5.1. Aktivasyon Capteur TPMS la

This function is used to activate dormant TPMS sensors and retrieve their data. Point the TSGUN towards the tire valve stem and activate the sensor. The device will read and display the following information:

• ID Capteur
• Presyon kawotchou
• Tanperati kawotchou
• Eta Batri Capteur a
• Pozisyon Capteur
• Frekans

5.2. TPMS Reaprann

After replacing a TPMS sensor or rotating tires, the vehicle's ECU needs to learn the new sensor IDs. The TSGUN supports various relearn procedures:

• Reaprantisaj Estasyonè: Requires the vehicle to be in a specific relearn mode, often initiated via the vehicle's dashboard controls.
• Reaprantisaj Otomatik: The vehicle automatically learns new sensor IDs after driving for a certain period under specific conditions.
• OBD Relearning: Writes new sensor IDs directly to the vehicle's TPMS module via the OBD-II port, typically performed through the connected LAUNCH diagnostic tablet.

5.3. TPMS Sensor Programming

The TSGUN can program blank LAUNCH LTR-01 sensors to replace faulty or missing sensors. It offers four programming methods:

• Kreyasyon Otomatik: Generates a new, unique sensor ID.
• Kreyasyon Manyèl: Allows manual input of a specific sensor ID.
• Kopi pa Aktivasyon: Kopye ID a soti nan yon detèktè aktive ki deja egziste.
• Kopi pa OBD: Copies sensor IDs directly from the vehicle's ECU via the OBD-II port.

Important: This tool can only program LAUNCH LTR-01 sensors. It is not compatible with other brands of TPMS sensors for programming.
