ATEQ VT5 TPMS Trigger Tool Operating Instructions

When new tire pressure sensors are installed, they must be registered to the vehicle using a 

sensor triggering tool.

1. Make sure all tires are inflated to the vehicle’s recommended inflation pressures (found in 

the owner’s manual on the door placard).

2. Turn the Ignition key to the ACCESSORY position and apply the parking brake.

3. At the same time, press the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the keyless entry remote for 

several seconds.

4. The horn should sound letting you know that the vehicle has entered into TPMS re-learn 

mode.

5. Place the top of the triggering tool against the driver’s side front tire’s sidewall aimed at 

the valve stem location.

6a. If using a VT10, hold down the left button until the horn sounds.

6c. If using a VT15, press the left button, wait until the horn sounds, then press the right 

button.

7. The horn sound lets you know that the vehicle just registered that sensor.

8. You can now move on to the passenger side front tire.

9. Once again, place the triggering tool against the tire’s sidewall at the valve stem location 

and push down the correct button.

10. Once the horn sounds you can move on to the passenger side rear tire and finish with the 

driver side rear tire.

11. Once the driver side rear tire is registered, the vehicle’s horn should sound twice to note 

that the re-learn procedure is complete.

12. You can now turn the vehicle off
