TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System):
The 2006 Tucson TPMS is a Direct Type TPMS.
Direct Type - The tire pressure and the tire temperature is detected directly
by the sensor located at the base of the tire inflation stem. The tire pressure
sensor is always operating regardless of ignition status.
2006 2.7L Tucson vehicles equipped with TPMS are delivered to dealerships
in the "Normal Mode". Dealerships are not required to activate the system
from "Transport/Storage Mode" to "Normal Mode". Dealerships must
continue to adjust the tire pressure of each wheel as required by the PDI
(Pre-Delivery Inspection) procedure.

- TIRE SNSR CONFIG (EXCITER) provides assess to sensor-related functions.
TPMS DIAGNOSIS FUNCTIONS
Before selecting "01. TPMS DIAGNOSIS", connect the DLC cable to the port located on the bottom of the TPMS tool.
Connect the other end of the DLC cable to the OBD-II connector of the vehicle. Once the cable connections are established, place the vehicle ignition key into the ON position and press the ENTER key on the TPMS tool two (2) consecutive times.
The following functions are available once the ECU communication is established.
1. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES allows the user to retrieve and clear TPMS Diagnostic trouble Codes. (DTCs)
2. CURRENT DATA displays ECU data related to TPMS operation.
3. WARNING STATE displays information stored by the ECU if a TPMS sensor detects a pressure or temperature condition that is outside programmed parameters. Up to three "Warning States" of individual wheels could be displayed.
NOTE: The wheel location can only be identified by its sensor I.D.
4. ACTUATION TEST allows the TPMS warning lamps to be tested.
5. ECU INFORMATION displays ECU programming data and sensor identification numbers (IDs).
6. SPECIFIC DATA WRITING is used to configure a new ECU and manually register sensor ID's.
7. DUAL DISPLAY is a combination screen showing DTCs and CURRENT DATA.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES SCREEN
The DTCs will be displayed in order of occurrence. Use the F2 key to clear DTCs. The user will be prompted to press the ENTER key to confirm or ESC key to cancel.
CURRENT DATA SCREEN
Data displayed is related to sensor input as detected by the ECU. Additional ECU-related parameters are also available.
NOTE:
- The "RF NOISE LEVEL" parameter is related to Radio Frequency (RF) interference detected by the TPMS ECU.
- Due to the normal operating characteristics of the system, sensor data will not normally update in "real-time"; the TPMS sensors normally transmit at 3 minute 20 second intervals unless a warning condition exists. In addition, if a sensor has not been registered in the ECU, that sensor's data will not be available.
The F1 (FIX) key is used to select a data parameter after highlighting it using the up/down arrow "Fixing" a data item forces the TPMS tool to updated information for "Fixed" items only.
The F3 (FULL) key is used to display 22 data parameters at once; use the up/down arrows to navigate between screens.
The F5 key is used to display a graph showing two data parameters at once; before graphing, at least one item must be selected using the "Fix" function.
WARNING STATE SCREEN
The WARNING STATE screen displays data related to pressure/temperature warning conditions detected by the TPMS sensors. The last three warning states are stored on this screen.
NOTE:
Due to the normal operating characteristics of the low-line TPMS, the exact tire position will not be shown. The sensor ID references all sensor-related data.
The F1 and F3 keys have the same functions as noted under the CURRENT DATA screen.
ACTUATION TEST SCREEN
The ACTUATION TEST screen is used to test the Function of the TPMS warning lamps. The F1 and F2 keys are used to START and STOP the tests.
Actuation test mode
-TPMS warning lamp
-Tread warning lamp
-TPMS warning lamp and Tread warning lamp
TPMS ECU INFORMATION SCREEN
The ECU INFORMATION screen has two menu options:
- TPMS CONTROL MODULE INFO displays ECU configuration data.
- CURRENT SENSOR ID shows the IDs of the currently registered sensors.
NOTE:
For the 2006 Tucson, the CURRENT SENSOR ID screen is configured to support 4 sensor ID's data. The sensor ID5 will always show "00000000".
SPECIFIC DATA WRITING SCREEN
Four options are available in the Specific Data Writing Screen:
1. VEHICLE NAME
2. WHEEL SENSOR ID
3. VIN
4. MODE CONFIGURATION
VEHICLE NAME SCREEN

NOTE:
This operation should be performed whenever a TPMS ECU is replaced.
MODE CONFIGURATION SCREEN
This screen is used to change the TPMS ECU's mode to NORMAL. New TPMS ECU's are shipped in an "UNPROGRAMMED" mode, and it MUST be set to NORMAL mode before the TPMS will function correctly. Press ENTER key to set NORMAL mode and press enter again to confirm the operation. Following this operation, turn the TPMS Exciter OFF, disconnect the tool from the OBD-II connector, and turn the ignition key OFF for 10 seconds.
NOTE:
This operation should be performed whenever the TPMS ECU is replaced. If vehicle name and wheel sensor ID haven't been written first, the TPMS ECU can't be changed to NORMAL mode. The TPMS ECU that is not in NORMAL mode will flash the TPMS warning lamp on the instrument panel.
TIRE SNSR CONFIG (EXCITER) FUNCTIONS
Select 02. TIRE SNSR CONFIG (EXCITER) from the TPMS DIAGNOSIS menu.
TIRE SNSR CONFIG (EXCITER) MENU CONTAINS TWO MENU ITEMS:
1. SET SENSOR STATUS is used to read data from individual sensors and to change the configuration of a sensor. New sensors are shipped configured for HIGH status (sensor does not transmit unless an initiation command is received) and MUST be changed to LOW status (sensor transmits at regular intervals) to enable the sensor to work with the 2006 Tucson TPMS.
2. REGISTER SENSOR is used to capture the ID's of all 4 sensors and register the sensors to the TPMS ECU without the need for manual data entry.
SET SENSOR STATUS FUNCTION
Place the TMPS Exciter within 3 inches of the valve stem; point the arrow at the top of the TPMS exciter directly at the valve stem.
NOTE:
The distance from the TPMS Exciter to the valve stem will have an effect on the sensor response time. The farther away the tool is positioned from the sensor, the longer will be the response time. For best results, keep the TPMS exciter within 3 inches of the valve stem when performing sensor communication function.
Press ENTER at the "FUNCTION DESCRIPTION" screen. The TPMS tool will display "NOW COMMUNICATING" and the red "LF" LED will illuminate. Once the sensor responds, the green "RF" LED will momentarily blink and the sensor data will be displayed.
The sensor data displayed will include the Sensor ID, Pressure, Temperature and Battery information. Sensor configuration data will also be displayed.
If the "SENSOR OPTION" parameter Shows a "HIGH" status, the sensor will need to be reset to LOW.
1. Place the TPMS Exciter within 3 inches of the valve stem; point the arrow at the top of the TPMS exciter directly at the valve stem.
2. Press F3 (LOW), and continue to aim the TPMS exciter at the valve stem as indicated above. The TPMS exciter will switch the sensor from HIGH to LOW mode. Once the sequence is completed, the new sensor data will be displayed. To configure or check another sensor, the F1 (CLR) key may be used to restart the sensor communication process.
REGISTER SENSOR FUNCTION
This function is used to capture the sensor ID's, then register these ID's within the control unit. This function should be performed whenever a new sensor is installed, (first, set the sensor status as described in the SET SENSOR STATUS function) or if a new TPMS ECU is installed.
