item when the Freeze Frame data is available for viewing. Tap Clear DTC to erase codes. Figure 4-16 Sample DTC & FFD Screen Stored Codes Stored codes are the current emission-related DTCs from the ECM of the vehicle. OBD II/EOBD Codes have a priority according to their emission severity, with higher priority codes overwriting lower priority codes. The priority of the code determines the illumination of the MIL and the codes erase procedure.
Freeze Frame Typically, the stored frame is the last DTC that occurred. Certain DTCs that have a greater impact on vehicle emission, have a higher priority. In these cases, the top prioritized DTC is the one for which the freeze frame records are retained. Freeze frame data includes a “snapshot” of critical parameter values at the time the DTC is set.
Component Test This service enables bi-directional control of the ECM so that the diagnostic tool is able to transmit control commands to operate the vehicle systems. This function is useful in determining whether the ECM responds to a command well. Vehicle Information The option displays the vehicle identification number (VIN), the calibration identification, and the calibration verification number (CVN), and other information of the test vehicle.

Sensor Programming The Programming function allows users to program the sensor data to the MX-Sensor and replace faulty sensor with low battery life or the one that is not functioning. There are four options available when programming MX-Sensor: Copy by Activation, Copy by OBD, Copy by Input and Auto Create.
The sensor IDs retrieved from sensor activation and TPMS ECU will automatically appear on the left column of the table on the screen with the trigger and OBD marks before them. If the OBD function is not supported by the test vehicle and the sensor ID saved in the ECU cannot be retrieved, the Programming screen appears as below. Figure 6-17 Sample Programming Screen 2 In this example, the OBD function is not supported by the test vehicle and therefore the Copy by OBD function will not display.
Figure 6-18 Sample Copy by Activation Confirmation Screen A window will display for your confirmation. Tap OK to program, or tap Cancel to quit the operation.
Figure 6-20 Sample Copy by Activation Complete Screen When the programming is complete, the programmed ID will display in the column to the right of the wheel designation. In the pictured example, the new ID is displayed to the right of the FL column. By using Copy by Activation, the sensor ID that is retrieved from activated sensor is programmed to the new MX-Sensor.
Select one sensor position and place a MX-Sensor near the TPMS antenna of the tablet (the top right corner), and then tap Copy by OBD to program the new MX-Sensor. Figure 6-21 Sample Copy by OBD Screen When the programming is complete, the programmed ID will display in the column to the right of the wheel designation. In the pictured example, the new ID is displayed to the right of the FR column. By using Copy by OBD, the sensor ID that is retrieved from TPMS ECU is programmed to the new MX-Sensor.
Select one sensor position and place a MX-Sensor near the TPMS antenna of the tablet (the top right corner), and then tap Copy by Input to program the new MX-Sensor. Figure 6-22 Sample Copy by Input Screen Tap Copy by Input. When the input displays, enter the ID of the original sensor. Tap the inside of the input box to display a soft keyboard, once displayed, input the ID and tap Enter when finished. Sensor either have a hexadecimal format or a decimal format.
A random ID will be created for the MX-Sensor. This new ID differs from the ID stored in the TPMS ECU, therefore the sensor will have to be Relearned to the TPMS ECU. Figure 6-23 Sample Auto Create Screen TPMS Relearn This function is used to write the newly programmed sensor IDs into the vehicle ECU for sensor recognition. Relearn only needs to be performed when the newly programmed sensor IDs are different from the original sensor IDs that were stored within TPMS ECU. There are three ways for Relearn.
Figure 6-24 Sample Stationary Relearn Screen 1 Then follow the Relearn Procedure to perform Stationary Relearn. Figure 6-25 Sample Stationary Relearn Screen 2 Active Relearn For some vehicles, the Relearn function can be completed by driving. Refer to the on-screen Relearn Procedure for the exact details of the process.
Figure 6-26 Sample Active Relearn Screen 1 Figure 6-27 Sample Active Relearn Screen 2 OBD II Relearn OBD II Relearn The OBD II Relearn function allows the MK808TS tablet to directly write the TPMS sensor IDs to the TPMS module. NOTE Not all the vehicles support the OBD II Relearn. If the selected vehicle supports OBD II Relearn, the OBD II Relearn button will display on the bottom of the screen.
To perform the Relearn, activate all four sensors. Figure 6-28 Sample OBD II Relearn Screen 1 Figure 6-29 Sample OBD II Relearn Screen 2 OBD II Assisted Relearn The MK808TS tablet also provides OBD II Assisted Relearn functions. Since the MK808TS tablet wirelessly communicates with vehicles, it can be used to trigger wheel-mounted sensors while still being connected with the vehicle eliminating the need for a second tool. The sensor IDs are then relearned to the vehicle.
TPMS by OEM Part No. If the sensor’s OEM part number is known, this function is an efficient method to activate and program MX-Sensors. Application Scenarios The following are two typical scenarios in which this method is ideal. In the workshop If the mounted sensor is faulty and the part number is known to the technician, the technician can use this method to check the original sensor, and then write the information that was retrieved into a new MX-Sensor via Programming.
Figure 6-30 Sample OEM Part No. Screen 2. Or tap the search box on the top right side of the screen to enter the part number. A soft keyboard will display as below. Enter the OEM Part No. in the search box at the top right corner to complete the operation. Tap to change the keys to numbers, tap to change the keys to letters. Figure 6-31 Sample OEM Part No.
3. When a specific OEM part No. is selected, the screen will display as pictured below. 6-32 Sample OEM Part No. Service Menu NOTE Only sensor Check and Programming functions are available with the OEM Part No function. The Diagnosis and Relearn functions can only be accessed by selecting a vehicle on the TPMS service menu. Check The Check tab is the default selection on this menu. Tap Trigger on the bottom left of the screen to activate the original sensors and retrieve the sensor information.
Figure 6-33 Sample Check Screen via OEM Part No. Programming The programming function is used to program the sensor data to the MX-Sensor and replace the faulty sensor (poor battery life or malfunction). There are three options available when programming MX-Sensor using the OEM Part No. function: Copy by Activation, Copy by Input, and Auto Create. Refer to Sensor Programming on page 83 for details. Figure 6-34 Sample Programming Screen via OEM Part No.
The Product Serial Number (PSN) Code, which is printed on the MX-Sensor, acts as reference to identify the corresponding sensor ID. This can be especially useful when programming multiple MX-Sensors. Support Support will display the correct vehicle types for the selected OEM part number. To conduct additional procedures such as Diagnosis and Relearn, select the correct test vehicle model and then tap Enter Vehicle at the bottom left of the screen.
