LAUNCH Creader TPMS 5011 V2 supports functions such as tire pressure sensor matching and programming. Some new users may encounter situations where the LAUNCH TPMS 5011 V2 cannot read sensor data when testing or programming tire pressure sensors. This is usually caused by incorrect positioning or angle between the tool and the sensor. Let’s first look at the correct operating method.
How to correctly use the LAUNCH Creader TPMS 5011 V2 to match tire pressure sensors?
First, keep the LAUNCH TPMS 5011 V2 tool horizontal and directly facing the tire pressure sensor, maintaining a distance of approximately 10 cm between them. When performing this step, ensure that other tire pressure sensors are at least 100 cm away from the LAUNCH TPMS 5011 V2.
Then, click the “Detect” button and wait. You will see the sensor data clearly on the screen.
If you follow the steps above, the testing process will usually go smoothly.
Following these steps should usually ensure a smooth testing process. However, if testing still fails, the problem is typically caused by the way the tool is positioned. Let’s look at some common mistakes.
If you hold the sensor incorrectly and it is not horizontally aligned with the TPMS tool, or if the sensor is too far from the TPMS tool, the TPMS tool may fail to detect the sensor signal. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that the sensor is held at the correct distance and aligned correctly.
The above steps apply to detecting, activating, or programming a new tire pressure sensor. If the sensor is still not detected, consider whether the LAUNCH Creader 5011 V2 or the tire pressure sensor itself is damaged.
