4. Operating Instructions

This section details the primary functions of the OTOFIX TireGo 608.

4.1 TPMS Sensor Activation

This function allows you to activate TPMS sensors and read their data.

1. From the main menu, select the 'Activate' option.
2. Position the tool near the tire valve stem.
3. Press the activation button on the tool. The tool will display sensor ID, tire pressure, temperature, battery status, and frequency.
4. Repeat for all vehicle tires.

4.2 MX-Sensor Programming

The TireGo 608 supports three methods for programming OTOFIX MX-Sensors:

• Auto Create (1-16): This method automatically generates new sensor IDs and programs them into up to 16 MX-Sensors simultaneously.
• Copy by Activation: This method copies the ID from an existing, activated sensor (e.g., a faulty sensor) directly to a new MX-Sensor.
• Manual Create: This method allows you to manually input an existing sensor's ID into a new MX-Sensor.

Note: Only OTOFIX MX-Sensors can be programmed with this tool.

4.3 TPMS Relearn Procedures

After replacing or programming TPMS sensors, a relearn procedure is necessary to link the new sensor IDs to the vehicle's Engine Control Unit (ECU). The TireGo 608 provides two methods:

• Automatic Relearn: For vehicles equipped with an automatic sensor relearn system. The tool will guide you through the vehicle-specific steps.
• Stationary Relearn: For vehicles that require a stationary relearn procedure. The tool will provide instructions on how to enter the vehicle's stationary relearn mode.

Follow the on-screen instructions carefully for successful relearning.

4.4 Key Fob Test

To test a key fob, select the 'Key Fob Test' option from the main menu and follow the on-screen prompts to check its signal strength and functionality.
