STEP 2: SENSOR ACTIVATION/ TEST
Tool Positioning
Do NOT touch the metal rim. The tool needs to be pointed at the sensor through the tire.
1. LF activated sensors
To test a sensor the tool should be placed alongside the valve stem and the ‘Test’ symbol needs to
be pressed.
(Note: with Ford Banded sensors, the tool should be held 180°away from the stem.)
2. Non-LF activated sensors (some Beru sensors up to 2009)
If the tool requires rapid tyre deflation (of the order of 10psi or 0.5bar), deflate the tyre and place
the tool alongside the stem while pressing the test key.
During testing, the screen displays the transmission frequency strength in the bottom left corner and
the receiving frequency strength in the bottom right corner of the screen. A progress bar is shown in
the middle of the screen.
Different makes of TPM sensors respond at different speeds / time intervals.
[SCREENSHOT]
Connect the OBD Module to the Vehicles OBD II port and connect the tool to the module. In case of
any problems the troubleshoot menu will help you to obtain a connection.
