Safety Information To prevent personal injury or damage to vehicles and/or the scan tool, read this instruction manual first and observe the following safety precautions at a minimum whenever working on a vehicle: Always perform diagnosis or service in a safe environment. Wear safety eye protection that meets ANSI standards. Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, etc. away from all moving or hot engine parts. Operate the vehicle in a well ventilated work area: Exhaust gases are poisonous. Put blocks in front of the drive wheels and never leave the vehicle unattended while running tests. Use extreme caution when working around the ignition coil, distributor cap, ignition wires and spark plugs. These components create hazardous voltages when the engine is running. Keep a fire extinguisher suitable for gasoline/chemical/electrical fires nearby. Put the transmission in PARK (for automatic transmission) or NEUTRAL (for manual transmission) and make sure the parking brake is engaged. Always turn the ignition off before connecting/disconnecting the OBDII Cable to/from the TPMS tool; otherwise it may cause the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) to turn on. Refer to the user’s manual for the vehicle being serviced and adhere to all diagnostic procedures and precautions. Otherwise personal injury or unneeded repairs may result. Keep the TPMS tool dry, clean, free from oil, water and grease. Use a mild detergent on a clean cloth to clean the outside of the TPMS tool when necessary. 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). TPMS are provided both at an OEM (factory) level as well as an aftermarket solution. 2.2 TPMS Legislation In the United States, the United States Department of Transportation (NHTSA) released the FMVSS No. 138, which requires an installation of a Tire Pressure Monitoring System to all new passenger cars, multipurpose passenger vehicles, trucks, and buses that have a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 4,536 kg (10,000 lbs.) or less, except those vehicles with dual wheels on an axle, as of 2007. In the European Union, starting November 1, 2012, all new models of passenger cars must be equipped with a TPMS, with even tighter specifications that will be defined by the UNECE Vehicle Regulations (Regulation No. 64). From November 1, 2014, all new passenger cars sold in the European Union must be equipped with TPMS. On July 13, 2010, the South Korean Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs announced a pending partial-revision to the Korea Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (KMVSS), specifying that "TPMS shall be installed to passenger vehicles and vehicles of GVW 3.5 tons or less, ... [effective] on January 1, 2013 for new models and on June 30, 2014 for existing models". Japan is expected to adopt European Union legislation approximately one year after European Union implementation. Further countries to make TPMS mandatory include Russia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Israel, Malaysia and Turkey. 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. 2.4 Benefits of TPMS The significant advantages of TPMS are summarized as follows: Fuel saving. Extended tire life. Decreased downtime and maintenance. Improved safety. Environmental efficiency. 3.

But when your key fob stops working or starts to perform sporadically, it will be particularly frustrating. Check your key fob to make sure it is in top condition so it will work when you really need it. Since a key fob is attuned to a special frequency that is only detected by the car for which it was issued, you will need to use your vehicle to test the fob. Otherwise you will have to take it to a dealership or an automotive locksmith to have it tested for the right frequency. But with our TPMS tool, the key fob testing becomes easy and convenient. 1) Use the UP/DOWN scroll button and LEFT/RIGHT scroll button to select RKE & RF Monitor from Main Menu (Figure 3.1), and press the Y button to confirm. 2) Hold the key fob very close to the tool and press the function buttons on key fob to test. If the button works and the key fob is sending a signal, the tool will beep and the screen shows as below. If the button does not work, the tool will do nothing. To make sure each button is working properly, please test each button in turn. Figure 5.1 The progress bar indicates the approximate power level of 36 the key fob. 3) The stronger the signal, the higher the beep tone. The tool only tests 315MHz and 433MHz key fobs. Press the N button to return to previous menu. 37 6.
