Figure 5-21 Sample Copy by OBD Screen When the programming is complete, the programmed ID will display in the column to the right of the wheel designation. In the pictured example, the new ID is displayed to the right of the FR column. By using Copy by OBD, the sensor ID that is retrieved from TPMS ECU is programmed to the new MX-Sensor. There is no need to perform the Relearn function to write the ID into the ECU when the new programmed sensor has been put in the same position.
Figure 5-22 Sample Copy by Input Screen Tap Copy by Input. When the input box displays, enter the ID of the original sensor. Tap inside the input box to display a soft keyboard. Once displayed, input the ID and tap Enter when finished. Sensors either have a hexadecimal format or a decimal format. A warning message will display if too many characters are entered.
Figure 5-23 Sample Auto Create Screen TPMS Relearn This function is used to write sensor IDs into the vehicle ECU for sensor recognition. Relearn is needed to be performed when the new sensor IDs are different from the original sensor IDs stored within TPMS ECU. There are THREE ways for Relearn. Stationary Relearn Automatic Relearn OBD Relearn Stationary Relearn Stationary Relearn requires the vehicle be placed in the “Learn Mode”. Tap Relearn to access the relearn menu.
Figure 5-24 Sample Stationary Relearn Screen 1 Then follow the Relearn Procedure to perform Stationary Relearn. Figure 5-25 Sample Stationary Relearn Screen 2 Automatic Relearn For some vehicles, the Relearn function can be completed by driving. Refer to the on-screen Relearn Procedure for the exact details of the process.
Figure 5-26 Sample Automatic Relearn Screen 1 Figure 5-27 Sample Automatic Relearn Screen 2 OBD II Relearn OBD II Relearn The OBD II Relearn function allows the MP808TS tablet to directly write the TPMS sensor IDs to the TPMS module. NOTE Not all the vehicles support the OBD II Relearn. If the selected vehicle supports OBD II Relearn, the OBD II Relearn button will display on the bottom of the screen.
To perform the Relearn, activate all four sensors. Figure 5-28 Sample OBD II Relearn Screen 1 Figure 5-29 Sample OBD II Relearn Screen 2 OBD II-Assisted Relearn The MP808TS also can perform an OBD II-Assisted Relearn. Some vehicles relearn procedure require that a tool be connected to the vehicle while another tool be used to trigger the sensor at the wheel.
After performing the Relearn procedure, tap Clear DTCs to clear the trouble codes present in the TPMS ECU. TPMS by OEM Part No. If the sensor's OEM part number is known, this function is an efficient method to activate and program MX-Sensors.
