Coming Your Way: The TPMS Sensor Tool

NOTE: This article applies to ’07 Elements and

’07 Odysseys (all except Touring models). These

models come with a new, simplified type of TPMS.

Each Honda dealership is going to be sent a new

required special tool: the TPMS Sensor Tool

(T/N AKS062006). You need this tool to help you

troubleshoot the TPMS and to do tire pressure

sensor ID memorization.

Background

Unlike earlier systems, this TPMS doesn’t use

initiators to wake up the tire pressure sensors.

Instead, each sensor has a built-in acceleration

sensor. When the vehicle reaches a certain speed,

the tire pressure sensors wake up. When the

vehicle is stationary for 5 minutes or more, the

sensors automatically go to sleep. To troubleshoot

the TPMS or to do sensor ID memorization, you

need this TPMS sensor tool to wake up the tire

pressure sensors.

Tool D e scr i p t ion

Revised 10/4/06

The TPMS sensor tool comes neatly packed as a

kit in a foam-lined, high-impact, black plastic

carrying case for easy transport and storage.

Here’s what you get in the kit:

• TPMS sensor tool

• Rechargeable nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH)

1.2 volt AA batteries (10 total)

• AC power adapter (for TPMS sensor tool)

• Battery charger

• AC power adapter (for battery charger)

• USB cable (15 foot)

The TPMS sensor tool can run either on the 10

rechargeable batteries or with the AC power

adapter. The front of the tool has a power button

and a transmit button. The power button lights

green when you push and release it; the transmit

button lights red when you push and hold it.

The right side of the tool has a signal strength

switch that lets you select either a high-strength

(70 Db) signal or a low-strength (60 Db) signal.

Slide the switch up for high; slide it down for low.

Next to that switch, there’s an outlet for the AC

power adapter. Next to the outlet, there’s a port

for the USB cable.

The battery charger is a “smart” type (it’s

computer-controlled). It has an open tray that

holds the 10 rechargeable batteries. An LED above

each battery slot tells you the charge status. When

you push the red button on top of the battery

charger, the LED blinks red to tell you the battery

charger is in its discharge mode. The battery

charger completely discharges the battery before

it begins the charging process to keep the battery

from developing a memory. The LED lights solid

red when the battery is fully discharged and the

charging process begins. The LED lights green

when the battery reaches its full charge.

The USB cable connects the TPMS sensor tool to

the HDS or to a PC. It’s for future use.

Tool Tips

The TPMS sensor tool is actually quite simple to

use. Here are some handy tips:

• Make sure the HDS is connected to the 16P

DLC and it’s loaded with version 2.005.008 or

later software. This tool doesn’t work without

the HDS or this software.

• Press and release the power button to turn on

the tool; press and hold the button to shut it

off. To save battery power, this tool shuts itself

off after 3 minutes of idle time.

• For best results, make sure the signal strength

switch is always set to the low (down)

position.
