4 TPMS Check & Diagnostics

The MaxiTPMS

TS508 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 OBD II 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.

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:

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.

press the Y button to confirm.

2. From the vehicle make screen, select a specific vehicle brand and press the Y

button (Take Chrysler as an example).
