CHECK SENSOR
Enter the activation function to activate the sensor in the tire according to
the tire position prompted by the device, and use the up, down, left and right
flip keys to change the tire. The pressure, temperature, and ID information of
the tire is read after successful activation.
PROGRAM SENSOR
Entering the Sensor Programming Menu.
- Way 1: CREATE SENSOR
The system automatically creates the sensor ID, places the THINKCAR sensor in the hole on top of the device for programming, and then returns to the activation page and clicks the activation button on the VENU90 device to activate it.
Tip: The [RELEARN] function is required after the automatic creation of the sensor ID is programmed and activated.
- Way 2: MANUAL INPUT
If the current in-vehicle sensor ID is available, it can be programmed using the manual entry of the original sensor ID. Select the vehicle tires and click on Manually Create to enter the ID and program it.
Tip: If you choose to manually create a Sensor ID, you will need to perform a /RELEARN) function after activation is complete. If the original sensor ID is entered, the [RELEARN] function is not required.
- Way 3: COPY ID BY ACTIVATE
You need to activate the original sensor, get the original sensor ID and then write the original sensor ID to the sensor to be replaced by copying.
1. Enter [COPY ID BY ACTIVATE] to activate the original vehicle sensor, the sensor data will be displayed on the device after successful activation.
2. Select the corresponding tire and press OK to enter, the device copies the original sensor ID.
3. Place the THINKCAR sensor near the top of the VENU 90 device, and press [OK] to enter programming. The sensor programmed in this way is mounted directly on the tire to be mounted on the vehicle and the vehicle TPMS warning indicator will automatically turn off. Tip: Before using the activation copy, it is important to make sure that the original sensor can be activated.
- Way 4: COPY ID BY OBD
1. Connect the diagnostic device to the vehicle diagnostic block. The device reads the vehicle sensor data and then writes the read vehicle sensor data into the star card sensor through programming. Connect the diagnostic equipment to the vehicle diagnostic seat and enter [Copy BY OBD ] to read the ID information of the vehicle sensor.
2. Select the tire and the system automatically enters the sensor programming.
3. Press OK button to return to read sensor information interface to continue to program other tires.
4. After programming is completed, it can be directly mounted on the car and used.-
