What are the benefits of the ThinkTPMS S1 model in daily work?

Before replacing a faulty sensor, the existing sensor ID, frequency, and wheel position are recorded. For this sensor, the frequency and vehicle registration are selected on a compatible TPMS device before the sensor is installed in the tire. A compatible TPMS programming device is required to write a new sensor ID to this sensor.

The written ID is verified on the device screen; the programming process is kept separate from physical installation. This sensor takes on the task of transmitting pressure information to the TPMS receiver when installed in the correct wheel position and relearned on the vehicle. The sensor alone does not perform programming, OBD connection, or vehicle relearn.

After the sensor is programmed and installed in the tire, the ID, frequency, and wheel position are written to the service record. The relearn procedure on the vehicle is completed; tire pressure and the warning light are checked separately.

The correct vehicle and sensor family are selected on a compatible TPMS programming device. The new ID is written to the S1 sensor, and the programming result is verified on the device screen. Old and new IDs are stored together in the service record.

Physical installation is not started before sensor programming is completed.

  • Record old sensor ID and frequency
  • Select the correct sensor family
  • Write the new ID to the S1 sensor
  • Verify programming result

Product details

Installing the sensor in the correct wheel position with the ThinkTPMS S1 model

During the installation of the ThinkTPMS S1 model, the tire is safely deflated, and the old sensor is removed. The valve seat, sensor body, and connecting parts are inspected for physical damage. The programmed S1 sensor is installed in the correct wheel position according to the manufacturer's part order and torque specification. After the tire is reinflated, leak and balance checks are performed.

The installation result is recorded along with the sensor ID and wheel position.

  • Safely deflate the tire
  • Check valve and sensor parts
  • Install the sensor in the correct wheel position
  • Perform leak and balance check

Product details

Completing the vehicle relearn procedure with the ThinkTPMS S1 model

After the ThinkTPMS S1 model is installed, the vehicle manufacturer's TPMS relearn procedure is followed. The process is completed using a compatible service device, OBD connection, or a driving step as specified in the vehicle procedure. The sensor ID and pressure value for each wheel are read again. The status of the TPMS warning light is checked.

The result is added to the service report along with programming and physical installation records.

  • Select relearn method for the vehicle
  • Complete relearn
  • Read data for each wheel
  • Check TPMS warning light

How to verify ThinkTPMS S1 model vehicle coverage?

Definitive compatibility for the ThinkTPMS S1 model cannot be stated without selecting the vehicle model, TPMS sensor type, frequency, and relearn method together. The Thinkcar official coverage tool shows which systems, service functions, or protocols are activated for the selected vehicle and control unit for the ThinkTPMS S1 model.

The appearance of a make line does not prove that active testing, coding, programming, TPMS relearn, or gateway access is also enabled on the ThinkTPMS S1 model.

Before ordering, prepare the VIN or complete model information, model year, engine/chassis distinction, and the intended operation for the ThinkTPMS S1 model; also check the software version, license duration, VCI, adapter, and regional package.

  • ThinkTPMS S1 model: prepare make, model, model year, and engine/chassis information
  • ThinkTPMS S1 model: select desired system and operation separately; read, live data, active test, coding, or programming
  • ThinkTPMS S1 model: verify ECU and function line in the official coverage tool
  • ThinkTPMS S1 model: check VCI, cable, adapter, license, and regional package requirements
  • ThinkTPMS S1 model: perform final check with VIN and manufacturer procedure before definitive operation
