Wear safety eye protection that meets ANSI standards. 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. 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 scan tool dry, clean, free from oil/water or grease. Use a mild detergent on a clean cloth to clean the outside of the scan tool, when necessary. 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 display and then go off, indicating the system is working fine. If the light stays on, the tire pressure may be too low or too high. If the TPMS light flashes, an error exist within the system. Such an error can be caused by a faulty sensors or by the IDs of the sensors installed on the tires not matching the registered IDs within the vehicle ECU. 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 Tool Information 3.1 Tool Description Figure 3.1 1) PROTECTIVE BOOT -- Protects the TPMS tool from damage caused by a fall or by abrasions. 2) LCD DISPLAY -- Indicates test results. 1.77 inch LCD display with 128*160 resolution. 3) UP ARROW BUTTON -- Moves up through menu and submenu items in menu mode.
