The MaxiTPMS
®
TS501 is a new generation TPMS diagnostic &
service tool specially designed to activate all known OEM/Universal
TPMS sensors, and provide users with direct access to the vehicle’s
ECU through OBDII connection, thus allowing users to reprogram
sensor IDs and retrieve/clear TPMS DTCs, helping technicians to
quickly find out faulty TPMS and turn off MILs.
NOTE: All software screens shown in this manual are
examples, actual test screens may vary for each vehicle being
tested. Observe the menu titles and onscreen instructions to
make correct option selections.
4.1 TPMS Sensor Check
The sensor check function allows activating of TPMS sensor to view
sensor data such as sensor ID, tire pressure, tire temperature, sensor
battery, sensor position, frequency. It also sends the sensor data to
vehicle’s ECU to let the ECU learn the positions of sensors whenever
wheels are rotated or sensors are replaced.
There are two means to check TPMS sensors:
A. Select by Vehicle
Users can start activating sensors directly by selecting the specific
vehicle make, model and year. The graphed vehicle with 4 or 5
wheels makes the sensor activation process more simple and
convenient.
1) Use the UP/DOWN scroll button and LEFT/RIGHT scroll
button to select TPMS from Main Menu (Figure 3.1), and press
the Y button to confirm.
2) Select a specific vehicle manufacture’s regional coverage. (Taking
Chrysler as an example)
