Shenzhen Fcar Technology FTP-SENSOR TPMS Tools
Product Overview
FTP-SENSOR is a portable tool that is used to activate or program tire
pressure sensors. This tool includes a small hardware set and an android App.
The App provides a human-computer interaction interface. The user sends
commands to the hardware set through the App, and the hardware set executes
the corresponding operations to tire pressure sensors.
Product Structure
Product Parameter
power supply system
The sensor is powered by a DC3V button battery
Applnstalling
The App QR code is printed on the package of the hardware set. You can scan
the QR code to install the APP through the Android phone. The App applies to
Android 5.0 and above.
Connecting of APP and Hardware Set
The tool has a built-in Bluetooth. The default 315MHz/433.92MHz name isFTP
SENSOR, and it connects the hardware set with the Android phone installed the
App.The tire pressure sensor applies wireless communication protocol.
Operation Guide
This tool provides IActivate – [Program] – [Learn] – [Search] TPMS services
for maintenance Technicians. Before activating the operation, you need to
select a car model. The tool doesn’t apply to car models with indirect tire
pressure detecting system.
Car Model Selecting
Take IChina Region — [Audil– [A41 – (2001/01-2009/12(433MHz) I as an example
:
Activate
Read the original sensors installed in the car through this function. When
performing [Programming/ [Copy by activation first get the original sensor ID
through the Activate function, then copy the ID to the new sensor.
How to activate sensors
- Keep the hardware set close to the original sensor within 10cm, and enter the Activate interface, then select a tire and click [Activate] button.
- The following tip pops up, please operate according to the tip, and then click OK.
Keep the tool top close to the sensor from the outer edge of the tire. If failed, try to do it from different tire position or direction. For the Ford cars using the Banded sensors, sensors are fixed in a positon 180 degrees away from the tire valve. Try to find the positon. - If activating succeeds, the ID is displayed in the figure as below. if not, failed information is displayed.
Activation status icons are shown in the table as follows:
Program Three ways are used to program sensors: [Copy by activation [
Manually create – [Auto create(1-5)
Copy ID through Activation
This function copies the original sensor ID to program it to the new sensorsby
activating the original sensor. The original sensor ID can be read by the car
EQ so you need not perform Learn operation when the new sensor replaces the
original sensor.
How to copy through activating
-
Select [Programming] – [Copy by activation]
-
If the tip shown as below pops up, you need to activate the original sensor first. Click the [Okl to transfer to the Activate interface.
-
If activating successes, the ID and relevant information are displayed.
-
Return to [Programming] interface, click [Copy by activation], and a tip pops up.
Note: Keep the hardware set-top close to the sensor to be programmed with10cm.To avoid disturbing, keep other sensors100cm away from the hardware set.| -
Click (OKI to search the new sensor, and don’t move the sensor and the tool.
-
If two sensors or more are detected, and a tiP pops up, please take other sensors 100cm away from the tool. Click (Ok) to restart searching.
-
If one sensor is detected, click [Ok) to program.
-
After programming finishes, and ID information is listed.Clickto retun for programming other sensors.
Manually Create ID
This function programs the original sensor ID to the new sensor by inputting
the original sensor ID manually.Need not perfom Leam operation when the new
sensor replaces the onginal sensor.
How to input ID manually
-
Select (Programming – (Manually create after getting the original sensor ID.
Note: Keep the hardware set-top close to the new sensor with 10cm.To avoid disturbing, keep other sensors 100cm away from the hardware set. -
The tool searches the new sensor, and don’t move the sensor and the tool.
-
If two sensors or more are detected, and a tip pops up, please take other sensors 100cm away from the tool. Click [Ok] restart searching.
-
If one sensor is detected, input the sensor ID of 8 characters and click (Ok) in the new pop-up window.
-
Start to program
-
If programming succeeds, click to return for other sensors programming.
Auto-Create ID
This function can program 1-5 sensors lDs randomly at the same time. Because
the IDs are created randomly by the system, and the ECU cannot read them, so
you need perform Learnoperation to write the IDs to ECU when new sensors
replace the original sensors.
How to create 1-5 new IDs
- Select [Programming – [Auto create (1-5) 1. Put 1-5 new sensors close to the top of the tool within 10cm.
- Click OKI to program if new sensors are detected.
- If programming succeeds, all IDs are listed. Click to program other sensors.
Learning
The function is used to write the new sensor IDs into the car ECU. lfa new
sensor is installed in a car to replace the original one, and its’ ID is
different with the original lD, you must perform the Learn operation, so that
the car ECU can distinguish the new ID. There are three ways for the learning
function: Static Learning, Self-Learning, Copying Learning. The learning way
is also different on different brands of vehicles. Among them, copying
learning is to copy the ID of the original sensor to program it into the new
sensor. The process of copying is the process of learning, so there is no need
to perform actual learning operations.
Static Learning
For detailed learning steps and driving process, please refer to the prompt on
the Screen.
Self-Learning
This learning way is by driving. For detailed learning stepsand driving
process, please refer to the prompt on the screen.
Copy Learning
This way is by copying the original sensor ID to program the new sensor. The
new sensor ID is the same as the original sensor ID, so learning is completed
after programing.
