The OTC Tire Pressure Monitor kit is designed to be a complete, universal kit covering vehicles having a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
The software contains a vehicle entry system for easy and accurate access to the correct interface for a vehicle. The monitor has a graphical interface that allows use of the tool with little or no knowledge of TPMS.The manual contains critical reset procedures, along with all system information, including torque specifications and wiring diagrams.
Resetting a tire pressure monitor system is likely required if any of the following procedures are performed on a vehicle:
Tire pressure correction(s)
Tire / wheel rotation
Tire / wheel replacement
Wheel electronic unit replacement
Receiving antenna replacement
Control unit replacement
Loss of sensor or vehicle battery power
The Tire Pressure Monitor contains a simple-to-use interface. Once the vehicle's Make-Model- Year is entered, the user is provided with the ability to reset or diagnose the TPMS.
If a RESET PROCEDURE is selected, the monitor directs the user to the correct section of the manual for the vehicle entered. In most cases, the tool is used in conjunction with the reset procedure.
If DIAGNOSTICS is selected, data for troubleshooting the TPMS can be obtained by using the monitor to activate the sensors and inspect the transmitted data in most cases.
Displays sensor data, such as ID and pressure. Sensor activation and data display are dependent upon system type.
Updateable via serial cable to PC to keep up with changing vehicle requirements.
Maintains "last vehicle" use history.
Three "C" batteries provide hours of continuous use. (Auto shutdown is after three minutes of inactivity.)
