3. Operating Instructions
3.1 TPMS Status Check
This function allows for a quick check of the TPMS system status. It can verify sensor health and identify any immediate issues.
3.2 Sensor Activation
The TireGO 808 can activate all universal and OE TPMS sensors operating at 315 MHz and 433 MHz. This process reads sensor IDs, tire pressure, tire temperature, battery status, and sensor position without dismounting the tire.
- Select the "Activate Sensor" option from the main menu.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to position the tool near each tire's sensor.
- The tool will display sensor information upon successful activation.

3.3 MX-Sensor Programming
This tool is designed to program OTOFIX MX-Sensors. It offers four programming methods:
- Copy by Activation: Copies the ID from an activated original sensor.
- Copy by Manual Input: Allows manual entry of the original sensor ID.
- Auto Create: Generates new, unique IDs for up to 16 MX-Sensors simultaneously.
- Copy by OBD: Copies sensor IDs directly from the vehicle's ECU via the OBD-II port, eliminating the need for relearn procedures.
Note: This function is exclusively for OTOFIX MX-Sensors.

3.4 Sensor Relearn
After replacing TPMS sensors or rotating tires, a relearn procedure is necessary to link the new sensor IDs to the vehicle's ECU. The TireGO 808 supports three relearn methods for most known sensors:
- OBD Relearn: Connects to the vehicle's OBD-II port to write new sensor IDs directly to the ECU.
- Automatic Relearn: Guides the user through a driving procedure to allow the vehicle to automatically learn new sensor IDs.
- Stationary Relearn: Requires the vehicle to be in a specific mode (often activated via the tool) to learn new sensor IDs while stationary.

3.5 TPMS Diagnostics
Perform a comprehensive health check of the entire TPMS system. This function allows you to:
- Scan the TPMS system for issues.
- Read Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) related to TPMS.
- Clear TPMS DTCs to resolve warning lights.
- Save the last test history for record-keeping.

3.6 Quick Mode and Advanced Mode
The TireGO 808 features two operational modes to suit different user needs:
- Quick Mode: Provides intelligent guided operations for routine tasks such as activating and relearning all TPMS sensors, reading sensor ID, tire pressure, temperature, and battery level, and auto-creating 1-16 sensors. This mode streamlines common TPMS procedures.
- Advanced Mode: Designed for more complex TPMS repairs, offering deeper functionalities including full TPMS diagnostics, TPMS reset, reading/clearing TPMS DTCs, sensor position relearn, and advanced auto-create and copy by OBD options.

3.7 Additional Features
- Key Fob Test: Checks key frequency and battery electricity.
- TPMS ECU Unlock: Specific function for Toyota & Lexus vehicles to restart OBD relearn.
- Sensor Data Printing: Allows printing of sensor data via PC connection.
- History Test Record: Maintains a record of past diagnostic and programming sessions.
