FCAR Series Product Operation Manual Instruction
Chapter 1 Introduction
General Information
1.1
TPMS System Review
The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is a kind of electric systems and designed for the
use of monitoring the air pressure in the pneumatic tyres of various kinds of vehicle models.
TPMS reports the real-time tyre pressure information to the driver through the instrument,
pictogram display or simple low-pressure warning lamp. TPMS can be classified into two
different categories – direct (dTPMS) and indirect (iTPMS). TPMS is available in OEM (factory)
and aftermarket solutions
1.2
TPMS Legislation
In America, the U.S. Department of Transportation（NHTSA）released No. 138 FMVSS, which
requires to install the tire pressure monitoring system with the weight rating（GVWR）below
4,536 kg (10,000 lb) for all new cars, multipurpose passenger cars, trucks and general
vehicles except for two-wheeled vehicles until 2007. In the European Union, since November
1, 2012, all new passenger cars must be equipped with TPMS which has a more stringent
specification as defined by the UNECE Vehicle Rules (No. 64 regulations). Since November 1,
2014, all new passenger cars sold in the EU must be equipped with TPMS. On July 13, 2010,
South Korea's maritime bureau of the ministry of land and transportation announced part of
the amendment on the Korean motor vehicle safety standard (KMVSS), which stipulates that
"the TPMS should be installed in the passenger car and the vehicle GVW 3.5 tons or less, ...
[effective] cars that are produced after January 1, 2013 are considered as new models".
Japan is expected to legislate through the EU after the implementation in the EU about a
year or so. Other countries that have developed TPMS include Russia, Indonesia, the
Philippines, Israel, Malaysia and Turkey.
1.3
TPMS Indicator
You should learn the meaning of the TPMS indicator while diagnosing the TPMS system.
When the ignition switch is off, the TPMS indicator lights up and then goes off to indicate
that the system is working properly. If the indicator lights up, there will be pressure problems.
FCAR Series Product Operation Manual Instruction
If the indicator flashes, a system problem may occur, which may range from the fault sensor
to the vehicle sensor that has not yet learned the vehicle.
1.4
Advantages of TPMS
Important advantages of TPMS are concluded as below:
Fuel saving.
Extend the tire life.
Reduce the downtime and maintenance.
Improve the safety.
Environmental benefits.
Maintenance
2.1
Screen maintenance
1）The screen surface will absorb dust due to the static electricity, it is recommended to
purchase the wiping cloth dedicated for liquid crystal display screen to clean the
host screen, please gently wipe;
2）Do not use fingers to wipe the dust, so as not to leave any fingerprints; Do not use
chemical detergent to wipe the screen;
3）Please do not place the product next to the electrical equipment that produces
electromagnetic interference to avoid affecting the display;
4）Please do not expose the screen to direct sunlight or ultraviolet light for a long time
so as not to affect the screen life.
2.2
Precautions
1）Frequently switching on and off the host, sudden power off, unstable power,
artificially abnormal power are prohibited;
2) Please unplug the product if it’s not used to protect the electric components from
aging due to the long time power-on;
3) Do not expose the product to volatile acid and alkali chemical air environment, so as
not to cause corrosion of the host hardware;
4) Do not use dissolved chemical reagents such as banana oil, engine cleaning agent,
FCAR Series Product Operation Manual Instruction
gasoline, etc. to wipe the host;
5）No items can be placed on the display screen to avoid the touch screen rupture or
internal component damage caused by the great pressure.
Certification
FT-138 TPMS tester has CE, FCC and Rohs certification.
