4. Упутство за употребу

The LAUNCH X-431 i-TPMS offers two modes of operation: binding with a compatible LAUNCH X-431 scanner or operating standalone with the i-TPMS mobile application.

4.1 Operation with LAUNCH X-431 Scanner

When bound with a LAUNCH X-431 scanner (8-inch screen or above), the i-TPMS can perform a full range of TPMS services including activation, programming, relearn, and diagnosis for sensors.

  • Активација: Read sensor ID, tire pressure, tire temperature, sensor battery, sensor position, and frequency.
  • Програмирање: Create new sensor IDs for LAUNCH sensors. Supports auto-creation for 1-16 sensors or manual input.
  • поново научити: Perform Stationary Relearn, Automatic Relearn, or OBD Relearning procedures to link new sensor IDs to the vehicle's ECU.
  • дијагноза: Read and clear TPMS fault codes.

4.2 Standalone Operation with i-TPMS Mobile App

The i-TPMS can also function independently when paired with the i-TPMS mobile application on an Android phone. This mode supports sensor activation and programming.

  • Replace Tire Pressure Sensor: Guide through the process of replacing a sensor.
  • Активирајте сензор: Initiate communication with the sensor to read its data.
  • Program Sensor ID: Create new sensor IDs.
  • Query Sensor OE Part Number: Retrieve original equipment part numbers for sensors.
  • Generate Tire Pressure Detection Reports: Create reports based on sensor data.

4.3 Програмирање TPMS сензора

The i-TPMS allows for programming LAUNCH LTR RF sensors to replace original equipment (OE) sensors. This process can be done automatically or manually.

Figure 4.2: Sensor ID programming options.

  1. Auto Create Sensor ID: If the original sensor ID is unknown, the i-TPMS can automatically generate a new ID.
  2. Manual Create Sensor ID: Allows the user to manually input a specific sensor ID.

4.4 TPMS Relearn Procedures

After replacing or programming a sensor, a relearn procedure is necessary to ensure the vehicle's ECU recognizes the new sensor IDs.

Figure 4.3: TPMS Relearn options.

  • Поновно учење OBD-а: Connects to the vehicle's OBD-II port to transfer sensor IDs.
  • Аутоматско поновно учење: Sensors are automatically learned by driving the vehicle.
  • Стационарно поновно учење: Requires specific steps to be performed while the vehicle is stationary.

4.5 Reading and Clearing Fault Codes

The i-TPMS can diagnose issues within the TPMS by reading and clearing diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).
