6. Using the Maintenance Hand Tool, go to the first tire to be programmed and proceed to
activate each of the trailer’s tire pressure sensors in the proper order. Starting on the left side
(road side) of the trailer at the forward axle, begin by activating the inner tire and proceed to
work counterclockwise from inner to the outer tire. Work in a U-shaped pattern around the
trailer ending with the right side (curb side) forward outer tire. If using wide-based single tires,
simply start at the forward left side tire and work in a U-Shaped pattern around the trailer
ending with the right side forward tire. Some examples are shown below:
7. To activate the tire pressure sensor, hold the SmarTire
®
system Maintenance Hand Tool’s
antenna against the tire’s upper sidewall in-line with the valve stem. Press the Learn
button to learn the ID code of the sensor. In most cases, the Maintenance Hand Tool is able
to receive signals from the inner tire on the dual tire configuration as well. To program the
inner tire, hold the Tool in line with the circumferential position of the valve stem of the inner
wheel, as indicated below:
If the sensor is not programmed from this position, you many also place the Tool between
the dual tire assemblies and activate the sensor by placing the antenna near the tire
sidewall, in-line with the inner valve stem. Pressing the
button will abort the Walk-
Around Learn procedure.
8. Once the Tool has learned the tire pressure sensor ID for the given position, it briefly displays
the received ID code and automatically switches to the next tire position.
Press the Learn
button to initiate the next tire sensor. Repeat until all the tires have
been learned into the Tool. At this point you may also press the Up
and
Down
arrow
buttons to select and view any previously learned wheel positions. If needed, you may
also re-program a tire position by simply selecting a previously learned position and
pressing the Learn
button. Any previously learned sensor ID codes will be replaced by
the new ID code for that position.
