OVMS Programming Baolong TPMS
Reading TPMS Module Information
- Put the key in the ignition and turn it all the way to KEY ON
- Login to the OVMS
- NOTE: If the vehicle doesn’t have an OVMS, then install the shop OVMS (Use the credentials found on the OVMS to login)
- NOTE: The OVMS must be at least v3.1, have been produced in July 2018 or later, and have a K-Line Expansion board installed to program new TPMS IDs to the TPMS module
- NOTE: OVMS v3.1 produced before July 2018 can be modified to accept the K-Line expansion board and receive the K-Line data. Refer to the section Adding K-Line Expansion in the OVMS Setup article. <– FIX LINK!
- Open the Tools dropdown on the top menu bar and select Shell
- At the bottom of the page, there is a textbox next to the OVMS# label that says Enter command.
- Type the command tpms list to show a list of the available wheel sensor sets
- These sets define 4 TPMSs when owners have multiple sets of wheels. e.g. Winter and summer tires.
- Type the command tpms read SET with the set you wish to get the TPMS addresses
- Type the command tpms read SET where SET is the name of a new set you wish to write the current TPMS addresses to. This is useful if you need to read the currently programmed addresses in the TPMS module and save them to the mask Roadster#VIN.
