If OmiDetect detects a valid signal, it will beep 3 times
and illuminate the appropriate signal frequency LED for
5 seconds.
6. Reprogramming the TPM Control Module
With most current generation TPM systems you will need to
reprogram, or reset, the vehicle’s TPM control module any time:
You rotate a vehicle’s tires
You replace one or more TPM sensors, you must “reset”
(reprogram) the TPM system’s control module by placing it
in the “learn” mode and activating each sensor so the
control module can identify the new sensor locations.
The vehicle’s battery or the control module is
disconnected or the voltage to the TPM system drops
below a certain value, causing the control module to loose
all its sensor ID information. (This will set a DTC for a
TPM fault. In addition to reprogramming the control
module, you also will need to clear the DTC.)
IMPORTANT: If you do not reprogram the control module, it will
continue to report the correct tire pressures, but will assign
them to the wrong wheel locations.
To reprogram the TPM control module:
1.
Place the vehicle’s TPM control module in the “learn”
mode. (The procedure required varies with vehicle
makes and models. Refer to the Omitec TPM System
Quick Reference Guide provided with your OmiDetect
system for the procedure required for the vehicle you
are servicing.)
2.
Activate each TPM sensor (see Section 5), following the
vehicle manufacturer’s requirements for the order in
which the sensors are to be activated. With most vehicle
makes/models you will be required to start with the front
left wheel, followed by the right front, right rear, left rear,
and spare tire, working clockwise around the vehicle.
Typically, the vehicle will sound a series of two or more
horn beeps to confirm its TPM control module was able
to communicate with the TPM sensor and identify the
sensor’s location.
