 TPMS Low Frequency (LF) Tool User Manual

1. INTRODUCTION

The SmarTire

®

 Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) 

by Bendix CVS consists of sensors (mounted using steel 
bands onto the rim of the wheels), an antenna, receiver/
Electronic Control Unit (ECU), and dash display unit or  
OEM integrated display.

A Sensor is Installed 

Inside Each Tire

Each tire sensor has a unique ID code and it is 
important that the system knows the ID of the sensor 
used at each tire location on the vehicle.

The SmarTire

 

Low Frequency (LF) tool is a hand-held 

device used to communicate with SmarTire-brand tire 
pressure monitoring system sensors.  

This document will describe how the tool can be used 
to program one or more new sensor ID codes into the 
receiver (for example, when replacing a sensor or after 
repairs/tire rotation, etc.); and how to check that all IDs 
are in the expected locations when conducting a vehicle 
inspection.  (See BW2799 for information about other 

procedures, such as loading a system configuration.)

NOTE: The SmarTire LF tool is compatible ONLY with 
SmarTire–brand commercial vehicle tire sensors. 

NOTE: For dual-wheel assemblies, it is strongly 
recommended that the tire valve stems – where sensors 
are typically located – be arranged 180° from each other 
to avoid errors when communicating with the sensors.
