4. Operating Instructions

4.1 TPMS Service Functions

The TP300 offers comprehensive TPMS capabilities for 315MHz and 433MHz sensors.

4.1.1 TPMS Sensor Activation

This function allows you to wirelessly activate almost all OEM and universal TPMS sensors to read their data.

1. From the main menu, select TPMS.
2. Choose Activate Sensor.
3. Select the vehicle make, model, and year.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to position the tool near each tire's sensor to activate it. The tool will display sensor ID, pressure, temperature, battery status, and frequency.

4.1.2 TPMS Sensor Programming

The TP300 can program XTOOL TS100 sensors using four methods:

1. Auto ID Generation: Creates a new, unique sensor ID.
2. Manual ID Entry: Allows you to input an existing sensor ID.
3. Copy ID via Activation: Reads the ID from an existing sensor and programs it to a new sensor.
4. Copy ID via OBD: Retrieves sensor IDs from the vehicle's ECU via the OBD port and programs them to new sensors.

This image illustrates the four different methods available on the XTOOL TP300 for programming TPMS sensors: Auto ID Generation, Manual ID Entry, Copy ID via Activation, and Copy ID via OBD.

4.1.3 TPMS Relearn

After replacing sensors or rotating tires, the vehicle's ECU needs to relearn the new sensor IDs and positions. The TP300 supports four relearn methods:

• Automatic Relearn: The vehicle learns new sensor IDs during a drive cycle.
• OBD Relearn: Sensor IDs are written directly to the vehicle's ECU via the OBD port.
• Stationary Relearn: Requires the vehicle to be in a specific mode (e.g., parking brake engaged) and often involves activating sensors in a specific order.
• Copy Sensors Relearn: Copies existing sensor IDs to new sensors, eliminating the need for a relearn procedure if the IDs match the ECU's stored data.

This image displays the four relearn methods supported by the XTOOL TP300: OBD Relearn, Manual Relearn, Auto Relearn, and Copy Sensors, ensuring broad compatibility for TPMS system resets.

4.1.4 TPMS Diagnostics

This function allows you to read and clear TPMS Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), check the health of the TPMS system, and turn off the TPMS warning light.

4.2 System Diagnostics

The TP300 can diagnose four main vehicle systems: Engine, ABS, SRS, and Transmission.

1. Connect the VCI to the vehicle's OBD2 port.
2. From the main menu, select Diagnosis.
3. The tool will automatically identify the vehicle via Auto VIN or prompt for manual selection.
4. Select the system you wish to diagnose (e.g., Engine, ABS).
5. You can then choose to Read Fault Codes, Clear Fault Codes, or view Live Data Stream.

4.3 Service Functions (Resets)

The TP300 supports over 8 common service functions:

• Oil Reset: Resets the oil life reminder.
• ABS Bleeding: Bleeds air from the brake system.
• EPB Reset: Resets the electronic parking brake after pad replacement.
• Throttle Body Relearn: Relearns the throttle valve position.
• SAS Calibration: Calibrates the steering angle sensor.
• Tire Size Reset: Adjusts vehicle parameters after changing tire size.
• DPF Regeneration: Initiates diesel particulate filter regeneration.
• GPF Regeneration: Initiates gasoline particulate filter regeneration.
