2. Activate ThinkTPMS G1:
   • Open the Thinkdiag App.
   • Navigate to the activation section.
   • Input the Serial Number (SN) found on your G1 device.
   • Enter the activation code provided in the manual or packaging.
   • Confirm activation within the app.
3. Connect to Vehicle (for certain functions): For some functions like relearning via OBD, connect the G1 tool to your vehicle's OBD port.

5. Nga Tohutohu Whakahaere

5.1. Activating TPMS Sensors

1. Ensure the G1 tool is powered on and connected to the Thinkdiag App via Bluetooth.
2. In the app, select the 'TPMS' function.
3. Choose the car model and year from the provided list.
4. Select the 'Active' tab.
5. Hold the G1 tool close to each TPMS sensor (typically near the valve stem) to read and activate its data. The app will display the sensor's ID, pressure, temperature, and battery status.

5.2. Programming TPMS Sensors

The G1 tool supports three programming methods for THINKCAR S1 sensors:

1. Whakatupu Aunoa: The tool automatically generates a new sensor ID.
2. Tāuru ā-ringa: Allows you to manually enter a sensor ID.
3. Replication (Copy by Activation): Copies the ID from an existing sensor.

To program a sensor:

1. In the Thinkdiag App, select the 'Programming' tab.
2. Choose your desired programming method (Auto, Manual, or Replication).
3. Follow the on-screen prompts in the app and hold the G1 tool near the sensor to complete the programming process.

5.3. TPMS Ako Anō

After replacing or rotating tires, TPMS sensors often need to be relearned to the vehicle's system. The G1 tool supports:

• Ako Anō mō ​​te OBD: Connect the G1 tool to the vehicle's OBD port and follow app instructions.
• Self Learning: Some vehicles can self-learn new sensor IDs after a specific driving cycle.
• Stationary Learning: Requires the vehicle to be stationary and often involves specific procedures outlined in the vehicle's service manual.

5.4. TPMS Diagnosis

Use the 'Diagnose' tab in the Thinkdiag App to:

• Read current TPMS DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes).
• Clear TPMS DTCs after repairs.
• Reset the TPMS warning light on the dashboard.

6. Tiaki

• Puritia kia ma te taputapu kia kore he puehu me te makuku. Whakamahia he kakahu ngohengohe, maroke mo te horoi.
• Store the G1 tool in a cool, dry place when not in use.
• Whakautua te pūrere i ia wā hei pupuri i te hauora o te pākahiko, ahakoa kāore e whakamahia pinepinetia.
• A ape i te tuku i te taputapu, te tuku ranei ki nga paanga kaha.
• Ensure the Thinkdiag App is always updated to the latest version for optimal performance and compatibility.

7. Te Raru

• Kaore te taputapu i te hiko: Me whakarite kua utaina te pākahiko. Tūhono ki tētahi puna hiko ka ngana anō.
• Cannot connect to Thinkdiag App:
