How to troubleshoot the U508 TPMS Relearn Tool?

PREAMBLE:
This is a troubleshooting procedure regarding the U508 not working during use. Please follow the manual and follow the troubleshooting procedure if you encounter problems. Make sure your car is in the fit list (brand, model and year need to match one to one)

Before Use:

  1. Confirm that the 9V battery is in good condition.
  2. The indicator light will light up when the button is pressed.
  3. Confirm that the tire sensors are original.
  4. The frequency of the tire sensors is 315/433MHz.
  5. Not applicable to cars with more than four tires.
  6. Know how to get into the learning mode of your car.

Troubleshooting:

  • If the batteries are good and the light doesn’t come on, then it is certain that the tool itself is defective. Or please change the battery.
  • If the car is second-hand, please contact the previous buyer or car dealer to confirm that the tire sensors are factory original. Or replace them with original sensors
  • Please ensure that there are no other faults with the vehicle, other faults may also cause tire position learning to fail. If you do not know how to enter the learning mode, please contact your vehicle dealer or check online, different brands enter the tire learning mode in different ways. Some can enter the learning mode directly, some need the OBD tool.

In Use:

  • The front wheels must be straight.
  • Make sure the tool is aligned with the correct position of the sensor antenna. (refer to picture 1&2)

Hold the tool against the tire sidewall while pressing the button until the horn beeps. To process the TPMS learning, please follow the sequence of the left front wheel, right front wheel, right rear wheel, and right front wheel. (refer to the following picture)

Troubleshooting:

  • Failure to straighten the front wheels can lead to TPMS learning failure.
  • Tyre sensors are normally located close to the valve, and TPMS learning may not be possible if the tire sensor is not aligned or is too far from the valve.
  • If you do not hear a beep when the button is pressed during tire learning when all other operations are correct, there may be a problem with the tool.
  • Failure to carry out TPMS learning in the correct order can also lead to unsuccessful TPMS learning.
