Description

Receiver




1. Mode
(1) Virgin State (No TPMS sensor id's learned)
A. The receiver as a sole part is shipped in this state. Replacement parts should therefore arrive in this state.
B. In this state, there is no sensor monitoring and no DTC monitoring.
C. The state indicates that platform specific parameters must be written to the receiver and that sensors are un-learned.
D. In unlearned state when connected in the vehicle with ignition key on the TPMS lamp will flash at one second intervals.




(2) Normal State
A. In order for tire inflation state and DTC monitoring to occur, the receiver must be in this state.
B. In this state type 1, 2, or 3 sensor learning mode can be started.




2. Overview
A. Receives RF data from sensor.
B. Uses sensor data to decide whether to turn on TREAD Lamp.
C. Uses sensor information, background noise levels, Auto-learn status, short circuit output status, vehicle battery level, internal receiver states to determine if there is a system or a vehicle fault.
D. Activates LFI for TPMS sensor location.
