5.1. TPMS Sensör Aktivasyonu

This function is used to activate dormant TPMS sensors and retrieve their data. Point the TSGUN towards the tire valve stem and activate the sensor. The device will read and display the following information:

• Sensör kimliği
• Lastik Basıncı
• Lastik Sıcaklığı
• Sensor Battery Status
• Sensör Konumu
• Sıklık

5.2. TPMS Yeniden Öğrenin

After replacing a TPMS sensor or rotating tires, the vehicle's ECU needs to learn the new sensor IDs. The TSGUN supports various relearn procedures:

• Sabit Yeniden Öğrenme: Requires the vehicle to be in a specific relearn mode, often initiated via the vehicle's dashboard controls.
• Otomatik Yeniden Öğrenme: The vehicle automatically learns new sensor IDs after driving for a certain period under specific conditions.
• OBD Relearning: Writes new sensor IDs directly to the vehicle's TPMS module via the OBD-II port, typically performed through the connected LAUNCH diagnostic tablet.

5.3. TPMS Sensör Programlaması

The TSGUN can program blank LAUNCH LTR-01 sensors to replace faulty or missing sensors. It offers four programming methods:

• Auto Create: Generates a new, unique sensor ID.
• Manual Create: Allows manual input of a specific sensor ID.
• Etkinleştirme yoluyla kopyala: Mevcut aktif bir sensörden kimlik numarasını kopyalar.
• OBD ile kopyalama: Copies sensor IDs directly from the vehicle's ECU via the OBD-II port.

Important: This tool can only program LAUNCH LTR-01 sensors. It is not compatible with other brands of TPMS sensors for programming.
