TPMS monitors the air pressure of the vehicle’s tyres and reports this information in real time to the driver. It is designed to alert the driver to check tyre pressure by signalling a low-pressure light. Some advanced systems can even display individual tyre pressures on the vehicle dashboard. TPMS is one of the most critical parts of a vehicle’s safety system.
TPMS checks were added to the MOT test checklist in January 2015, and it can now be an instant MOT failure if the TPMS warning light stays on to indicate a fault or problem with the TPMS sensors. Since November 2014, regulations state that cars sold in the European Union must be fitted with a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) as standard equipment. These regulations require all new passenger vehicles to be equipped with TPMS sensors as standard equipment. These sensors detect when the tyre pressure drops below a certain level and alerts the driver with a warning light on the dashboard. Regulations also require that TPMS sensors must be functional and work at all times. Due to this, this legislation aims to reduce the risk of accidents caused by overinflated tyres. It also aims to reduce carbon emissions and improve fuel economy.
The Relearn procedure can be found in the vehicle manual/handbook. The Relearn procedure refers to the process of pairing a new TPMS sensor to the vehicle’s tyre pressure monitoring system. A TPMS relearn is always required when a new TPMS sensor or sensors are installed or rotated.
There are 3 types of relearn available. Each vehicle will have a combination of one/two relearn procedures.
Auto Relearn – This requires the vehicle to be driven for a certain amount of time at a specified constant minimum speed.
Stationary Relearn – This requires a specific sequence set by the vehicle manufacturer which may include pressing a series of buttons (such as, on the steering wheel, on the dashboard etc), holding the brake and many other actions or combinations.
OBD Relearn – This requires you to connect the vehicle via the OBDII port to a TPMS diagnostic tool. Following the instruction using the TPMS diagnostic tool, the vehicle can be placed in the relearn state to complete the relearn procedure. In addition, you can use the TPMS scan tool to read the TPMS sensor/s to acquire the ID codes.
Yes, you need a TPMS diagnostic/programming tool that is compatible to program MOREsensor. We recommend our PT47.
There are several good reasons to buy from us as we offer a quality product, free technical support and much more.
The MOREsensor BLE sensor come pre-programmed ready to fit and does not require any further programming. remember to undertake the vehicle auto relearn procedure.
Tesla model 3 & Y after Oct 2020 and Models X & S after 2021 use BLE TPMS sensors instead of the more conventional RF/LF TPMS sensors. This means they require a programming tool which is compatible with BLE TPMS. The ATEQ VT67 is BLE TPMS sensor compatible.
The MOREsensor BLE sensor is compatible with all Tesla models after 2021. These include: Model S (JUN 2021->), Model 3 (OCT 2020->), Model X (OCT 2021->) and Model Y (OCT 2020->).
Yes, the Mobiletron BLE TPMS sensor has an adjustable valve angle between 0 – 40 degrees.
