LAUNCH i-TPMS Handheld TPMS Service Tool

The LAUNCH i-TPMS is a professional handheld TPMS service tool designed for automotive repair shops, tire shops and technicians who need a convenient solution for tire pressure monitoring system service. It supports 315MHz and 433MHz TPMS sensors and is designed to cover more than 99% of mainstream vehicles equipped with TPMS systems, according to LAUNCH.

The i-TPMS can be used in two different ways. It can be paired with a compatible LAUNCH X-431 diagnostic scanner to perform comprehensive TPMS services, or it can be used with the i-TPMS Android application as a standalone handheld TPMS service device.

What Can LAUNCH i-TPMS Do?

When connected with a compatible LAUNCH X-431 diagnostic scanner, the i-TPMS supports:

• TPMS Sensor Activation

• TPMS Sensor Data Reading

• TPMS Sensor Programming

• TPMS Sensor Relearn

• TPMS Diagnosis

• Sensor ID Reading

• Tire Pressure Reading

• Tire Temperature Reading

• Sensor Battery Status Checking

• LAUNCH sensor programming for OE sensor replacement

When used standalone with the i-TPMS App, it supports TPMS sensor activation and programming.

How Does LAUNCH i-TPMS Work?

Step 1: Activate the Sensor

Place the i-TPMS tool near the vehicle's TPMS sensor and activate the sensor using the device. The tool communicates with the sensor using low-frequency signals and receives the sensor information through RF communication.

Step 2: Read Sensor Information

Once the sensor is activated, available sensor information can be displayed, including:

• Sensor ID

• Tire Pressure

• Tire Temperature

• Battery Status

This allows technicians to quickly identify the condition and data of the TPMS sensor.

Step 3: Program a Compatible Sensor

For compatible LAUNCH programmable sensors, the i-TPMS can be used to program sensor data and replace OE TPMS sensors. LAUNCH states that its compatible sensors can be programmed an unlimited number of times.

Step 4: Relearn the Sensor

When paired with a compatible LAUNCH X-431 diagnostic scanner, the system can perform TPMS relearn procedures where supported by the vehicle. The exact relearn procedure depends on the vehicle make, model, year and TPMS system.

Step 5: Diagnose TPMS Problems

When used with a compatible X-431 scanner, the i-TPMS can become part of the vehicle's TPMS diagnostic workflow for identifying tire-pressure-system problems.

Which Sensors Does It Support?

The LAUNCH i-TPMS supports 315MHz and 433MHz TPMS sensors. LAUNCH specifically states that it supports all 315/433MHz sensors within its intended TPMS service system.

It is particularly suitable for programming compatible LAUNCH programmable sensors such as the LAUNCH TSENSOR/LTR sensor family. LAUNCH's programmable sensors use 315MHz/433MHz operation and are designed to replace OE TPMS sensors across a wide range of applications.

Which Diagnostic Devices Can It Work With?

The i-TPMS is designed to work with compatible LAUNCH X-431 diagnostic scanners for expanded TPMS functions. LAUNCH demonstrates the i-TPMS being used with X-431 diagnostic equipment for sensor programming and TPMS service.

Compatible functionality depends on the specific X-431 model and its installed vehicle software. Therefore, the exact TPMS functions available should be confirmed for the particular X-431 scanner and vehicle.

It can also operate with the LAUNCH i-TPMS App as a standalone TPMS service solution for sensor activation and programming.

Which Cars Does It Support?

LAUNCH states that the i-TPMS is designed to serve more than 99% of mainstream vehicles equipped with TPMS systems and supports 315MHz/433MHz sensors.

This makes it suitable for a broad range of European, Asian and American passenger vehicles equipped with compatible TPMS systems. However, TPMS frequency, sensor type, relearn procedure and available functions can vary by make, model, year and market.

For this reason, it is better to verify the exact vehicle application before promising a specific TPMS function.

Typical Vehicle Brands

Depending on the vehicle model, year, market and TPMS system, the tool can be used for TPMS service across many mainstream vehicle brands, including applications from:

Toyota, Lexus, Nissan, Infiniti, Honda, Acura, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Suzuki, Hyundai, Kia, Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac, Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge, Volkswagen, Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar, Peugeot, Citroën, Renault, Fiat, Opel/Vauxhall and other TPMS-equipped vehicles.

Important: This is a general brand-level indication, not a guarantee that every model/year within these brands is supported. Exact vehicle coverage depends on the vehicle's TPMS system and the compatible LAUNCH software/device being used.

• Automotive Diagnostic Technicians

• TPMS Sensor Replacement Services

• Workshops using LAUNCH X-431 diagnostic scanners

Important Compatibility Note

TPMS compatibility is dependent on the vehicle make, model, year, market, TPMS frequency, sensor type and connected LAUNCH diagnostic equipment/software. The i-TPMS is not a replacement for a full vehicle diagnostic scanner. For advanced TPMS functions such as relearn and diagnosis, it should be paired with a compatible LAUNCH X-431 diagnostic tool.

The LAUNCH i-TPMS is therefore an excellent compact solution for technicians who want to add professional TPMS activation, programming and sensor service capabilities to their workshop.
