End customer benefits
customer benefits of the system are:
Reduced fuel consumption
Reduced tire wear
Increased safety (reduce risk of tire explosions)
Reduced risk of unplanned stops
Provide a solution for future legislation
User profiles
The following user profiles are foreseen:
1. Driver:
The user receives different information from the system: actual tire pressure,
under pressure warning, ….
2. Standard service:
The user can update system configurations, for example:
- Warning thresholds
- Vehicle configurations
The standard service user profile is typically used in the fleet workshop.
3. Extended service:
- The user can read the diagnostic memory
- The reset of errors in the diagnostic memory is possible
- The Software of the ECU can be updated
This extended service user profile is typically used in the OEM workshop or in the
OEM production line.
4.4
System applications
The following applications of the system are foreseen.
4.4.1 Driving situation
During driving the system monitors the pressure and the temperature of the different
tires. The tire pressure values are shown on the display. If the tire pressure or wheel
temperature is out of normal range, a warning to the driver is initiated.
In these system applications also vehicle stop phases are included. Vehicle stop phases
are: short breaks, stops for loading/unloading the truck, breaks over a certain time
period (for example weekend).
Also the connection and disconnection of trailers has to be handled by the system. Two
modes are possible.
1. Auto connection: The system determines automatically the connection or
disconnection of a trailer.
2. Manual connection: The truck driver supports the system to detect a new
connected trailer(s) according to system instructions.

4.4.2 Configuration by the end customer
The configuration by the end customer may be necessary after an error condition, for
example a change of a defect system component, after a tire replacement or if a system
component has reached its operating lifetime.
If a tire(s) or a tire sensor(s) is/are changed the learning of the relative position of the
tire sensors in the vehicle is necessary. Two modes are possible:
1. Automatic positioning: The system determines automatically the position of
each tire, based on an algorithm which evaluates several sensor data.
2. Manual positioning: The end customer manually positions the tire sensors
according to system instructions.
If a central receiver on the truck or the optional display is changed or newly installed,
the system has also to be learned-in.
This configuration is usually done in a truck workshop.
4.4.3 Configuration during truck production
During the truck production the wheel sensors are assembled to truck wheels. After this
assembly, the system has to be learned-in the positions of the tire sensors. This has to
be done manually.
If a separate display in the cabin is used, the display must also be paired to the
corresponding central receiver on the truck.
4.4.4 Single tire change on road
If during driving a tire is damaged and has to be changed on the road, the system
automatically assigns the tire sensor to this new tire.
The change of a tire on the road is usually done by the driver or by a tire service
company.
4.4.5 Maintenance, service by the workshop
TPMS EWM is a non reparable module and no software update can be done.
Maintenance is also not feasible. Therefore, at module end of life, it shall be recycled by
the appropriated means.
4.4.6 Caution
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System is not a safety system. Data provided by TPMS system
should be consided as informations. TPMS system does not avoid to have a regular tyre
pressure maintenance.

TPMS Mounting Instructions
Note: The wheel nuts shall be applied with the tightening torque as specified in
TR 1579514 (Volvo standard)
The ‘valve module’ shall be assembled to the tire air valve by tightening the
swirling nut to the tire air valve hand tight. (Recommended tightening torque
approximately 0,3-0,5 Nm)
Note: There shall not be any air leakage present when correctly assembled. Air leakage will
be detected by the system.
Note: Avoid twisting the electrical cable more than 180°.
Note: The electrical cable must not be clamped or damaged during the
assembly of the WM.
The WMs will be delivered in “inactive mode” (=no RF transmission active) and
will require activation (switching from “inactive mode” to “active mode”) to
enable RF communication and successful calibration.
The WMs are activated when a pressure leap is detected, e.g. when getting
mechanically connected to a pressurized air valve.
As from the point when a WM is initially connected to a pressurized air valve
until it gets activated will require 16s. The WMs will stay activated as long as
they are pressurized, e.g. connected to an inflated tire. If the pressure is
removed, the WMs will switch back to “inactive mode” and that will stop the RF
transmission.

5.6
Calibration of WMs
Each WM will need to get paired to the TPM ECU and the position defined for
successful TPM installation. This is to be done by scanning the barcode of
each WM, linked with its position, to create a parameter. The parameter is
later written to the TPM ECU on the assembly line, which initiates the pairing
of the activated WMs to the TPM ECU automatically.
5.6.1 Creating the WM id parameter
Create the parameter by scanning the barcode of each mounted WM and
make sure that the WM identification number is linked with correct tire
position.
Note: The WM’s barcode contains information about WM variant (prefix)
and the unique WM identification number, e.g. S 1234567890
Prefix definition:
S: Single mounted tire (straight connector)
O: Dual mounted tire/Outer wheel (135° connector)
I: Dual mounted tire/Inner wheel (90° connector)
5.6.2 Writing WM id parameter and WM calibration
Prerequisites to initiate WM calibration:

All WMs must be activated and within RF range to the TPM ECU
Write the WM id parameter to the TPM ECU, by using the manufacturing
tools, and perform a reset of the TPM ECU.
Note: The writing of the parameter can be performed either by connecting
the TPM ECU to the interface of the tool used (direct download), or
connecting the OBD plug of the truck to the interface of the tool used.
Note: Parameter “P1LWM – TPMS Wheel module identification number” is to
be used for WM identification.

TPMS Mounting Instructions
The WM calibration/pairing will automatically start after the TPM ECU reset.
Keep the TPM ECU continuously power supplied for minimum of 3 minutes to
allow all WMs to get paired with the TPM ECU.
Note: The TPM ECU is power supplied in vehicle modes: Pre-running,
cracking and running.
Note: Make sure that the power supply to the TPM ECU is not shut off
during required time period for above pairing to not cause damages to the
non-volatile memory of the TPM ECU.
Note: DTC “U300054 – Electronic Control Unit-missing calibration” will be
set to inactive when the calibration is completed (all WMs have been paired
to the ECU).
5.7
End of line testing
Read out the chassis number from the TPMS ECU and check that it corresponds
to the vehicle chassis number.
Read DTCs from the TPM ECU. Active DTCs shall be remedied and inactive
DTCs shall be cleared.
