Troubleshooting
Problem Potential Solution
The Tool does not power up
or turns off when the Initiate
button is pressed. Replace batteries.
No tire pressure sensor data
is received. Make sure the antenna is held within 22 inches of the tire pressure
sensor in position before the Initiate button is momentarily
selected. The Tool should be held in that position for at least 3.5
to 5 seconds.
If still unsuccessful, try to activate and receive tire pressure sensor
data from another tire pressure sensor. If the other sensor is
received successfully, you may need to replace the first sensor.
Setup menu button does not
work. Be sure to press and hold the button for at least 2 seconds.
The Tool does not receive a
sensor transmission after a
sensor has been activated. Make sure the Tool's antenna is held within 22 inches of the
sensor when activating a sensor.
This process may need to be repeated up to 3 times. If a sensor
continues to not respond, refer to the vehicle service manual for
further diagnostic or repair information.
Wrong sensor initiated (dual
tire only). When initiating a sensor in a dual tire configuration the ID codes
received are the same for both the inner and outer tires. The
antenna of the Tool should be moved within 22 inches of the target
tire pressure sensor (the antenna should be held against the outer
tire when activating the inner tire on a dual tire configuration).
LCD Backlight is off during
operation. If the Battery Indicator on the bottom left corner of the display is
showing that the battery level is low (the icon mostly empty), the
backlight will automatically turn off to conserve power. Replace
the batteries when convenient.
