSTEM-THIS DESIGN DOES NOT HAVE A PHYSICAL SENSOR W/VALVE INSIDE THE TIRE. INSTEAD IT
CALCULATES LOW PRESSURE FROM THE (ABS) ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM WHEEL SPEED SENSOR. RESET
INSTRUCTIONS ARE IN YOUR TOOL WHEN ADJUSTING AIR PRESSURE. HOWEVER, A FULL FUNCTION DIAGNOSTIC
SCAN TOOL WITH GRAPHING IS REQUIRED TO DIAGNOSE ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSORS.
14. LEARN MODE-THE VEHICLE’S RECEIVER AND ECU ARE ACTIVATED TO PICK UP THE WIRELESS SIGNAL BEING
TRANSMITTED FROM THE SENSOR INSIDE THE TIRE (DIRECT SYSTEM) YOUR TPMS TOOL WILL SHOW VARIOUS
INSTRUCTIONS SUCH AS USING A KEY FOB, CYCLING IGNITION SWITCH, PRESSING BRAKE PEDAL, ETC. DEPENDING
ON VEHICLE MAKE/MODEL AND YEAR. SPARE TIRE MAY HAVE A FUNCTIONING SENSOR AND CAN BE INCLUDED
IN LEARN MODE.
15. LOW LINE-SYSTEM DO NOT SHOW PRESSURE BY WHEEL LOCATION JUST A SYMBOL INDICATING LOW PRESSURE ON
ONE OF THE TIRES. LOW LINE SENSORS SHOULD NOT BE USED ON HIGH SYSTEMS. EXAMPLE: HYUNDIA GENESIS
COUPES ARE LO LINE BUT GENESIS SEDANS ARE HI LINE.
