ATEQ TPMS Reset Procedure
NOTE:
If the TPMS receiver or transmitter is replaced, the tire pressure sensors must be registered.
When the TPMS warning indicator illuminates, immediately check and adjust tire pressure of all tires. If the TPMS warning indicator remains illuminated, one or more of the tires may be punctured or there is a problem with the TPMS transmitter.
NOTE:
Regardless of temperature conditions, the tire pressure should be set to 32 psi (220 kPa).
NOTE:
If the TPMS warning indicator flashes for one minute, then remain solid, there is a problem in the TPMS. See appropriate manufacturer service information.
NOTE:
The TPMS warning indicator will flash for one minute, then remain solid, when the one of the road tires is not equipped with a TPMS transmitter.
NOTE:
Under the following conditions, the system may not function properly:
- A wireless facility or device using the same frequency with the tire pressure sensor is near vehicle.
- Snow or ice is stuck inside the wheel housings and/or on the wheels.
- The TPMS transmitter's battery is discharged (10-year/100,000 mile life span).
- Wheels other than Mitsubishi genuine wheels are being used.
- Wheels that are not fitted with TPMS transmitter are being used.
- Wheels whose tire pressure sensor IDs are not registered by the vehicle are being used.
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to TPMS3 tool, always turn ignition switch to OFF position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool.
- Turn ignition switch to OFF position.
- Set the tire pressure of all wheels to pressure specified on the tire and loading information label.
- Select "Reset TPM System" on the TPMS3.
- Hold the TPMS3 against the side wall of the tire, within 3 inches of the valve stem. See Fig 1. Press TEST button on the TPMS3 and read each of the sensor IDs in the following order: left front, right front, left rear, and then right rear.
- Connect the TPMS3 OBDII module to the Data Link Connector (DLC) located under the driver's side of the instrument panel.
- Turn ignition switch to ON position. Do not start engine.
- When screen prompts to "CONNECT OBDII MODULE", press "Y" button on the TPMS3 to transmit sensor IDs.
- Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Disconnect the TPMS3 from DLC.
- Ensure the TPMS warning indicator does not illuminate or flash.NOTE: If the TPMS warning indicator is illuminated, drive the vehicle for 5 minutes and check the TPMS warning indicator. If the TPMS warning indicator is still illuminated, repeat registration.
Spare Tire TPMS Sensor
On models with a full-sized spare tire, equipped with a TPMS sensor, if the tire is to be re-mounted on a rear hatch carrier, always reposition the valve as shown in Fig 2. If valve is not positioned as shown, the system may determine incorrectly that the spare tire is being used as a road tire.
