1. Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the installation, operation, and maintenance of the MOBILETRON MORESENSOR Signature Series 315MHz TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor, model CX-S002. This sensor is designed as a direct replacement for original equipment (OE) TPMS sensors in compatible vehicles, transmitting real-time tire pressure data to the vehicle's Electronic Control Unit (ECU).

2. Vehicle Compatibility
The MORESENSOR Signature Series TPMS sensor (CX-S002) is pre-programmed for a wide range of European brand models. It is crucial to verify compatibility with your specific vehicle before installation. Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual or use a reliable part finder tool to confirm fitment.
Key compatibility considerations:
- Radio Frequency: Ensure your vehicle requires a 315MHz TPMS sensor.
- Vehicle Details: Confirm your vehicle's make, model, and year.
- Production Year: Verify your vehicle's production year for accurate sensor matching.
Example of compatible vehicles (not exhaustive):
- BMW (E46, E39, E60, E61, E38, E66 series)
- Audi (A6, Allroad Quattro, S8)
- Porsche (Cayenne)
- Mercedes-Benz (CL, E, S, SL, SLR McLaren series)
- Volkswagen (Phaeton)
For a complete list and to verify fitment, consult the product listing or contact customer support with your vehicle's information.
3. Important Safety Information and Pre-Installation Checks
TPMS sensor installation is not a do-it-yourself (DIY) task. It requires specialized knowledge, skills, and equipment. Only qualified and certified mechanics with appropriate tools should perform the installation and relearn procedures.

3.1. Pre-Installation Checklist:
- Professional Installation: Ensure installation is performed by a qualified technician.
- Tool Compatibility: Do not attempt installation if your diagnostic tools cannot detect or communicate with the sensor (e.g., read sensor ID, frequency, battery status, PSI).
- Pre-programmed Status: This sensor is pre-programmed, meaning it is ready for pairing/re-learning with your vehicle's ECU.
Disclaimer: Mobiletron and its distributors are not responsible for labor or service costs incurred from installation failures due to improper handling, incompatible scan tools, or lack of proper relearn procedures. Reimbursement will not be applicable if sensor replacement is done by a DIYer or uncertified mechanic/technician.
4. Setup and Installation
The MORESENSOR Signature Series TPMS sensor is designed for direct fitment and is pre-programmed for compatible vehicles, simplifying the installation process. However, a relearn procedure is always required.
4.1. Installation Steps (Professional Installation Recommended):
- Tire Removal: Safely remove the tire from the wheel.
- Old Sensor Removal: Carefully remove the existing TPMS sensor from the wheel.
- New Sensor Installation: Install the MORESENSOR CX-S002 sensor into the wheel. Ensure the adjustable valve stem is correctly positioned for your rim type.
- Tire Mounting: Mount the tire back onto the wheel, taking care not to damage the sensor.
- Tire Inflation: Inflate the tire to the manufacturer's recommended pressure.
- Wheel Balancing: Balance the wheel and tire assembly.

4.2. Relearn Procedure:
After physical installation, all new TPMS sensors require a relearn procedure to pair with the vehicle's ECU. This allows the vehicle to recognize the new sensor and display accurate tire pressure information.
- Consult Owner's Manual: Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for specific standard relearn instructions.
- Professional Tools: A professional TPMS diagnostic tool may be required to initiate and complete the relearn process, especially for certain vehicle models.
- Automatic Relearn: Some vehicles feature an "auto-relearn" function, where the sensors are automatically recognized after driving for a certain period. However, manual initiation or a scan tool might still be necessary.

5. Operation
Once properly installed and relearned, the MORESENSOR CX-S002 TPMS sensor will continuously monitor your tire pressure and transmit this data wirelessly to your vehicle's TPMS receiver. The vehicle's system will then display the tire pressure readings, typically on the dashboard or through a dedicated TPMS display.
- Real-time Monitoring: The sensor transmits real-time tire pressure data.
- Low Pressure Warning: If tire pressure drops below a safe threshold, your vehicle's TPMS warning light will illuminate.
- Frequency: Operates at 315MHz, ensuring reliable communication with compatible vehicle systems.
6. Maintenance
The MORESENSOR TPMS sensor is designed for long-term reliability with minimal maintenance. The primary component requiring eventual replacement is the internal battery.
- Battery Life: The average lifespan of the sensor's internal battery is 5-8 years. Battery life can vary based on usage and environmental conditions.
- Sensor Replacement: When the battery depletes, the entire sensor unit typically needs to be replaced, as the battery is not user-replaceable.
- Valve Stem Inspection: During tire rotations or replacements, inspect the valve stem for any signs of damage or corrosion. The reinforced plastic and metal valve stem is designed for durability and anodized to prevent rust and corrosion.
7. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your TPMS system after installing the MORESENSOR CX-S002, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- TPMS Warning Light On:
- Check Tire Pressure: Manually check and adjust all tire pressures to the recommended levels.
- Relearn Procedure: Ensure the relearn procedure was successfully completed. If unsure, repeat the procedure or have a professional perform it.
- Sensor Communication: A professional diagnostic tool can verify if the sensor is transmitting data and if the vehicle's receiver is detecting it.
- Incorrect Readings:
- Sensor ID Mismatch: Confirm that the correct sensor IDs have been registered with the vehicle's ECU during the relearn process.
- Interference: While designed to minimize electromagnetic interference, ensure no external factors are disrupting the signal.
- Sensor Not Detected:
- Installation Check: Verify the sensor is correctly installed in the wheel.
- Battery Status: Although new, a faulty sensor battery is rare but possible. A diagnostic tool can check battery status.
For persistent issues, it is recommended to consult a certified automotive technician or contact MOBILETRON customer support.
