4. Setup
4.1. Initial Device Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove the TP150 tool and accessories from the packaging.
- Power On: Press the power button to turn on the device.
- Software Update: It is highly recommended to update the device software to the latest version before first use.

4.2. Connecting to Vehicle
- Locate the vehicle's OBDII port, typically under the dashboard on the driver's side.
- Ensure the vehicle's ignition is in the OFF position.
- Connect the OBDII cable from the TP150 tool to the vehicle's OBDII port.
- Turn the vehicle's ignition to the ON position (engine off). The TP150 will power on automatically via the OBDII connection.
5. Operating Instructions
The TP150 offers various functions accessible from the main menu. Navigate using the directional buttons and confirm selections with the OK button.
5.1. Activating TPMS Sensors
- From the main menu, select "TPMS" or "Activate".
- Choose the vehicle make, model, and year.
- Select "Activate Sensor".
- Hold the TP150 tool near each tire's valve stem and press the activation button.
- The tool will display sensor information (ID, pressure, temperature, voltage) upon successful activation.
5.2. TPMS Relearn Procedures
Relearning is required when new sensors are installed, tires are rotated, or the ECU is replaced.
- From the main menu, select "TPMS", then "Relearn".
- Select the vehicle make, model, and year.
- Choose the appropriate relearn method:
- OBD Relearn: Connect the TP150 to the vehicle's OBDII port. Follow on-screen instructions to transfer new sensor IDs to the vehicle's ECU.
- Static Relearn: Follow the specific vehicle manufacturer's procedure, often involving a sequence of actions (e.g., turning ignition on/off, pressing brake pedal). The TP150 will guide you through the process.
- Confirm successful relearn on the device screen and check the vehicle's dashboard for the TPMS warning light status.
5.3. Programming XTOOL Sensors
The TP150 can program XTOOL 315/433MHz sensors only. This is useful for replacing faulty sensors.
- From the main menu, select "TPMS", then "Program Sensor".
- Place the XTOOL sensor to be programmed near the TP150's antenna.
- Choose one of the following programming methods:
- Automatic ID Generation: The tool generates a new, unique sensor ID.
- Enter ID Manually: Input a specific sensor ID if known.
- Copy ID by Activating: Activate an existing sensor to copy its ID to the new XTOOL sensor.
- Read ECU Copy ID: Read sensor IDs directly from the vehicle's ECU via the OBDII port and copy them to new XTOOL sensors.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the programming.
5.4. Diagnosing TPMS System
- Connect the TP150 to the vehicle's OBDII port.
- From the main menu, select "TPMS", then "Diagnose".
- The tool will scan the TPMS system for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
- Review the displayed DTCs to identify system faults.
- After repairs, select "Clear DTCs" to erase the codes and reset the TPMS warning light.
6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the device with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: Store the TP150 in its protective case in a dry, cool environment when not in use.
- Software Updates: Regularly check for and install software updates to ensure optimal performance and compatibility with new vehicle models and sensors.
- Battery Care: If the device has an internal battery, avoid fully discharging it for extended periods. Charge it periodically if stored for a long time.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not power on. | No power from OBDII port; faulty cable; device issue. | Check OBDII connection; try on another vehicle; ensure vehicle ignition is ON. |
| Cannot activate sensor. | Sensor out of range; sensor faulty/dead battery; incorrect vehicle selection; outdated software. | Ensure tool is close to valve stem; check sensor condition; verify vehicle details; update software. |
| Relearn fails. | Incorrect relearn procedure; vehicle specific issues; outdated software. | Follow on-screen instructions precisely; ensure all sensors are activated; update software. |
| Cannot program non-XTOOL sensors. | The TP150 only programs XTOOL brand sensors. | This is expected behavior. Use XTOOL sensors for programming. |
