Frequently asked questions
Q1: What can I do with a Launch TPMS diagnostic tool?
Launch TPMS tools allow you to activate 315MHz and 433MHz TPMS sensors, diagnose TPMS fault codes, program Launch RF-Sensors, and perform TPMS sensor relearn procedures (OBD, Auto, or Manual).
Q2: Can Launch TPMS tools program OEM or other third-party sensors?
Launch TPMS tools can read and activate almost all OEM and aftermarket TPMS sensors. However, sensor programming is specifically optimized for programmable Launch RF-Sensors.
Q3: What is the difference between sensor relearn and sensor programming?
Programming creates a new sensor ID and writes vehicle data into a blank Launch RF-Sensor. Relearning teaches the vehicle's ECU to recognize the new sensor ID after installation or tire rotation.
Q4: Do Launch TPMS tools support OBD2 relearn procedures?
Yes, many of our standalone TPMS handhelds and X431 add-on modules (like the TSGUN) feature OBD2 connection capabilities for quick OBD relearn on vehicles without auto-relearn options.
Q5: Are frequent updates required for TPMS tools?
Regular updates ensure your TPMS tool has the latest relearn procedures and sensor coverage for brand-new vehicle models. Software updates are downloaded via Wi-Fi or PC tool.
