Press it and last 3 seconds to turn it on.
- Screen On: Press it once to enter hibernate mode.
- If the tool has no power, or after the automatic shutdown interval, the tool will shut down automatically.
- If the device is charging and does not operate within 5 minutes, it will automatically enter hibernate mode to conserve battery power.
- Screen Off (hibernate): Press it once to wake it up. Press it and last 3 seconds to turn it off.
OBDII (EOBD) Diagnostic Cable
-
Connect the vehicle’s DLC port to do the OBD diagnosis function and TPMS learning function.
Note: It is to connect DLC port when doing the activation or programming function. Attempting to charge the tool via OBD diagnostic port will consume vehicle’s battery power. It is not recommended to charge the tool in this way except for OBD diagnosis operations. -
Charging (Not recommended)
If the tool is properly connected to the vehicle’s DLC(Data Link Connector) port, it will be charged automatically.
Check Sensor
This function allows users to activate TPMS sensor to view sensor data such as sensor ID, tire pressure, tire frequency, tire temperature and battery condition.
-
For initial use, please follow the steps below to enter the TPMS function menu.
Enter TPMS Select vehicle manufacturer Select vehicle model Select vehicle year.
Note: The indirect tire pressure monitoring system only supports the learning function. -
Select Activate Sensor and press to check the sensor. And repeat this step to check other vehicle sensors.
For universal sensors, place the tool alongside the valve stem, point toward
the sensor location, and press the button.
Notes:
- For early magnet-activated sensors, place the magnet over the stem and then place the tool alongside the valve stem.
- If the TPMS sensor requires tire deflation (of the order of 10PSI), then deflate the tire and place the tool alongside the stem while pressing the button.
After all sensors are successfully activated, the following interface will
appear:
Note:
ID: indicates the sensor ID.
P: indicates the tire pressure.
T: indicates the tire temperature.
Vol: indicates the battery power level.
Notes:
- Once the sensor is successfully activated and decoded, the tool will sound a beep and the screen will display the sensor data with a tick.
- If the sensor fails to be triggered, the icon will appear next to the wheel position.
- If the sensor data is abnormal, it will be displayed in red.
Program Sensor
This function allows users to program the sensor data to the THINKCAR sensor
and replace faulty sensor with low battery life or one that is not
functioning.
The following options are available for programming THINKCAR sensor: CREATE
SENSOR; MANUAL INPUT; COPY ID BY ACTIVATE; CREATE MULTI-SENSOR (1-8).
Select PROGRAM SENSOR and press the button to enter the following interface.
CREATE SENSOR : This function is designed to program the THINKCAR sensor
by applying random IDs created according to the test vehicle when it is unable
to obtain the original sensor ID.
Select the wheel which needs to be programmed on the tool, place a THINKCAR
sensor close to the TPMS antenna of the tool, and select “CREATE SENSOR” to
create a new random sensor ID.
Notes:
- If a random ID is entered, please perform the TPMS Relearn function after programming is finished. If the original ID is entered, there is no need to perform Relearn function.
MANUAL INPUT: This function allows users to manually enter sensor ID. Users can enter the random ID or the original sensor ID, if it is available.
Notes:
- If a random ID is entered, please perform the TPMS Relearn function after programming is finished. If the original ID is entered, there is no need to perform Relearn function.
- If a vehicle does not support relearn function, please select the Manual Input option to enter the original sensor ID manually, or trigger the original sensor at the activation interface to get its information, before programming the THINKCAR sensor.
COPY ID BY ACTIVATE : This function allows users to write in the retrieved original sensor data to the THINKCAR sensor. It is used after the original sensor is triggered.
CREATE MULTI-SENSOR (1-8) : This function allows users to program multiple sensors simultaneously. Up to 8 sensors can be programmed at the same time.
Relearn Sensor
This function allows you to check and view the detailed TPMS sensor relearn procedures. Relearn operation applies only when the newly programmed sensor IDs are different from the original sensor IDs stored in the vehicle’s ECU. Relearn is used to write the newly programmed sensor IDs into the vehicle’s ECU for sensor recognition.
Upgrade
This function is for updating some firmware and new car models. You can also
locate the guidance on the tool: HELP – Software update guide.
