3.2 TPMS Sensor Programming (for XTOOL TS100 sensors)

The TP150 can program XTOOL TS100 universal sensors. This is exclusive to TS100 sensors and offers multiple programming methods.

1. Select "TPMS" then "Programming" from the menu.
2. Elija uno de los siguientes métodos de programación:
   • Method 1: Auto ID Generation - Generates a new, unique ID for the sensor.
   • Method 2: Manual ID Input - Allows you to manually enter an existing sensor ID.
   • Method 3: Copy ID by Activation - Copies the ID from an activated original sensor.
   • Method 4: Copy ID by OBD - Copies the ID from the vehicle's ECU via the OBD port.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions for the chosen method.

3.3 TPMS Relearn/Reset

After replacing or rotating tires, sensors need to be relearned to the vehicle's system. The TP150 supports various relearn modes.

1. Select "TPMS" then "Relearn/Reset" from the menu.
2. Choose the appropriate relearn type for your vehicle:
   • Reaprender OBD: Connects to the vehicle's OBD-II port to write new sensor IDs to the ECU.
   • Manual Relearn: Guides you through a vehicle-specific procedure, often involving specific actions like horn honks or key cycles.
   • Auto Relearn: Some vehicles automatically relearn sensors after driving for a certain period.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the relearn process.
