Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
<TPMS>
System Description
The Tiger 800 can be fitted with the accessory tyre
pressure monitoring system <TPMS>.
When fitted the eyre pressures shown on the instrument
panel indicate the actual tyre pressure at the time of
selecting the display. This may differ from the inflation
pressure set when the tyres are cold because tyres
become warmer during riding, causing the air in the tyre
to expand and the pressure to increase. The cold inflation
pressures specified by Triumph take account of this.
In addition, the system has an on-board diagnostic
function. This ensures that, should a malfunction occur in
the immobiliser system, a malfunction code is stored in
the immobiliser/tyre pressure monitoring system <TPMS>
control modules memory. This stored data can then be
recovered using the Triumph diagnostic tool <see page
10-28).
Owners must only adjust tyre pressures when the tyres
are cold using an accurate tyre pressu re gauge and must
not use the tyre pressure display on the instruments.
The tyre pressure monitoring system is not to be used
as a tyre pressure gauge when adjusting the tyre
pressures. For correct tyre pressures, always check the
tyre pressures when the tyres are cold and using an
accurate tyre pressure gauge.
Use of the TPMS system to set inflation pressures may
lead to incorrect tyre pressures leading to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
When fitting the TPMS, the installation flow-chart detailed
in the Triumph diagnostic tool user guide must be
followed.

front and rear wheel. Each sensor has its own
ID
u nique
number and must be recorded in
the spaces provided in the owner's handbook.
These sensors measure the air pressure inside
the tyre and transmit pressure data to the
instruments. These sensors will not transmit the
data until the motorcycle is travelling at a speed
greater than 12 mph (20 km/h). Two dashes will
be visible in the display area until the tyre
pressure signal is received.
The wheel sensor is a sealed unit and must not
be opened. The battery inside the sensor is not
replaceable and a new sensor must be fitted
when the battery voltage becomes too low.
Compliance
This device complies with part 1 5 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
This device may not cause harmful interference;
This device must accept a ny interference
received, including interference that may cause
u ndesired operation.
Changes or modifications to the device could void the
user's a uthority to operate the equipment.
Diagnostics
When a fault condition with the TPMS is detected, the red
warning light in the instrument pack will illuminate and
the tyre symbol will flash repeatedly.
The red warning light and flashing symbol will also occur
if the TPMS has been enabled in the instrument pack but
not in the immobiliser/TPMS control module. Before
proceeding to the diag nostics, check that the motorcycle
has wheel sensors fitted and that the option for the TPMS
has been enabled in the immobiliser/TPM S control
modu le.
