  • Page 2 The BIM-22-3 should be installed in a location where its display and switch are accessible in the event a new TPMS sensor needs to be installed in the system (see BIM Learn Sensors Mode). In situations where TPMS reception is not adequate inside the interior of the vehicle, the weatherproof TPMS Receiver Module can be mounted outside on the chassis near the center of the vehicle for better reception of the RF transmission signals from the TPMS sensors.

    Special Operating Modes: The BIM-22-3 has special operating modes that can be used for configuration or for reporting information on its display for trouble-shooting purposes. Note: Display Pressures Mode and Display Battery Status Mode will not function correctly until the sensors are in service mode. See Understanding the Different Sensor Modes - Page 2 for information on how to get the sensors into service mode.

    BIM Locate Sensors Mode: Locating sensor positions on the vehicle can be done via a Dakota Digital instrument system or it can be done on the BIM-22-3 before the instruments are installed. The procedure below explains how to do this using the BIM-22-3. The sensors are shipped marked with colors indicating which tire on the vehicle they are to be mounted (LF = Red, RF = Green, LR = Blue, and RR = Yellow).
