Question
How do you test TPMS sensor RF transmission without a scanner?
Answer
Use a CHEPQ RF signal detector—hold it near the sensor to see if it picks up a signal (LED flashes).
Explain
This is useful for quick field checks; the detector confirms the sensor is transmitting, even if the ECU isn’t receiving.
