When it comes to maintaining your vehicle's Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), the XTOOL TP150 and XTOOL TS100 Sensor form the ultimate solution, offering efficient diagnostics and sensor replacement all in one powerful package. These tools are designed to work seamlessly together, ensuring your TPMS operates flawlessly and saving you both time and money. Whether you're a professional mechanic or a DIY enthusiast, here’s how to use these tools in combination for complete TPMS service.
A Step-by-Step Guide to TPMS Service with XTOOL TP150 and TS100
Activate TPMS Sensors with XTOOL TP150
Begin by using the XTOOL TP150 to activate your TPMS sensors. This tool is compatible with both 315MHz and 433MHz frequency sensors, whether they’re original equipment (OE) or aftermarket. Simply connect the TP150 to your vehicle and select the appropriate sensor type. The TP150 will quickly retrieve important sensor data, including the sensor ID, tire pressure, temperature, battery status, and frequency. This activation process ensures that you have accurate readings for every tire.
Diagnose and Check TPMS System Health
After activation, you can use the TP150 to diagnose the health of your TPMS. It provides real-time sensor information, checks for faults, and reads Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) from the TPMS system. If the TPMS light is on, the TP150 will help identify the root cause, whether it's low tire pressure, a malfunctioning sensor, or a need for recalibration. The tool also allows you to turn off the TPMS warning light after resolving issues.
Relearn TPMS Sensors Using TP150
Next, the XTOOL TP150 helps you perform a TPMS relearn. This step is essential when you’ve replaced or rotated tires. You can choose between OBD Relearn or Stationary Relearn, depending on your vehicle's make and model. The TP150 supports relearning procedures for 99% of vehicles, covering American, Asian, and European brands. This ensures that your TPMS system is reset and fully synchronized with the new sensor data.
Sensor Replacement with XTOOL TS100
If you’ve discovered that a TPMS sensor is faulty or damaged, the XTOOL TS100 Sensor comes into play. This programmable universal TPMS sensor is compatible with both 315MHz and 433MHz frequencies, offering you flexibility in sensor replacement. The TS100 can be easily programmed wirelessly, even after it has been installed on the wheel. The sensor can be cloned with the original ID, so you can quickly replace a broken sensor without the need for a dealership.
Programming and Installing the TS100 Sensor
To replace a faulty sensor, simply use the TP150 to program the XTOOL TS100 Sensor. The TP150 will allow you to choose from several programming methods, including Auto ID Generation, Manual Input ID, Copy ID by Activation, and Copy ID by OBD. Once programmed, the TS100 sensor can be installed in the same position as the original, ensuring perfect fitment and performance. With its 98% coverage of OE sensors, the TS100 is suitable for nearly all vehicles on the road, making it the ideal choice for quick and reliable sensor replacements.
Final Relearn and System Check
After installing the new XTOOL TS100 Sensor, you’ll need to perform another OBD Relearn or Stationary Relearn to ensure the new sensor is properly recognized by the vehicle’s ECU. The XTOOL TP150 will guide you through this process, confirming that the sensor is correctly integrated into the TPMS system.
Ongoing Monitoring and Diagnostics
Once the new sensor is installed and the system is recalibrated, continue to use the TP150 for ongoing diagnostics and monitoring. The TP150’s real-time data display allows you to check tire pressure, temperature, and battery status continuously, ensuring that your TPMS remains accurate and functioning at all times.
