Read out the tire pressure loss event memory


Important notes

From control unit version 02 on, the RDK control unit contains an event memory which stores data on any pressure losses at one or more tires during the last 8 journeys made by the vehicle. It also indicates the road speed at which the event occurred, and whether either one or two pressure-sensing switches were open.

This event memory permits conclusions to be reached regarding unnatural pressure losses at one or more wheels. Eliminate the cause of any unnatural pressure loss immediately.

Of the 8 recorded journeys, journey 8 is the most recent.

When the event memory is read out the most recent journey, that is to say journey 8, is shown on the system tester's display. The event memory cannot be erased.

If the > button is pressed, the next wheel for which a tire pressure loss event was recorded will be displayed, or if no other wheel was affected during this journey, the previous journey appears on the tester's display panel.

Event storage: When a new journey is started (after the ignition has been switched off), journey No.1 is erased from the event memory and the previous journey Nos. 8 to 2 moved up to become journey Nos. 7 to 1.

Procedure: Call up the event menu. Press the > key repeatedly until the event memory is read out in full. The tester indicates this (test end).
