Low Sensor Battery Alert
A Low Sensor Battery Alert will be displayed for a given sensor when
it is near the end of its battery life. Typically, a low sensor battery
alert will be triggered when the battery reaches 2.1 Volts and below.
The sensor should be replaced as soon as possible to avoid a
continuous sensor Diagnostic Trouble Code from being issued by
the same tire location.
No Tires Programmed Alert
The “No Tires Programmed” message will be displayed after the
startup sequence if the Gateway receiver unit has not been
programmed with any axle and wheel configurations. The Gauge’s
Profile Definition mode or the SmarTire
™
Diagnostics software can
be used to program new axle and tire combinations into the receiver.
A SmarTire
™
LF Hand tool is also required for this step.
5.4 REACTING TO AUDIBLE AND VISUAL ALERTS
It is important to always react to the audible and visual alerts provided by the SmarTire
™
TPMS
system. When an alert is triggered, immediately bring the vehicle to a stop in a safe location in
order to asses the nature of the problem. Tire conditions should always be corrected before the
vehicle is driven.

When a SmarTire

tire alert is triggered, the indicator light will illuminate, an audible alarm will
sound (optional), and an icon will appear on the TPMS Ready screen. To access the alert, press
the left button once. For both pressure alerts, the affected tire and axle will be indicated along
with a number indicating the amount of pressure the tire has lost. The same will be shown for the
high temperature alert except the number will indicate the temperature of the affected tire. Below
are images that show on the screen for each alert.
