Safety Signal Words SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS All safety messages contain a safety signal word that indicates the level of the hazard. An icon, when present, gives a graphical description of the hazard. Safety Signal words are: DANGER Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury to the operator or to bystanders.
Safety Precautions WARNING • Use of diagnostic equipment can cause electrical shock, fire and explosion. Use caution and proper procedures when connecting and disconnecting leads. Diagnostic equipment must be located 18” or more above floor level. Avoid sparks and other sources of ignition. Electrical shock, flames and explosion can cause serious injury. • Improper use can cause hazardous conditions. Unexpected electrical, thermal or mechanical occurrences can cause injury.

NON-CONDENSING IP54: Dust-Protected and protected against splashing water. Do not position the equipment so that it is difficult to operate the disconnecting device. Cleaning Clean with a soft dry cloth, or if necessary, a soft damp cloth with clean water.
Chapter 1: Introduction TPMS diagnostic tool that tests pressure monitoring sensors, captures sensor data, and relearns tire pressure monitoring systems. Also programs aftermarket sensors and various other TPMS functions.
Chapter 2: Tool Operation and Navigation When testing sensors, position the TPMS5 antenna on the sidewall of the tire near the valve. Press the Trigger button to trigger the sensor. For certain applications, the OBDII Cable is needed to perform vehicle relearns, placard adjustments, and more. For these applications, Plug the OBDII cable into the tool, and the other end into the vehicle. The TPMS5 will display OBDII vehicle port locations for easy identification.
A - Main Menu The Main Menu is a hub to the various features and functions available on the TPMS5. From this screen you will find the main TPMS Function, Special Functions, Update/Registration, Settings, History, and Training.
B - TPMS The main function of the TPMS5 is to trigger sensors, perform TPMS relearns, replace sensors, and more. This section will cover all the functionalities of “TPMS”. 1. Trigger Sensor Trigger Sensor is selected by default upon entering the TPMS function. From here, using the Trigger button on top of the tool or by tapping the trigger icon on the display (located on the vehicle icon), the tool will trigger TPMS sensors and display all TPMS info.
2. Rotate The Rotate function is used whenever performing a tire rotation and a TPMS relearn is required. The tool will display specific instructions if a vehicle requires special pressure/tire adjustments before performing a relearn.
3. Relearn When replacing a sensor, or altering sensor locations, a TPMS relearn is required. The Relearn function displays all necessary steps to put a vehicle into a “learn” mode, to relearn the sensors to the ECU. If applicable, an OBDII relearn can be performed with the OBDII Cable included with the tool. The TPMS5 will display OBDII port locations and instructions.
4. Replace If a sensor needs replacing, this function can be used to program aftermarket TPMS sensors, view OEM sensor part numbers, as well as images of all sensors. Sensor Programming functions are explained in the next section.
4.1 Create The Create function allows the user to program a brand new sensor ID to an aftermarket TPMS sensor. 1 2 Select the sensor brand you are working with, then select “Create”. Place the sensor above the tool’s antenna, and tap program, or use the Trigger button on top of the tool. 3 4 The tool will begin programming the sensor. This process may take a few moments. Once successfully programmed, the tool will display the sensor’s ID, pressure, and temperature.
