Your "TPMS sensors" link doesn't go to any specific product, just a general search phrase on Amazon. My understanding is that the TS508 tool can only clone/program Autel's own "MX" series of sensors, not other aftermarket or OEM brands.

😁👍🏼 You got some serious patience !

So did I Thanks.

Thanks!

Awesome, glad it helped!

Thanks! 😁👍🏼

Hi, Can you, please, say about your success fix TPMS on your van, I have Toyota Sienna 2007 and change all 4 sensors and really don't know how to fix. I spend on my car already 1800. Thanks

Yes, but with a BIG caveat. Autel MaxiTPMS tools can only PROGRAM Autel MX aftermarket sensors, NO OTHER BRANDS. What is shown in this video is NOT a programming of the sensor but rather an OBD RE-LEARN procedure.

@@StilettoSniper Thanks for pointing out this key difference and what was being shown in this video. When he showed those $10 sensors i knew they weren't Autel MX sensors just by the shape of the sensor bodies. I've learned there is a difference between a PROGRAM and a RELEARN.

@@davidricardo86 what is the difference?

When did you hear me say easy or inexpensive?

Considering you will be charged $100+ each time you do this at tire shop, the tool pays for itself in just two visits.

Most households have 2-4 cars, with 4-5 sensors in each car. Then there are also two sets of parents, friends, neighbors & relatives with cars. Sensor batteries die about every 5 years. Then there are winter/summer tire sets in some areas of the country... Unless you are lonely antisocial 90-years old living in Florida, its gonna be probably used at least twice a year.

I have 4 cars on my house so $125 for this tool is a good deal

Blinking light indicates dead sensor. Solid light lets you know that tire pressure is low. Solid light would be triggered by a good working sensor and it should take precedence over blinking light. You basically deflate one tire at s time and see which tire would cause blinking light to turn solid. May not work the same on all car brands, but thats what it was doing on my car.

Yes, I actually prefer to program sensors beforehand, to make sure they are working, compatible & have good batteries.

Sensors come already programmed with ID’s from the factory. Car ECU needs to be programmed to accept communication from new sensors.

If your car has a full size spare and also has sensor the device will display the spare during the diagnosis step and also during the programming

No, I used Denso sensors for my Toyota and this tool programmed it without problems.

Buy your OE sensors online, not from a stealership. You will save a shit ton of money.

No, it will only delete error codes sand turn off low tire pressure dash light.

Yes, it automatically replaces old values.

@@DIYtime awesome thank you for the response.

New sensors need to be triggered or activated first. I have a video somewhere showing how its done. It is not shown in this video cuz I’ve had similar situation and only later learned about activating.

You can do either one. I used OEM Denso sensors.

I’ve done sensors on my Lexus IS and Toyota Tacoma, and they didn’t require waking up. Plus, if your car doesn’t have TPMS light - your sensors are definitely awake. 😁 My Autel tool gives me battery status on both cars without issues. Also, maybe make sure you choose correct car make/model in the menu. Contact seller if still no go.

*I did some research, someone said he did have to wake up sensor for Prius by deflating it during registration or triggering procedure.

That doesn’t sound right. Programming should be a part of replacement process. Otherwise why even bother replacing them. I would go after that shop to get the job done right. And yes, you don’t need to have original sensors in order to program the new ones.

On push start cars “ON” means ignition is on. If you have a key ignition, turn key to ON.

I’m wondering the same thing

When you buy cheap sensors online I think they come preprogrammed for year make model of your car but could be wrong? When you use "relearn function on tpms" does it not program a unprogrammed sensor to your vehicle?

@@KensDIYandHowTo I bought a spare set of Rims and tires with TPM Sensors already mounted. The guy said they came of his dodge ram but they would not communicate with my dodge truck computer. My Maxit508 could not detect or read the sensors on this set. Maybe the sensors were already dead. Anyhow, I did order a new set of programmable TMPS sensors, I will swap them out in the spring.

Старауся!

Just hit the on button with no foot on the brake.

Don’t step on brake and press on button twice. It goes into ON. One press is ACC. Just like when cars has keys. First turn, acc. 2nd turn On and

Either way is fine. I would even say it’s better to program them before installing. Once I purchased a new sensor, installed it first, and then realized it was defective when trying to program it. Had to do it all over again 😬.

Mine was installed first, before I had this device. After acquiring, just do relearn and write the sensor ID to ecu by hooking onto OBD.

No, it will read all sensor brands and record them to ECU. Autel sensors are universal and you can use them with many cars or for cloning your old sensors.

@@DIYtime thanks. And if i use for example geartronics sensors can i instal them?

What car is this for?

@@DIYtime Jeep commander

They still can be programmed after installation if you have TPMS tool. It can scan and display sensor ID’s.

I used their sensors.

I have a couple videos about misfire on my channel here...

@@DIYtime qqq

Yes.

Yes, *but you have to use the universal sensors of the same brand.

Yes, their website says it is compatible with your car.

I programmed Denso sensors without issues multiple times. Just make sure to do “wake up” procedure. They often come dormant from the factory to save battery.

@@DIYtime Good to know. Autel advertised this can only program MX and I’ve seen countless customers have issues. I personally use a pro grade unit but it’s good to know with Toyota this seems to work. I don’t like aftermarket TPMS sensors. They will drive you to drink 🍺

It does other brands. Its just a bit confusing to figure out. I actually did a full review video on this tool where I go into details about it.

@NordicPride970 hi, what unit do you use?

With all that new technology in modern cars, I don’t think there is much other options we have these days, aside from paying someone else to do it. If you are aware of any, let me know, I’ll be happy to try and make a video to share with everyone.

I purchased a new Autel TS508 on eBay for $120 + sales tax, shipped, after a frustrating experience at a local tire chain. My first use was to check pressure, and it quickly detected a dead/defective new sensor in one wheel. The shop verified my finding and replaced the sensor at no charge. However, I've learned that on at least fourth gen Toyota 4Runners, the position and ID relearn process screws up the vehicle-stability system (instrument panel VSC Trac lights stay on). Fixing that requires a zero-point calibration process to be performed. Easy to do, but since the mechs at the shop had never heard of that, I found the process online and did it myself.

Nice! If you have summer/winter sets of tires, the tool will pay for itself very quickly!

@@bywayz Thanks for passing on your experience. I might see if I can find the TS508 for a low price.

Cheapest solution is free from American tires co. For a DIY like me, I bought this tool and this video was helpful. Money means nothing if it solves stress with multiple cars and no visits to tire shops that takes hours to deal with. Time is money. Best I got the tool for was $200 on eBay.

Possibly one of your new sensors is dead and the tool catching signal from the same sensor twice. After all these are communicating wirelessly with ECU and signal can be detected from the distance. Thats what happened to me once. I bought “new” sensor that had dead battery. This can happen if seller has them sitting on the shelf for too long.

Not sure how you missed it, but it is clearly stated in the video: after reading new sensors to connect tool to OBD2 port and turn on the ignition. Keep on mind that other car brands may have different on screen instructions. I am just showing how it worked on my 07 Altima.

Boa explicação parabéns 👏👏👏👏

👍🏼

You can ask me here.

@@DIYtimeOk,do you start to review products on KZfaq,I have code reader need do a review video,are you interested?

No, at the moment I am not doing product reviews.
