Abstract
A system and method for resetting or reprogramming tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) tire sensor data in a vehicle control system or electronic control unit (ECU). The system and method uses a single TPMS relearning tool which (a) receives a first TPMS tire sensor data signals from the TPMS tire sensors, (b) initiates the vehicle control system to enter into a relearning or resetting mode, and (c) re-emits the first TPMS tire sensor data signal as a second TPMS tire sensor data signal to the vehicle control system to reset the vehicle control system to the present TPMS tire sensor data. In one example, the TPMS relearning tool decodes, stores in memory, encodes and transmits a second TPMS tire sensor data signal which simulates the first TPMS tire sensor data signal.
