4. ຄໍາແນະນໍາການດໍາເນີນງານ

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.

ຮູບ 4.1: ເກີນview of TPMS functions available with an X-431 scanner.

• ການເປີດໃຊ້ງານ: Read sensor ID, tire pressure, tire temperature, sensor battery, sensor position, and frequency.
• ການຂຽນໂປຣແກຣມ: Create new sensor IDs for LAUNCH sensors. Supports auto-creation for 1-16 sensors or manual input.
• ຮຽນຮູ້ໃໝ່: Perform Stationary Relearn, Automatic Relearn, or OBD Relearning procedures to link new sensor IDs to the vehicle's ECU.
• ການວິນິດໄສ: 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.
• ເປີດໃຊ້ເຊັນເຊີ: 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 ການຂຽນໂປຣແກຣມເຊັນເຊີ 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.

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.

• OBD ຮຽນຮູ້ຄືນໃໝ່: Connects to the vehicle's OBD-II port to transfer sensor IDs.
• ຮຽນຮູ້ຄືນໃໝ່ໂດຍອັດຕະໂນມັດ: Sensors are automatically learned by driving the vehicle.
• ການຮຽນຮູ້ຄືນໃໝ່ແບບຢຸດນິ້ງ: Requires specific steps to be performed while the vehicle is stationary.

4.5 ການອ່ານ ແລະລຶບລະຫັດຄວາມຜິດ

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