What is TPMS?

TPMS, short form of Tire Pressure Monitoring System, is an electronic system to monitor the air pressure inside a tire. Most vehicles after 2006 equipped with TPMS system.

The symbol of TPMS:
Tire-Pressure-Monitoring-System
Types of TPMS:

TPMS can be divided into two types according to the tire pressure monitor ways: direct TPMS (dTPMS) and indirect TPMS (iTPMS).

Direct TPMS monitors the actual air pressure inside each tire via a sensor mounted within the tire. Indirect TPMS measures tire pressure by monitoring the speed and rotation of each individual wheel.

What is the function of TPMS?

TPMS can give an alert when your vehicle’s tire pressure is low or is going flat. It helps to maintain the tire pressure which means it can increase your safety on the road by improving your vehicle’s handling, decreasing tire wear, reducing braking distance and bettering fuel economy.

How to maintenance the TPMS system?

If the vehicle’s TPMS indicator light comes on, there is problem on the TPMS system. You will properly go to the mechanic to diagnose and detect the system

A TPMS diagnostic and service tool is needed when diagnose the TPMS system. Autel MaxiTPMS series (TS401, 502 and 601) TPMS diagnostic and service tool are the most welcomed product among mechanics.

GDS, short for Global Diagnostic System which is the best OEM diagnostic system for Hyundai and Kia vehicle makes. I purchased the GDS VCI diagnostic system with the English version V15 for a couple of days. I own myself a 2014 Hyundai Santa Sport. I have tested the software on my Sony PC running win XP home. It helped cleared an ABS and an airbag error code, coded chassis module, read dynamic data, reset adaption values etc.

When I want to read the cardata via the interface for my car, and then the subscription ended.

Honda interface connects to the PC only on a Com Port (RS232), If you do not have a Com Port, you will need an adapter. Here I recommend High quality Z-TEK USB 1.1 To RS232 convert connector.

Before starting forced regeneration, there is much extra info you need keep in mind:
1.Ensure a PC laptop preferably holding the charge for use to avoid power out during the operation.
2.It takes about 30 minutes to finish the whole procedure. So either you stay in car while time is still on or off with the PC: Not to go back in the car during the regeneration, to avoid possible problems.
3.If you use an adapter Com, verify that the com port is set to COM1 (The interface does not work on another COM port).
4.Check the oil level before and after regeneration. When finish regeneration, the oil level is too high or it stinks diesel will require draining.
5.Disable the energy saving USB, anti-virus, Internet and all that can use PC recourses.

Forced regeneration operation:
1.Make a nice trick with car to make 76 ° stably or at least not too far.
2.Put them in a place where noise motor can interfere people and nothing can come under the car (The DPF rises above 600 ° C).
3.Open the hood
4.Disable all that pump energy (ceiling and more) and especially not fun to reactivate during operation.
5.Connect the HIM to the car and the computer.
6.Start the HDS
7.Turn the ignition II
8.In the HDS, press the “Select a new vehicle” and enter into mileage.

9.Select “System”.
10.Select “Diesel”
xcardiag-honda-hds-him-diagnostic-tool-2
11.Check and delete the DTC menu “DTC- given frozen”. The HDS warns you it is absolutely necessary to remove them before operation and also check the various sensors of the DPF, so if you have a problem with sensors, do not hesitate going any further.
12.Go back to “settings”
xcardiag-honda-hds-him-diagnostic-tool-3
13.Select “DPF Regeneration”
xcardiag-honda-hds-him-diagnostic-tool-4
14.Put the engine running, power on the light and put the air conditioner on.
15.If the engine is not right temperature, the HDS asks to accelerate between 1600 and 2400 trs/min.
16.When the temperature is reached, the HDS take over, release the accelerator.
17.Allow the HDS to regeneration. The engine mounts alone at 3000trs/min during regeneration; it is stagnant at 1500 trs/min. At the end of the regeneration scheme dates back to 3000 trs/min to cool the exhaust line (weird, but it is like here).

18.When the regeneration is completed, leave the HDS, turn off the engine, remove the cable from HIM and go for a ride to make sure the cooling line.
All finished, hope it will benefit you much.

Recently there are some talks about which truck diagnostic system is better for Cummins vehicles, NEXIQ 125032 USB link or INLINE 5 Insite 7.62? Their differences are best displayed as chart below.
NEXIQ super-inline-5-insite
We can draw a conclusion based on the chart that NEXIQ USB link is able to access multi computer modules e.g engine, ABS, SRS etc, while Inline 5 mainly works on engine system.

NEXIQ USB link support more operating system and Inline 5 can only work on win 7 system.

The Inline 5 Pro version V7.62 is without activation, but activation code is needed when using NEXIQ.

Inline 5 projects four basic diagnostic level functions and NEXIQ mainly performs diagnostic function.

For detail vehicle makes, please check NEXIQ 125032 USB Link and INLINE 5 INSITE 7.62 in Xcardiag.com.
