1.
The tool is set up correctly for make model and year but the tool does not work on the
sensor?
Answer: hold the tool in the proper position, TPM is actually faulty or vehicle has
incorrect TPM installed.
2.
I have a faulty sensor and the dealership gave me a new one but it will not program to
the car.
Answer: The dealership probably gave the wrong sensor. Many vehicles of the
same model might have 2 or 3 possible sensor variations to accommodate high and low
pressure ranges, frequency, etc.
3.
I just rotated the vehicle’s wheels. Do I need to re-learn the sensors to the vehicle?
Answer: Yes if the car is position dependent.
4.
The tool won’t turn on.
Answer: Make sure battery is fully charged. Charge tool for 2+
Hours and retry power on.
5.
Everything has been selected on the tool correctly but a P with the down arrow shows
up and when I press test the TPM does not initiate.
Answer: The P with down arrow
means this is a DELTA P sensor. This means the tire pressure has to be let out before the
sensor will transmit.
