What to Do If OmiDetect Cannot Activate
the TPM Sensor
If OmiDetect is unable to activate a TPM sensor, you can use either of the
two following techniques to manually activate it to allow you to test it for
proper operation.
Technique A
1.
Depress the tire’s valve stem to release air pressure for about
5 to 8 seconds. The TPM sensor will detect the loss of tire
pressure, causing it to transmit a signal to the vehicle’s TPM
control module.
2.
Power On the OmiDetect tester (if necessary, repeatedly
press the power On/Off button until the first LED is
illuminated). Then press the
button to put OmiDetect in the
“listening” mode for manual testing. The LED will begin to
flash, indicating OmiDetect is listening for an RF transmission
signal from the TPM sensor.
If OmiDetect detects a valid signal, it will beep 3 times and
illuminate the appropriate signal frequency LED for 5
seconds.
Technique B
1.
Using a tire/wheel balancer, spin the tire/wheel at the speed
required to cause the TPM sensor to start transmitting tire
pressure measurement signals to the vehicle’s TPM control
module.
Note: Recall that all TPM systems automatically start
transmitting pressure measurement and sensor ID data every
few seconds when the tire is rotating above a certain speed,
typically about 20 mph.
2.
Power On the OmiDetect tester (if necessary repeatedly
press the Power On/Off Button until the first LED is
illuminated). Then press the
button to put OmiDetect in the
“listening” mode for manual testing. The LED will begin to
flash, indicating OmiDetect is listening for an RF transmission
signal from the TPM sensor.
