TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

  • Label all of your sensors with the provided stickers first so you will know which sensor goes in which tire position.
  • If a sensor is not allowing air to pass through it, or if the sensor is not reading, or reading a lower pressure, try unscrewing the valve core in the valve stem slowly until you hear air leaking a little. Stop unscrewing the core and screw it back in slightly, just enough to stop the air leak. This will allow more air to get to and through the sensor.

    Do not stand in front of the valve stem when performing this procedure with a valve core tool!
  • It may take up to 15 minutes for the sensor data to appear on the display the first time you set up the system. Leave the display on until all sensor data appears. After the sensor data is received the first time, subsequent system use should only take minutes to acquire the sensor information.
  • Do not over tighten the sensors on the valve stems. Make sure they are snug and be sure to tighten the hex lock nut to the bottom of the sensor.
  • When done programming the Parameters into the display, remember to quickly press to save the Parameters. Press twice to go back to the Main Screen.
  • If your tire pressure is under 100 PSI, you will have to program the Low- Pressure alarm first and then program the High-Pressure alarm. The high pressure cannot go lower than the low-pressure setting, which defaults to 100 PSI.
  • When the display is on and reading, you can press or to quickly scroll through the tires on your display. The automatic scrolling function will resume after 10 seconds when no buttons are pressed.
  • If your display is plugged into a constant power source, the sliding power switch on the side will not function. To turn the display off, unplug the power supply and the switch will now operate.
  • To extend the life of the sensor battery, remove the sensor from the valve stem when parked for an extended period of time. The internal pressure switch will shut the battery off. Note that, even though the battery is off, it will still degrade with time.
  • If your sensor is not transmitting data to the display, try recoding the sensor to the same tire position. See Automatic Code Learning (Option #1).

COMMON QUESTIONS

What do I do if my sensor is not reading?

  1. Unscrew the sensor off the valve stem (just past the point where it leaks air), count quickly to 10 and then reinstall it. The sensors are pressure sensitive and will reset once reinstalled.
  2. Replace the battery in the sensor. It is recommended that you check the voltage of the new battery before installation. It should read 3 volts or greater when new.
  3. If it still does not read, try placing a working sensor from another tire on that valve stem. Keep in mind, the sensor you just moved will continue to read in its original tire position on the display. If that sensor does not read normally, you may have a valve stem problem. Try unscrewing the valve core as described above in the Troubleshooting Tips section. If the switched sensor reads normally, it may be a sensor issue. Call 770-889-9102 or go to the TST website at www.TSTtruck.com for more troubleshooting help.
  4. If your sensor is not transmitting data to the display, try recoding the sensor to the same tire position. See Automatic Code Learning (Option #1).

Why does my display sometimes "drop" sensor data from a tire position?

  1. Ensure that the included repeater/signal booster is properly installed.
  2. Be aware that an indoor/outdoor thermometer with an external temperature sensor may interfere with the TST TPMS. Temporarily remove all the batteries in the temperature display AND exterior temperature sensor and see if the problem is corrected. A thermometer with a higher frequency (915 MHZ) may be required. Atomic Clocks and Weather Stations can also cause interference and you may need to remove batteries from these devices as well.

Why does my display sometimes alarm while I am sitting still in the evening?
As night approaches and outdoor temperatures decrease, your tire pressures may drop below the parameters you have set, thus causing a low pressure alarm. When temperatures drop, turn your display off when not driving. As the air temperature rises the next day or as you start driving, the tires will heat up and come back into your parameters.

Why can't I set a lower pressure than 100 PSI for the High Pressure alarm?
The high-pressure alarm cannot go lower than the low-pressure alarm setting. If your tire pressure settings are below 100 PSI, you must first set the low- pressure alarm settings and then set the axles' high-pressure settings. When done, be sure to press and release to save all the parameter settings.

What conditions cause the display to alarm?

The display will alarm for the following reasons:

  1. A rapid air loss (FAST LEAK at bottom of screen).
  2. A low sensor battery (upper left battery icon flashes).
  3. An overheating tire (HIGH TEMP at bottom of screen).
  4. A high or low-pressure reading (be sure your parameters are set correctly).
    In every instance, the tire Pressure and Temperature numbers will also flash when the tire with the problem blinks.

How do I remove my trailer from the display screen when I am not using it?
To electronically disconnect the trailer tire icons from the screen:

  1. Momentarily press and at the same time.
  2. The trailer section on the display will disappear.
  3. To electronically reconnect the trailer section, momentarily press and again.

How do I remove my towing vehicle from the display screen when it is parked?
To electronically disconnect the towing vehicle tire icons from the screen:

  1. Momentarily press and at the same time.
  2. The towing vehicle section on the display will disappear.
  3. To electronically reconnect the towing vehicle section, momentarily press and again.

How do I remove an unwanted tire icon from the display?

  1. To delete a single sensor code:
  2. Press and hold until it beeps. Press and scroll through the parameters until LEARN ID appears. Press and release . Use the or buttons to scroll to the tire you wish to remove. Press to select that tire. The 6 digit code will start flashing. Press until you hear 3 beeps.
    The code will change to FFF FFF which will be flashing. Press once. The flashing will stop and the ID code will be deleted. To cancel the function, press . This will keep the original code.
    Note: To delete all the sensor codes when in the LEARN ID mode, select any tire icon and press so the 6 digit code blinks. Press and hold . You will hear 3 quick beeps, a pause and then 6 beeps. DEL ALL will appear on the screen. Press once. FFF FFF will appear on the screen. All the sensor codes and tire icons are now deleted. This does not affect the parameters set in the display. Press 2 times to go to the Main Screen.

REPEATER

The repeater is an integral component to your TPMS system.
Failure to install the repeater could void the warranty coverage.

  1. The repeater is used to strengthen/amplify the sensor signal to the display. A repeater may have been installed on your RV, and may also be purchased separately.
    Visit www.TSTtruck.com for more information.
  2. The repeater is wired to a 12V source that will be constant while driving.
  3. The repeater comes with two wires, one red (+) and one black (-). Simply connect the red wire to a positive source and black wire to a ground or negative source.
  4. The repeater is weather resistant. No additional setup is needed for the repeater.

Motorhome Installation
We recommend installing the repeater in one of the rear basement compartments where there is a 12v power source. Mount the unit inside the bay but against the outer wall. Do not put the repeater in the engine compartment because of excessive heat. Do not put the repeater in the rear closet because the metal in the mirror will block the signal.

5th Wheel Installation
We recommend installing the repeater in or near the battery compartment under the front overhang. Mount it with hook & loop fastener or two-sided tape to the inner, exterior wall. An alternate mounting place is on the top of the pin-box. Use industrial two-sided tape and mount the repeater on the upper slope of the pin-box. Connect the positive lead to the break-away switch (which has 12v power while driving). Ground the negative lead to complete the circuit.

Travel Trailer Installation
We recommend installing the repeater in the battery box on the front of the trailer. If the battery box is metal, connect the lines to the battery, then run the lines outside of the box and mount on the side of the battery box or the front tongue of the travel trailer.
Note: The red light on the repeater will illuminate "constant or blinking" (the repeater will illuminate with a constant light when power is applied, once the display is on and the sensors are reporting. The light will blink occasionally when transmitting information to the display).
If the light is not on, check your connections, source power or the in-line fuse on the positive lead of the repeater for issues.
