4. Arahan Operasi
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.
Gambar 4.1: Lebihview of TPMS functions available with an X-431 scanner.
- Pengaktifan: Read sensor ID, tire pressure, tire temperature, sensor battery, sensor position, and frequency.
- Pengaturcaraan: Create new sensor IDs for LAUNCH sensors. Supports auto-creation for 1-16 sensors or manual input.
- Belajar semula: Perform Stationary Relearn, Automatic Relearn, or OBD Relearning procedures to link new sensor IDs to the vehicle's ECU.
- Diagnosis: 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.
- Aktifkan Sensor: 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 Pengaturcaraan Sensor TPMS
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.
- Auto Create Sensor ID: If the original sensor ID is unknown, the i-TPMS can automatically generate a new ID.
- Manual Create Sensor ID: Allows the user to manually input a specific sensor ID.
4.4 Prosedur Pembelajaran Semula TPMS
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.
- Belajar Semula OBD: Connects to the vehicle's OBD-II port to transfer sensor IDs.
- Belajar Semula Automatik: Sensors are automatically learned by driving the vehicle.
- Belajar Semula Pegun: Requires specific steps to be performed while the vehicle is stationary.
4.5 Membaca dan Mengosongkan Kod Kerosakan
The i-TPMS can diagnose issues within the TPMS by reading and clearing diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).
Figure 4.4: Process of reading and clearing TPMS fault codes.
- Baca Kod Kesalahan: Access and display current and stored TPMS-related DTCs.
- Kosongkan Kod Kesalahan: Erase DTCs from the vehicle's ECU after repairs or sensor replacements.
