5.1 Retrain System for All Tires
After sensor replacement, tire change, or tire rotation the system must
be retrained to display the correct tire locations, as follows:
Manual Tire Setup Steps -
• Press the Control Button to call up the
Manual Tire Setup
screen, and then press the Setup Button; the No. 1 tire indicator
starts blinking:
• Case 1: Sensors are yet not installed
¾ Install a sensor on the #1 tire valve stem and wait one minute,
or until the display picked up the signal – indicated by moving
the blinking icon to the next tire - then install sensor on the #2
tire stem.
¾ Repeat above until all sensor were installed and programmed;
the system will beep and exit the setup mode automatically.
• Case 2: Sensors were already installed

¾ Release 3 PSI or more of air from the No. 1 tire. This triggers
its sensor to send out a signal. Upon receiving the signal, the
system sets up this tire as the No. 1 tire location. The system
then moves on to the No. 2 tire.
¾ Repeat above step for the remaining tires (The setup order
must always be from tire No. 1 to No. 2, …, to the last tire).
After successfully retraining the last tire the system exits the
setup mode automatically.
¾ Refill tires to the proper air pressure.
¾ Pressing the Control Button will skip the current tire and move
the blinking icon to the next tire; skipping the last tire will cause
the system to exit the setup mode.
Automatic Tire Setup Steps –
• Sort Sensors in ascending order based on the last 5 digits of its
ID on the label.
• Case 1: Sensors are yet not installed
¾ Press the Control Button to call up the Automatic Tire Setup
screen, and then press the Setup Button; the No. 1 tire
indicator starts blinking.
¾ Put the sorted sensors on tire valve stems in accordance to
tire location mapping (i.e., sensor with smallest ID goes to tire
No. 1, ...); it is not necessary to wait in-between sensor
installations.
¾ The system will pickup all the sensor signals and assigned to
respective tires based on the sensor-tire mapping scheme
decribed below. System will exit the setup mode automatically
upon completion.
• Case 2: Sensors were already installed in sorted order
¾ Put the system in Auto-Setup mode
¾ Drive the vehicle - the system would pick up the signals and
will associate each sensor to a particular tire location
automatically, based on the ID-tire mapping scheme. The
system will exit the setup mode after completion.
Notes:
The sensor-tire association is based on the unique sensor ID: sensor
with a smaller ID value (of the last 5 digits; ID is printed on the
sensor label) will be assigned to the lowest numbered tire location
available. This feature is specifically developed for the external valve
stem mounted sensors, which can be readily installed to tires in
accordance to their respective ID number. The
Auto-Setup feature
enables the sensor installation and setup to be completed in a few
short minutes.
