1. Activate Sensor
This function allows users to activate TPMS
sensor to view sensor data such as sensor
ID, tire pressure, tire frequency, tire
temperature and battery condition.

* Note : The tool will do TPMS test in a sequence

of FL (Front Left), FR (Front Right), RR (Rear
Right), LR (Rear Left) and SPARE, if the vehicle
has the option for the spare. Or, you can use the
/ button to move to the desired wheel for
testing.
For universal sensors, place the i-TPMS
alongside the valve stem, point toward the
sensor location, and press the OK button.
Once the sensor is successfully activated
and decoded, i-TPMS will vibrate slightly
and the screen will display the sensor data.

*Notes:
For early magnet-activated sensors, place the
magnet over the stem and then place the i-
TPMS alongside the valve stem.
If the TPMS sensor requires tire deflation (of
the order of 10PSI), then deflate the tire and
place the i-TPMS alongside the stem while
pressing the OK button.

 TPMS Operations

2. Program Sensor
This function allows users to program the
sensor data to the specific brand sensor and
replace faulty sensor with low battery life or
one that is not functioning.
There are four options available for
programming the sensor: Auto Create,
Manual Create, Copy by Activation and Copy
by OBD.
*Note: Do not place the device close to several
sensors at the same time, which may result in
programming failure.

Method 1- Auto Create

This function is designed to program the
specific brand sensor by applying random
IDs created according to the test vehicle
when it is unable to obtain the original
sensor ID.
1.Select the wheel which needs to be
programmed on the screen, insert a
sensor into the sensor slot of the i-TPMS,
and tap Auto to create a new random
sensor ID.
Programme

Currently created ID:0x1234567A

Back Program

2.Tap Program to write in the new created

sensor ID to the sensor.
*Note: If Auto is selected, the TPMS Relearn
operation needs to be performed after
programming all required sensor.

Method 2 - Manual Create

This function allows users to manually enter
sensor ID. Users can enter the random ID or
the original sensor ID, if it is available.

11
 TPMS Operations

1.Select the wheel to be programmed on

the screen, insert a sensor into the
sensor slot of the i-TPMS, and tap
Manual.
2.Use the on-screen virtual keypad to input
a random or original (if available) sensor
ID and tap OK.
*Note: Do not enter the same ID for each
sensor.
3. Follow the on-screen prompts to write in
the sensor ID to the sensor.
*Notes:
If a random ID is entered, please perform the
TPMS Relearn function after programming
is finished. If the original ID is entered, there
is no need to perform Relearn function.
If a vehicle does not support Learn function,
please select Manual to enter the original
sensor ID manually, or trigger the original
sensor at the activation screen to get its
information, before programming the sensor.

Method 3 - Copy By Activation

This function allows users to write in the
retrieved original sensor data to the specific
brand sensor. It is used after the original
sensor is triggered.

1.From the activation screen, select the

specific wheel position and trigger the
original sensor. After the information is
retrieved, it will be displayed on the
screen.
2. Insert a sensor into the sensor slot of the
i-TPMS, and tap Copy by activation.
3.Tap Program to write in the copied sensor
data to the sensor.

*Note: Once programmed with Copy, the sensor

can be installed in the wheel directly to be
mounted on the vehicle and the TPMS warning
light will turn off.

Method 4 - Copy By OBD

This function allows users to write in the
saved sensor information to the LAUNCH
sensor after performing Read ECU ID. This
function requires a connection with the
vehicle’s DLC port.

12
 TPMS Operations

1.Connect the tool to the vehicle’s DLC

port, tap Read ECU ID to start reading the
sensor Ids and positions for viewing.
2. Insert a new sensor into the sensor slot
of the i-TPMS, select the desired wheel
position and tap Copy by OBD.
3.Tap Program to write in the copied sensor
data to the sensor.

3. Relearning (Only available on

diagnostic tool)
This function is used to write the newly
programmed sensor IDs into the vehicle’s
ECU for sensor recognition.
Relearn operation applies only when the
newly programmed sensor IDs are different
from the original sensor IDs stored in the
vehicle’s ECU.
There are three ways available for
Relearn: Static Learning, Self-Learning and
Relearn by OBD.

Method 1 - Static Learning

Static learning requires the vehicle to be put
into learning / retraining mode, and then
follow the on-screen prompts to complete it.

Method 2 - Self-Learning
For some vehicles, the learning function can
be completed by driving. Refer to the on-
screen learning steps to do the operation.

Method 3 - Relearn by OBD

This function allows the diagnostic tool to
write the sensor IDs to the TPMS module.
To perform relearn by OBD, firstly activate
all sensors, and then use the diagnostic tool
together with the included VCI to complete
the learning steps following the on-screen
instructions.

 Troubleshooting

Below lists some frequently asked

questions of the i-TPMS.

Q: Why does my i-TPMS always stay on

welcome screen?
A: If the device keeps displaying the
welcome screen, it indicates that it is not
in TPMS function mode. If the diagnostic
tool is performing the TPMS function, the
device will switch to the corresponding
function mode.

Q: Can I set the system language of my i-

TPMS ?
A: It varies with the system language of the
diagnostic tool/smartphone that connects
it. Currently only English and simplified
Chinese are available on the device .
If the device detects the system language
of the diagnostic tool/smartphone is non-
Chinese, it will change into English
automatically no matter which language
the diagnostic tool/smartphone is set as.

Q: My i-TPMS does not respond.

A: In this case, please carefully check the
following:
Ÿ Whether the device is successfully
connected to the diagnostic
tool/smartphone wirelessly.
Ÿ Whether the device is powered on.
Ÿ Whether the device is damaged or
defective.

Q: Why does my i-TPMS automatically

power off?
A: Please check the following:
Ÿ Whether the device is fully discharged.
Ÿ If the device is not being charged and
there is no operation on the device for
30 minutes, it will automatically power
off to conserve battery power.

14
 Troubleshooting

Q: My i-TPMS can not trigger sensor.

A: Please check the following:
Ÿ Whether the device is damaged or
defective.
Ÿ Whether the sensor, module or ECU
itself may be damaged or defective.
Ÿ 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.
Ÿ You device may require a firmware
upgrade.

Q: What to do if my i-TPMS encountered

some unexpected bugs?
A: In this case, a firmware upgrade is
required. On the TPMS version selection
screen, tap Firmware Update to upgrade
it.
