The system can be checked, using the diagnostic tool, by activating a read off at the same time as activating the sensors using a special tool. The special tool is positioned against the tire where the sensor is located at the same time as the button on the special tool is depressed. The special tool then transmits a signal that activates the sensor so that it starts to send signals to the Upper electronic module (UEM).

After activating a sensor, press the "Show data" button for the relevant wheel. Then repeat the activation procedure for all wheels. Different ID numbers should appear. If the same ID number as the previous wheel appears, the activation has failed. Perform the activation again for the relevant wheel and press the "Show data" button again.

• Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.

• The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.

• You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.

• You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
