5. Setup Guide
5.1. Charging the Device
Before initial use, fully charge the TK100 device using the provided Type-C cable and a 5V/2.0A charger. Avoid using fast chargers to prevent potential damage to the battery.
5.2. Downloading the TPMS LINK App
The KONNWEI TK100 operates in conjunction with the "TPMS LINK" mobile application. This app is available for both Android and iOS devices.
- Search for "TPMS LINK" in your device's app store (Google Play Store for Android, Apple App Store for iOS).
- Download and install the application.
5.3. Pairing with Your Mobile Device
To connect the TK100 to your smartphone or tablet:
- Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device.
- Power on the KONNWEI TK100 by pressing and holding the power button.
- Open the "TPMS LINK" app on your mobile device.
- Within the app, locate and tap the Bluetooth icon (usually in the upper left corner) to initiate the pairing process.
- Once connected, the app will display the device status, and you can proceed to activate tire pressure messages.
6. Operating Instructions
6.1. Activating TPMS Sensors
The TK100 can quickly activate 99% of TPMS sensors, enabling fast tire pressure reading, programming, and learning. This process involves triggering the sensor to transmit its data.
6.2. Programming TPMS Sensors
The "TPMS LINK" app provides dedicated functions for programming sensors. This allows you to create new sensor IDs or clone existing ones.
- Open the "TPMS LINK" app and ensure the TK100 is connected.
- Navigate to the "Programming" section within the app.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to program new KONNWEI TPMSLINK sensors.
6.3. Reading Sensor Data
Once sensors are activated, the TK100 can read comprehensive data from them, which is displayed on the mobile app.
- Data Points: Tire Pressure, Tire Temperature, Sensor Frequency (315MHz/433MHz), Sensor ID, Sensor Battery Power, Sensor Position.
- The app provides quick and reliable results, triggering all sensors in seconds.
6.4. TPMS Relearn Procedures
After replacing or programming TPMS sensors, they must be relearned to the vehicle's ECU. The TK100 supports various relearn methods:
- OBDII Relearn: For most OBD2 compliant vehicles. This method involves connecting the OBD dongle to the vehicle's OBD-II port and following the app's instructions to transfer sensor IDs to the vehicle's ECU.
- Automatic Relearn: Supported by over 99% of cars. This method typically involves driving the vehicle for a certain period after sensor replacement.
- Stationary Relearn: Supported by over 99% of cars. This method usually requires specific steps to be performed while the vehicle is stationary, often guided by the vehicle's dashboard or the TK100 app.
6.5. Tyre Pressure System Diagnosis
The TK100, when connected via the OBD dongle, can perform diagnostic functions for the tire pressure system:
- Reading fault codes related to TPMS.
- Clearing TPMS fault codes.
- Performing OBD learning procedures.
- Writing the ID of Radio Frequency (RF) sensors to the vehicle's ECU.
6.6. Vehicle Compatibility
The TK100 supports reading ID and OBD to learn vehicle series from various regions, including CN, AU, EU, US, KR, and JP.
