1. INTRODUCTION

®
The SmarTire
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
by Bendix CVS consists of sensors (mounted using steel
bands onto the rim of the wheels), an antenna, receiver/
Electronic Control Unit (ECU), and dash display unit or
OEM integrated display.
Dash
Antenna
Display
Receiver/ECU
Each tire sensor has a unique ID code and it is
important that the system knows the ID of the sensor
used at each tire location on the vehicle.
The SmarTire Low Frequency (LF) tool is a hand-held
device used to communicate with SmarTire-brand tire
pressure monitoring system sensors.
This document will describe how the tool can be used
to program one or more new sensor ID codes into the
receiver (for example, when replacing a sensor or after
repairs/tire rotation, etc.); and how to check that all IDs
are in the expected locations when conducting a vehicle
inspection. (See BW2799 for information about other
procedures, such as loading a system configuration.)

NOTE: The SmarTire LF tool is compatible ONLY with
SmarTire-brand commercial vehicle tire sensors.
NOTE: For dual-wheel assemblies, it is strongly
recommended that the tire valve stems - where sensors
are typically located - be arranged 180° from each other
to avoid errors when communicating with the sensors.
