7. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
7.1. TPMS TOOL OVERVIEW
Features: Read and diagnose sensors, OBDII ECU reset and transfer data to ECU.
Note: With some vehicles, if the vehicle is in “learn mode” the vehicle will also confirm that the TPM
sensor has communicated to the ECM with a series of horn beeps.
Service Procedure
Section 1.0: Read Sensor Test
Before servicing the tires/wheels, using your TPMS TOOL, trigger each of the
vehicle's sensors to make sure they are working properly.
This will eliminate the liability associated with replacing previously damaged or defective sensors. This
procedure will not change the vehicle settings because the vehicle has yet to be put into learn mode.
This procedure allows you to quickly identify damaged or defective sensors, because some vehicles
do not report a damaged or defective sensor condition on the instrument cluster for up to 20 minutes.
Note: If the sensors do not trigger, please refer to the Troubleshooting section of this Guide.
Perform tire/wheel service.
For vehicles that require learning, please see to Section 2.0
Section 2.0: Learning TPM System
With the vehicle in learn mode, begin by triggering the driver's front left (LF) wheel
sensor. Some vehicles will provide an audible chirp confirming that the sensor ID
has been learned by the vehicle on board computer.
The communication between the sensor and the on board computer is also
confirmed on LCD display of the TOOL.
1 Start FL
FR 2
4 End RL
RR 3
The same procedure should be followed on all wheel sensors, in a
clockwise rotation, until all the vehicle sensors have been learned.
After triggering the driver's rear wheel sensor, some vehicles will chirp twice
indicating that the TPM system has been learned.
Fig. 1
For vehicles that do not require learning, we recommend you trigger each wheel sensor, one final time, to
make sure they are working correctly prior to releasing the vehicle to the customer.

If the TPMS TOOL is unable to trigger one or more of the sensors, using either electronic or
magnetic activation, please use the following troubleshooting guide:
1) The vehicle does not have a sensor even though a metal valve stem is present. Be aware
of Schrader rubber style snap-in stems used on TPMS systems.
2) The sensor, module or ECU itself may be damaged or defective.
3) The sensor may be the type that periodically triggers on its own and is not designed to
respond to a triggering frequency.
4) Your TPMS TOOL may require a software upgrade.
5) Check “Auto Off” time settings for screen display.
6) Your TPMS TOOL is damaged or defective.

be over the minimum charge of 30%.
If you don't follow these safety precautions, you may
cause serious personal injury and damage to
property; you may even cause a fire!
The BOSCH Company disclaims any responsibility
for damage sustained in case of non compliance
with these safety instructions.
Using a Lithium Polymer battery has a high risk of
fires and can cause serious damages to property
and persons, the user agrees to accept the risk and
responsibility.
The BOSCH Company couldn't control the proper
use of the battery for each customer (charge,
discharge, storage etc.); it can not be held
responsible for damage to persons and property.
