Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Service
This function allows you to quickly look up the tire sensor IDs from the vehicle
’s
ECU, as well as to perform TPMS replacement and reset procedures after tire
sensors are replaced.
Battery Management System (BMS) Service
The Battery Management System (BMS) allows the tool to evaluate the battery
charge state, monitor the close-circuit current, register the battery replacement,
activate the rest state of the vehicle and charge the battery via the diagnostic
socket.
NOTE
This function is not supported by all vehicles.
The sub functions and actual test screens of the BMS may vary by vehicle,
please follow the on-screen instructions to make correct option selection.
The vehicle may use either a sealed lead-acid battery or an AGM (Absorbed
Glass Mat) battery. Lead acid battery contains liquid sulphuric acid and can
spill when overturned. AGM battery (known as VRLA battery, valve regulated
lead acid) also contains sulphuric acid, but the acid is contained in glass mats
between terminal plates.
It is recommended that the replacement aftermarket battery has the same
specifications, such as capacity and type, as the exiting battery. If the original
battery is replaced with a different type of battery (e.g. a lead-acid battery is
replaced with an AGM battery) or a battery with a different capacity (mAh), the
vehicle may require reprogramming of the new battery type, in addition to,
performing the battery reset. Consult the vehicle manual for additional vehicle-
specific information.
Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) Service
Steering Angle Sensor Calibration permanently stores the current steering
wheel position as the straight-ahead position in the steering angle sensor
EEPROM. Therefore, the front wheels and the steering wheel must be set
exactly to the straight-ahead position before calibration. In addition, the vehicle
identification number (VIN) is also read from the instrument cluster and stored
permanently in the steering angle sensor EEPROM. On successful completion
of calibration, the steering angle sensor fault memory is automatically cleared.
Calibration must always be carried out after the following operations:
