5.6.7 Learning Sensors into the Wireless Gateway Receiver
In order for the display to show information specific to a given tire location, the Wireless Gateway
Receiver is programmed with a sensor ID number for each sensor on the vehicle and each
number is associated with a specific wheel position. Every sensor has a unique ID number
specific to it so that when fully programmed, the SmarTire
™
system will recognize only sensors
associated with the vehicle and will know the specific wheel positions for each sensor.
If a wheel is moved to a different location on the vehicle or a sensor is broken and needs to be
replaced, the Wireless Gateway Receiver must be reprogrammed. Otherwise, when a tire alert is
generated, the display will not show the correct wheel position for the affected tire. When
programming a single sensor ID number into the Wireless Gateway Receiver, use the “Learn”
function as described below. When programming more than one sensor ID number or performing
a tire rotation, use the “Walk-Around Learn” function in the SmarTire
™ Maintenance Tool (see
Maintenance Tool manual) and/or SmarTire
™
Diagnostics Tool.
Exercise caution when proceeding with the following
steps! Loss of power to the SmarTire
™
TPMS during
Learn Sensor operations will cause sensor location to be
deleted. Do not proceed without the use of SmarTire
™
LF
Tool or SmarTire
™
Maintenance Tool!
1. Enter the Setup Mode using the steps outlined in section 5.6.
2. When in Setup Mode, scroll to the “Learn Sensors” menu item. Press the
right button to select the Learn Sensor function.
3. The first axle on the vehicle and “Select Tire To Learn” will then be
displayed. Press the right button to scroll to the next tire on the axle and
the left button to move to the next axle on the vehicle.
4. When the desired wheel position is highlighted, press and hold the center
button for two seconds to delete the ID stored for that tire. The screen will
then show “Deleting Tire” and the selected wheel position will flash.
5. When the ID for the selected tire has been deleted, the screen will show
“Learn in Progress”. The sensor inside the tire for the wheel position to be
programmed must now be provoked to transmit its ID. This can be done
using the SmarTire
™
Maintenance Hand Tool, SmarTire
™
LF Tool, or LF
Initiator.
A. If using an LF Initiator Tool (obsolete):
 Turn the LF Initiator ‘ON’ (push switch upward)
 Hold the LF Initiator pointed towards the tire’s sidewall adjacent to sensor’s
location approximately 2" away from the tire’s surface. The sensor should be
located at the valve stem with a rim label indicating its location. Do not touch the
side of the tire or the edge of the rim.
 Press “Learn” button once & hold LF Initiator tool in position for 5 seconds (until -
diagnostic light turns off). Do not hold down the “Learn” button.
