Safety Signal Words
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
All safety messages contain a safety signal word that indicates the level of the hazard. An icon, when present, gives a graphical description of the hazard. Safety Signal words are:
DANGER
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result
in death or serious injury to the operator or to bystanders.
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury to the operator or to bystanders.
CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result
in moderate or minor injury to the operator or to bystanders.
Safety Message Conventions
Safety messages are provided to help prevent personal injury and equipment
damage. Safety messages communicate the hazard, hazard avoidance and possible
consequences using three different type styles:
- Normal type states the hazard.
Bold type states how to avoid the hazard.
Italic type states the possible consequences of not avoiding the hazard.
An icon, when present, gives a graphical description of the potential hazard.

Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution: To assure continued compliance, any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. (Example – use only shielded interface cables when connecting to computer or peripheral devices).
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. The exposure standard for wireless devices employing
a unit of measurement is known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The
SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. The FCC has granted an Equipment
Authorization for this device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this device
is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: 2ANR7-TPMS5 This
transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.

Tool Operation and Navigation
When testing sensors, position the TPMS5 antenna on the sidewall of the tire
near the valve. Press the Trigger button to trigger the sensor.
For certain applications, the OBDII Cable is needed to perform vehicle
relearns, placard adjustments, and more. For these applications, Plug the
OBDII cable into the tool, and the other end into the vehicle. The TPMS5 will
display OBDII vehicle port locations for easy identification.
A – Main Menu
The Main Menu is a hub to the various features and functions available on the TPMS5. From this screen you will find the main TPMS Function, Special Functions, Update/Registration, Settings, History, and Training.
B – TPMS
The main function of the TPMS5 is to trigger sensors, perform TPMS relearns,
replace sensors, and more. This section will cover all the functionalities of
“TPMS”.
-
Trigger Sensor
Trigger Sensor is selected by default upon entering the TPMS function. From here, using the Trigger button on top of the tool or by tapping the trigger icon on the display (located on the vehicle icon), the tool will trigger TPMS sensors and display all TPMS info.
Sensor ID
Sensor ID is unique to each TPMS sensor and can be displayed in either Hexadecimal or decimal format by tapping the drop down arrow.
Notes
Custom notes can be entered by tapping the pencil icon
Pressure
Tire pressure is displayed in PSI, Bar, or kPa, by tapping the drop down arrow.
Temperature
Tire temperature is displayed in either Farenheit or Celcius by tapping the drop down arrow.
Frequency
Sensor frequency is displayed. Many Domestic vehicles use 315 MHz, and many Asian and European use 433 MHz.
Battery
Sensor battery status is displayed. If a sensor’s battery is sufficient “OK” will be displayed. If a sensor battery is low, “NOK” will be displayed
G
Some sensors contain an accelerometer. the G column will display this data if applicable -
Rotate
The Rotate function is used whenever performing a tire rotation and a TPMS relearn is required. The tool will display specific instructions if a vehicle requires special pressure/tire adjustments before performing a relearn.
-
Relearn
When replacing a sensor, or altering sensor locations, a TPMS relearn is required. The Relearn function displays all necessary steps to put a vehicle into a “learn” mode, to relearn the sensors to the ECU. If applicable, an OBDII relearn can be performed with the OBDII Cable included with the tool. The TPMS5 will display OBDII port locations and instructions.
Manual Relearn Example
OBDII Relearn Example
- Replace
If a sensor needs replacing, this function can be used to program aftermarket TPMS sensors, view OEM sensor part numbers, as well as images of all sensors. Sensor Programming functions are explained in the next section.
Aftermarket Example
OEM Example
-
Create
The Create function allows the user to program a brand new sensor ID to an aftermarket TPMS sensor. -
Select the sensor brand you are working with, then select “Create”.
-
Place the sensor above the tool’s antenna, and tap program, or use the Trigger button on top of the tool.
-
The tool will begin programming the sensor. This process may take a few moments.
-
Once successfully programmed, the tool will display the sensor’s ID, pressure, and temperature.
