8. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
MATCO TOOLS MAXTPMS 2.0 – User Guide
Service Procedure Section 1.0: Read Sensor Test Before servicing the
tires/wheels, using your TPMS TOOL, trigger each of the vehicle’s sensors to
make sure they are working properly.
This will eliminate the liability associated with replacing previously damaged
or defective sensors. This procedure will not change the vehicle settings
because the vehicle has yet to be put into learn/retraining mode.
This procedure allows you to quickly identify damaged or defective sensors,
because some vehicles do not report a damaged or defective sensor condition on
the instrument cluster for up to 20 minutes. Note: If the sensors do not
trigger, please refer to the Troubleshooting section of this Guide.
Perform tire/wheel service. For vehicles that require retraining, please see
to Section 2.0 Section 2.0: Learning TPM System With the vehicle in learn
mode, begin by triggering the driver’s front left (LF) wheel sensor. Many
vehicles will provide an audible beep confirming that the sensor ID has been
learned by the vehicle on board computer.
The communication between the sensor and the on board computer is also
confirmed on LCD display of the TOOL.
1 Start FL
FR 2
The same procedure should be followed on all wheel sensors, in a clockwise
rotation, until all the vehicle sensors have been retrained.
4 End RL
RR 3
After triggering the driver’s rear wheel sensor, some vehicles will beep twice, indicating that the TPM system has been retrained.
For vehicles that do not require retraining, we recommend you trigger each wheel sensor, one final time, to make sure they are working correctly prior to releasing the vehicle to the customer.
