The system can be checked, using the diagnostic tool, by activating a read off at the same time as activating the sensors using a special tool.

The special tool is placed against the tire in the place where the sensor is installed, at the same time as you push in a button on the special tool. Then the special tool sends out a signal that activates the sensor so that it starts to transmit signals to Upper Electronic Module (UEM). The activated sensor's ID-number and tire pressure are then shown on the display in the diagnostic tool.
