1. Using the Manual This manual contains device usage instructions. Some illustrations shown in this manual may contain modules and optional equipment that are not included on your system. Contact your sales representative for availability of other modules and optional tools or accessories. 1.1 Conventions The following conventions are used. Bold Text Bold emphasis is used to highlight selectable items such as buttons and menu options. Example: Tap OK.
Illustrations Illustrations used in this manual are samples, the actual testing screen may vary for each vehicle being tested. Observe the menu titles and on-screen instructions to make correct option selection.
2. General Information 2.1 TPMS system review A tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is an electronic system designed to monitor the air pressure inside the pneumatic tires on various types of vehicles. TPMS report real-time tire-pressure information to the driver of the vehicle, either via a gauge, a pictogram display, or a simple low-pressure warning light. TPMS can be divided into two different types — direct (dTPMS) and indirect (iTPMS).
2.3 TPMS Tell-tale Light When diagnosing TPMS systems, you should understand what the TPMS tell-tale light means. When turning the ignition OFF to ON, the TPMS tell-tale should come on, and then go off, which indicates the system is working fine. If the light stays on, there would be a pressure problem. If the light flashes, there would be a system problem, which can range from faulty sensors to sensors on the vehicle that haven’t been learned to that vehicle. 2.
