2. Important Considerations Before Installation
Before proceeding with installation, it is crucial to verify several factors to ensure proper function and compatibility. TPMS sensor installation is not a do-it-yourself (DIY) task and requires specific knowledge, skills, and equipment. Professional installation is highly recommended.

Self-Checking List:
- Radio Frequency: Confirm your vehicle's required TPMS radio frequency (315MHz or 433MHz). A TPMS scanner can verify this, or a local tire shop can assist.
- Vehicle Compatibility: Double-check your vehicle's make, model, and year. Using your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) can help look up accurate vehicle information.
- TPMS Servicing Tool: Ensure you have access to a TPMS servicing tool capable of performing a sensor relearn procedure. Vehicles often require a properly formatted and updated TPMS servicing tool to register and pair new sensors.
Important Advisories:
- Pre-programmed ≠ Auto Relearn: While these sensors are pre-programmed, they are not necessarily 'auto-relearn'. Most vehicles will still require a relearn procedure using a TPMS tool.
- Professional Installation: TPMS sensor installation and pairing demand a certain level of knowledge, skill, and specialized equipment. It is strongly advised to have these sensors installed by a qualified professional.
- Tool Compatibility: Do NOT attempt to install sensors if your TPMS tool fails to read them prior to installation. This indicates a potential incompatibility or issue that needs to be resolved first.
3. Installation Guide
The MORESENSOR Compact PRO Series TPMS sensors are designed as direct OE replacements and come pre-programmed for specified vehicles. However, proper installation and vehicle relearn procedures are critical for correct operation.
General Installation Steps (Professional Service 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 Compact PRO Series sensor into the valve stem opening, ensuring it is securely mounted according to manufacturer specifications.
- Tire Mounting and Inflation: Mount the tire back onto the wheel and inflate to the recommended pressure.
- Sensor Relearn Procedure: Perform the vehicle-specific TPMS relearn procedure using a compatible TPMS diagnostic tool. This step is essential for the vehicle's ECU to recognize the new sensor IDs and display accurate tire pressure readings.
Failure to follow proper installation and relearn procedures may result in incorrect readings or TPMS warning lights remaining illuminated.
4. Operation
Once correctly installed and paired with your vehicle's TPMS system, the MORESENSOR Compact PRO Series sensor will automatically begin monitoring the pressure and temperature of your tires. This data is transmitted wirelessly to your vehicle's onboard computer, which then displays the information on your dashboard or alerts you to any significant pressure drops.
- The sensor operates continuously while the vehicle is in motion.
- Regularly check your vehicle's dashboard for tire pressure readings and any TPMS warning indicators.
- Maintain proper tire inflation as recommended by your vehicle manufacturer for optimal safety and fuel efficiency.
5. Maintenance
The MORESENSOR Compact PRO Series TPMS sensor is designed for long-term reliability with minimal maintenance requirements.
- Battery Life: The internal battery is designed to last 8-10 years under typical driving conditions. When the battery depletes, the entire sensor unit must be replaced.
- Reprogrammability: These sensors can be programmed, reprogrammed, or modified using MOBILETRON and ATEQ branded TPMS programmers (e.g., PT46, PT47, VT56). This feature allows for flexibility in vehicle application and future adjustments if needed.
- Valve Stem: The sensor features an all-weather rubber valve stem that is anodized to resist rust and corrosion. Periodically inspect the valve stem for any signs of damage or wear.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your TPMS system after sensor installation, consider the following troubleshooting points:
- TPMS Warning Light: If the TPMS warning light remains on after installation, ensure that a proper relearn procedure has been performed using a compatible TPMS tool.
- Sensor Not Detected: Refer to the "Important Considerations Before Installation" section (Section 2) to re-verify vehicle compatibility, correct frequency, and that your TPMS tool can read the sensor. Do not install sensors if your tool cannot read them.
- Incorrect Readings: Verify that tires are inflated to the correct pressure. If readings are still inaccurate, the sensor may require re-programming or professional diagnosis.
- Professional Diagnosis: For persistent issues, it is recommended to consult a certified automotive technician or a tire specialist. They possess the necessary diagnostic tools and expertise to identify and resolve complex TPMS problems.
