4. Налаштування та початкова конфігурація
4.1 Зарядка пристрою
Before first use, ensure the TS508WF is fully charged. Connect the Mini USB cable to the device and the power plug to an electrical outlet. The device will indicate charging status on its screen.
4.2 Wi-Fi Connection and Software Update
The TS508WF supports Wi-Fi for convenient software updates. It is recommended to update the device regularly to ensure compatibility with the latest vehicle models and sensor types.
- From the main menu, select "My Device".
- Choose "Update by Wi-Fi".
- For the first-time Wi-Fi update, select "Scan Wi-Fi". The device will search for available WLAN hotspots.
- Виберіть потрібну мережу зі списку та введіть пароль, якщо буде запропоновано.
- Once connected, ensure the TS508WF is plugged into a power source.
- Confirm to begin the update process. The device will download and install the latest software.

5. Інструкція з експлуатації
The TS508WF offers two main service modes: Quick Mode and Advanced Mode. Quick Mode is suitable for basic TPMS functions, while Advanced Mode provides more in-depth diagnostics and programming options.
Image 5.1: Quick Mode and Advanced Mode overview.
5.1 Активація датчиків TPMS
To activate a TPMS sensor:
- Select the "TPMS" function from the main menu.
- Choose "Activate Sensors".
- Follow the on-screen prompts to select the vehicle make, model, and year.
- Position the tool near each tire's valve stem and press the trigger button to activate the sensor. The tool will display sensor ID, tire pressure, temperature, and battery status.
5.2 Programming MX-Sensors
The TS508WF can program Autel MX-Sensors to replace faulty or missing sensors. Two programming methods are available:
- Копіювання за допомогою OBD: This method retrieves the sensor IDs from the vehicle's ECU via the OBDII port and writes them directly to the new MX-Sensor. This is ideal when the original sensor is no longer functional.
- Auto Create 1-16: This method generates new, unique sensor IDs for up to 16 MX-Sensors. This is useful when original sensor IDs are unavailable.
To program a sensor:
- Select "Program Sensor" from the TPMS menu.
- Choose the desired programming method (Copy by OBD or Auto Create 1-16).
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the programming. Ensure the MX-Sensor is within 4 inches of the tool during programming.

5.3 Relearning TPMS Sensors
After replacing sensors or rotating tires, the vehicle's ECU needs to learn the new sensor IDs. The TS508WF supports three relearn procedures:
- Автоматичне перенавчання: The vehicle automatically learns new sensor IDs by driving under specific conditions.
- Стаціонарне перенавчання: Requires the vehicle to be placed in a "Learn Mode" (often initiated via the vehicle's dashboard controls) and sensors activated in a specific order.
- Перенавчання OBD: The tool writes new sensor IDs directly to the vehicle's TPMS module via the OBDII connector. This is often the fastest method.
To perform a relearn:
- Select "Position Relearn" from the TPMS menu.
- Follow the on-screen instructions, which will guide you through the appropriate relearn procedure for the selected vehicle.

5.4 TPMS System Diagnosis
The TS508WF can diagnose issues within the TPMS system:
- Connect the main cable to the vehicle's OBDII port and the TS508WF.
- Select "TPMS Diagnose" from the menu.
- The tool will read TPMS DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) and display detailed information about the system's health, including sensor IDs, tire pressure, temperature, and battery condition.
- If DTCs are present, you can choose to clear them after addressing the underlying issue.

7. Вирішення проблем
If you encounter issues with your TS508WF, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| проблема | Можлива причина | Рішення |
|---|---|---|
| Пристрій не включається | Низький або розряджений акумулятор | Connect the device to a power source and charge for at least 30 minutes. |
| Unable to activate sensor | Incorrect sensor type selected, sensor too far from tool, or faulty sensor. | Verify vehicle selection. Ensure the tool is positioned correctly near the valve stem. Try activating a known good sensor. |
| Wi-Fi update fails | Weak Wi-Fi signal, incorrect password, or device not connected to power. | Move closer to the Wi-Fi router. Re-enter Wi-Fi password. Ensure the device is plugged into a power source during the update. |
| Cannot connect to vehicle OBDII | Loose cable connection, vehicle ignition off, or faulty OBDII port. | Ensure the OBDII cable is securely connected to both the tool and the vehicle. Turn the vehicle ignition to the ON position (engine off). Test the OBDII port with another diagnostic tool if available. |
