- Adjustable Valve: The valve can be adjusted to fit various wheel types (0 to 40 degrees).
- Long Battery Life: The TPMS unit is designed for extended battery life.
4. Setup and Installation
The Mobiletron TX-BT001 TPMS sensor is designed for straightforward installation. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified technician to ensure proper fitment and function.
4.1 Installation Steps
- Prepare the Wheel: Ensure the tire is deflated and removed from the wheel.
- Remove Old Sensor (if applicable): Carefully remove the existing TPMS sensor from the wheel.
- Install New Sensor: Insert the TX-BT001 sensor into the valve stem hole from the inside of the wheel. Ensure the sensor body is correctly oriented and secured with the provided nut.
- Adjust Valve Angle: If necessary, adjust the angle of the valve stem to fit the wheel's contour (adjustable from 0 to 40 degrees).
- Mount Tire: Mount the tire back onto the wheel, taking care not to damage the sensor.
- Inflate Tire: Inflate the tire to the manufacturer's recommended pressure.
- Vehicle Learning Process: Once installed and the tire is inflated, the sensor is pre-programmed to automatically learn and transmit tire pressure data to your vehicle's TPMS system. Drive the vehicle as per your car manufacturer's instructions for TPMS relearn procedure, if any.
Important: Always refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for specific TPMS relearn procedures.

5. Operation
The TX-BT001 sensor operates automatically once correctly installed and the vehicle's TPMS system has completed its learning process. It continuously monitors tire pressure and transmits this data wirelessly to your vehicle's onboard system. Any significant drop in tire pressure will trigger a warning on your vehicle's dashboard, alerting you to a potential issue.
No user interaction is required for the sensor's daily operation beyond ensuring proper installation and tire inflation.
6. Maintenance
- Battery Life: The sensor unit features a long-life battery. When the battery eventually depletes, the entire sensor unit typically requires replacement. There are no user-replaceable parts or batteries.
- Valve Stem Care: Periodically inspect the valve stem for any signs of damage or corrosion. Ensure the valve cap is securely fastened to prevent dirt and moisture ingress.
- Tire Rotations: When performing tire rotations, it is generally not necessary to replace the TPMS sensors unless they are damaged or at the end of their service life. However, a TPMS relearn procedure might be required by your vehicle.
7. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your TPMS system after installing the TX-BT001 sensors, consider the following:
- TPMS Warning Light On:
- Check all tire pressures manually with a reliable gauge to ensure they match the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations.
- Verify that the vehicle's TPMS relearn procedure (if any) has been correctly followed.
- Ensure the sensors are correctly installed and not damaged.
- Incorrect Pressure Readings:
- Confirm tire pressures with a calibrated gauge.
- Ensure the sensor is compatible with your vehicle model and year.
For persistent issues or complex diagnostics, it is highly recommended to consult a professional automotive technician or your vehicle's service center.
