Today I tried to learn the group b tpms sensors. So using my gs911 I made sure slots b were clear.

Tried the learn function and it keeps saying negative response from controller. Using the wake up tool it’s flashing away and I recall doing this before and it was straight forward.

I had the ctek charger plugged in but voltage was down to 11.1v

So I ended up coding in the new values id to the two b slots.

However before I put new tyres in I really want to see they work.

Anyone know on the configuration to read the sensors how I make it read slit b sensors as opposed to the current slot a values? I couldn’t see a way.

I normally clear the sensor i/d`s in slot B using a GS911, then use the wake up tool and it will write the codes in.
I would delete the code from slot b front then wake up that sensor, then do the same for the rear.
Obviously making sure the wheels with slot A sensors coded are a long way away from the bike.
 
That’s maybe my issue. I still have the slot A wheels on the bike, the new spoked Slot B wheels are off at the moment awaiting tyres.

So I’ll pull those wheels and try again..
 
You do not need to have the wheels fitted as long as they are near the bike.
In theory there should not be a need to move set A far away from the bike when coding set B it is just something that I do.
 
Wake up tool, my unit seems to have quite a high current drain.
If I try a cheap battery it does not work or not very well, The light flashes and the low battery light does not illuminate, it seems to be heavy on battery's.
Put a Duracell or similar quality in it works fine.
 
I had problems with mine.

I programmed them with the gs911 and tried a wake up tool and just couldn’t wake the sensors.

In the end we put the tyres on, somewhere in the 15 miles home they both kicked in to life 👍
 
tape to the inner side of the rear wheel of another bike that has a centre stand - a quick rev and you have 15 minutes to un-tape and place next to and code to the correct bike

I gave up with batteries and recalcitrant wake up tools 5 years ago - never looked back

It’s a Duracell that’s in and new green light flashes and like you no low battery light. I wonder if a radio on Am would pick up the output I might try it along with another battery to rule that out.Cheers

I’ve added the codes via gs911 to group b marked on the sides of the new sensors, just be nice to know they work prior to fitting tyres.
 
The wake up frequency of these 433Mhz wake up tools is 125Khz , I think that you will find this is below the band width of domestic shortwave radio`s.
I held mine near an oscilloscope probe to check it worked.
You may have a friend with an oscilloscope or a mustimeter with a scope feature, or if you are passing an electronics repair shop it would only take a couple of seconds to check it works.
I sometimes use the wake up tool to check the tyre pressures before setting off, it is quicker than using a tyre pressure gauge.
