How to Activate FCA Autoauth on Autel MaxiTPMS ITS600

 With an AutoAuth subscription, the Autel MaxiTPMS ITS600 tablet can perform bidirectional functions, such as OBD II Relearn, on 2017 and newer Stellantis vehicles, such as Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge, RAM, and Fiat.

Check out the instructions here to learn how easy it is to set up AutoAuth on your tablet.

We have some exciting news to share with you today. One of the most common questions we get related to TPMS is Autel tools ability to service Fiat Chrysler automobiles now known as

stellantis. Newer stellantis vehicles are equipped with a secure Gateway module or as it’s often referred to an SGM module.  These manufacturers include Jeep Dodge Ram Chrysler Alpha Romeo Fiat and Maserati. The Security Gateway was implemented in 2018 and its function is to block unauthorized access to vehicle system so how does this affect our repair processes?

 

Technicians can still access vehicle information such as reading codes and viewing live data but bi-directional functions are where it gets tricky. We can access all the vehicle’s output information via traditional OBD2 capable tool but when it comes to inputs or making changes to the systems such as clearing codes, activating components, performing service, Bay tests or even module programming special software is required to gain access through the SGM. This restricted access can be problematic for even the simplest operations take a TPMS OBD relearn or an oil maintenance light reset. Just as an example a conventional TPMS tool is not able to write the new sensor IDs and wheel locations to the module.

 

Autel has partnered with autoauth. This specialized software allows autel’s tools to gain unrestricted access to Vehicles equipped with an SGM module. Many Autel tools can now utilize this software to perform specialized Diagnostics without being blocked by the secure Gateway system.

Until now technicians have faced significant challenges when servicing TPMS on 2018 and newer FCA Vehicles. This led to many disappointed vehicle service providers not to mention their

customers.  We’re proud to announce that Autel’s ITS600 is now Autoauth capable and can meet the challenges of servicing newer Vehicles equipped with secure Gateway modules.

 

First things this is subscription-based service so you’ll need to use your PC to go to autoauth.com and set up an account you’ll then need to add your autel tool to the account.

You using the serial number.  

It’s also important to make sure your ITS600 is registered and updated to the latest version. The tool software will have Autoauth built on and ready to use now.

Let’s perform an OBD relearn on this Chrysler Pacifica. The technicians just installed a new set of tires and four new autel MX sensor TPMS sensors.

First we will connect our VCI200 to the OBD2 port and power up ITS600 TPMS service tool. Once the VCI is paired with the tool, we will tap TPMS.

The ITS600 will automatically identify the year, make and model. We’re going to perform our relearn procedure utilizing the autoauth software.

Let’s start by activating each of the sensors so we can verify that they’re working correctly and at the same time the tool will make note of each sensor’s ID and its location now.

Let’s tap relearn tap OBD relearn you will now be prompted to sign into your autoauth account on the tool. You only need to sign in for the initial use.

You’ll now see prompts on the screen saying that you are accessing the module using Autoauth within a few seconds the TPMS relearn will be complete.

It’s just that simple.  Autoauth capability is available on a wide variety of autel’s advanced Diagnostic and service tools.

If you’re not sure if your tool is autoauth capable, contact our tech support at www.obdii365.com for more information.

Autel TS508 Toyota TPMS Programming Review

 The Autel MaxiTPMS TS-508 does everything without the need to use techstream and let me tell you it's the most idiot proof tool I have ever seen. Everything is set that you follow the instructions that are in step.

It can only program Autel blank sensors (That's giving the sensor am identity to make it a sensor for the vehicle in question and add an ID.) And Autel MX sensors are the only fully re-programmable sensors, Can Take a set programmed for an Avalon and even installed change them to be for a newer version even as a HI-LINE sensor (those that display position on newer models).

When doing a relearn procedure (entering new IDs into the ECU on Toyota it even unlocks the ECU from endless loop the TMPS search will cause. You can't enter new sensor IDs with Techstream if ECU is locked searching for a sensor. There's a 2 pin DLC jumper trick to unlock it manually but the TS 508 makes sure it's unlocked. Reason that it does it now automatically is it's so frequent it's unbelievable.

You can clone, manually create ID's or have the tool generate them.

Can program up to 16 sensors at once. All makes of sensors have a battery life between 5-10 years. Usage plays a big part along with temperature.

Can scan any car's sensors. Gets ID, temp, tire pressure and battery status.

Can enter any sensor ID though the DLC connector. (Relearn procedure)

Can diagnose read and clear TPMS DTC codes, also it can read ID's set in the ECU.

Few make/models can only be cloned but they update (free lifetime) regularly as new models are added.

DENSO sensors (pacific) are pretty much all fake clones on E-Bay, Amazon and most third-party sites. They're cheap to make and the Toyota prices are high. Perfect counterfeit item. Rock Auto has no genuine proof since the parts are sold by them and drop shipped in their name from many different sources.

The only way to get real ones is through an honest Toyota dealership and even an online Dealer is expensive.

Makes an awesome tire pressure gauge too. Point, click and repeat all 4 wheels. Longest part it is walking around the car to scan each tire. No need to unscrew cap to check unless air needs to be added or removed. With the tire temperature also displayed sometimes there's a big difference between parked in my garage bay and the actual temp outside. +/-10F is a change of 1PSI, I can compensate for the difference. And a sensor reading is more accurate than a tire pressure gauge,

 You can scan and diagnose and use whatever brand sensor you want if it's the correct one for your car or use Autel and program or better yet clone them.

Autel TS508 can do everything except install it in the wheel and it needs someone to press the buttons and plug it into the OBD2 port when needed. 

Autel TS408 Program McLaren 570S TPMS Sensor

 Autel MaxiTPMS TS408 is the least expensive tool to program TPMS Sensors on McLaren vehicles. Here comes the unbiased review on MacLaren 570s TPMS programming by TS408.

 

Tool used:

Autel MaxiTPMS TS408 $159 (or TS508 TS608 or MaxiTPMS TS tablets)

Autel MX-sensors 315MHz +433Mhz TPMS sensors ($112 for a set of 4)

Really easy to use, simply register the device online and select TPMS mode followed by selecting McLaren (covers off basically all modern McLarens)

It also will do McLaren 500 series, 600 series, 650S series, 675LT, 700 series, 720S, Artura, GT, MP4-12C, P1, Senna etc.

Select 570S

Scan All Sensors by holding the unit up to the valve stem of each wheel, LF, RF, RR and finally LR

Program sensors menu and copy by Activation

Mark each sensor (you can use a sharpie to mark location on the back of each one).

Super easy and now you can do the same for all other vehicles when the time comes.

Launch X431 TSGUN vs Autel TS508 Which is Better

 Both Launch X431 TSGUN and Autel MaxiTPMS TS508 are very efficient TPMS tools for tires.

This is a TPMS sensor. Both of them can program the sensor.  Here we make a comparison to tell you the plus and the minus of both.

 

They have different prices. Autel TS508 this one can work alone. It does not need a tablet or software. You have everything included but also the price is double at this moment.

The price is really double the launch product the TPMS TSGUN.

 

I like TSGUN more because when you forget to program a sensor you can also program it after that when the tires have pressure inside.

With TS508 if you have pressure on the tire you cannot program the sensor. You should program the sensor before install it on the on the tire and charge it pressure.

 

This is one plus from the launch, the price is also second plus from the launch. But TS508 it can run alone, we don’t have the tablet. You know it depends which option it shows on your tablet, it can be from 1K euro to 5K euro. But Launch x431 tablet has many other addon modules, videoscope, immobilizer programmer, ADAS, battery tester etc. You can also run Diagzone. With Autel you have to buy separate devices with different functions.

 

Both of them have the same functionality, both of them make good work.

Launch tsgun is much cheaper and is the most that i use it because I don’t need to pre-install the sensor on the car.

 

Let’s see how these things work. You know how these programmers work actually when you try to install a new TPMS sensor in the car this one will not be able to program it.

programming is too much thing they have the database from all of the cars inside. for example each car they have at least 8 sensor inside for the summer in the winter.

 

If you have already in his memory for example TSGUN. let’s say eight sensors for Audi and also another one eight sensor for Audis and all the time units are actually the same.

Serial number for this sensor try to look when you program a sensor try to look when you program on different cars and on the same cars, you will see he will give you the same ID number of this sensor like most of the time I pay attention on the cars it will allocate me for five series the same ID number of that sensor and then the car who will believe its original sensor, but it’s not true it’s just a fake sensor they just use the data from original sensor and you you’ll be able to put it inside on the sensor this is the way how it works.

Actually both of them they are not programmable both of them they are tools who can clone the original sensors.

 

Launch TSGUN Pros and Cons

Pros:

It has great battery life and fast speed.

Makes TPMS calibration work much easier
You can scan, program and diagnose TMPS sensor.

program (clone) Launch RF sensor
Quality construction and feels good in the hand
The owners manual was easy to understand
Connect with Bluetooth
It is sturdy, well built, with simple and straightforward functionality

 

Cons:
It is not a stand alone unit,  have to pair with X431 tablet ( you need to select the car first . You have to exit the diagnostic program before you can use the tpms function)

Failed work on some models (i.e Opel Astra K, Nissan Juke 2016, 2012 Chevrolet Camaro.)

 

 

Autel TS508 Pros & Cons

Pros:
Has a powerful rechargeable battery
Enables user to manually input OE ID into MX-Sensor.
It has a 4 MX-Sensor programming options for convenience
Connects with the TPMS module intilizing OBD2 cable for sensor ID relearning
Indicated vehicle specific relearn procedures.
Offers faster and smarter TPMS repairs with two service modes.
Free sofware updates.

 

Cons:
It is somehow challenging to update

 

But both of them make good work and of course we can use it if you think logically they are not programmers they are tools who clone the TPMS sensors.
Programmers is the OEM from the factory and who can allocate the different ID numbers.

It now depends on you which tool do you have. If you have launch x431 product I recommend you the TSGUN if you don’t have it and you must buy separately just buy TS508.

Program Audi R8 TPMS with Autel MaxiTPMS PAD

 Just want to do this simple writeup and let everyone know I had great success with this method.

Instead of programming / reset a new set into the R8, clone the TPMS sensors to fool the car it still using the original TPMS sensors

1. Buy a AUTEL MAXI PAD ($49.99 )

2. Buy Autel MX-Sensor Dual Frequency (315MHz + 433MHz) Screw-in OE-Level Universal Programmable TPMS Sensors for Tire Pressure

3. Install and Open the Autel MaxiTPMS Pad Software. Go to AUDI Make and Select R8 specific
to your year.

4. Go to Copy Sensor Tab. Place the Autel MaxiTPMS Pad next to each stem of the TPMS Valve next to the tire and click TEST. This function will copy the code of the Factory TPMS Sensor ID. Once it beeps and test successful, place the new AUTEL TPMS Sensor on the PAD and Click Program. I copied and cloned each sensor one at a time and marked each sensor LF, RF, LR, RR.

Once it's all done I got the sensors mounted and install the new rims/tires on the R8. No TPMS lights or anything. The car didn't even realized anything had changed.

Overall cost was under $200.

Autel TS508 Relearn Subaru BRZ TPMS Sensor

 I have two sets of wheels, both of which have all OEM sensors. So it’s a hassle to look at the TPMS warning logo on the dash when I am using the set of wheels not from factory. I investigated the issue before, but the solution I found here was pretty clumsy. But recently I became aware of Autel‘s TPMS tools (TS508) and decided to try it out. It worked out quite well.

 

Start from the advanced mode

Select my car Subaru->BRZ->2011-2020

Select position relearn

In general, there are three ways to relearn. Stationary relearn, automatic relearn and ODB 2 relearn. For my car, the last is the only choice. You have to have a tool to do it.

The next is the steps for OBD relearn

Just follow Autel TS508 instructions. I got to this screen.

And that’s it! The light on the dash is gone.

Program Jeep Summer Tires with Autel MaxiTPMS PAD

 Spring is coming and it’s time to replace a set of summer wheels. This is a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8 (WK2). The programming procedure can be applied to other models.

Back in the summer, I bought myself a new set of tires. The tires on which I bought the car were already worn out, cracked, etc. Last season I decided to ride on it, and for this summer to change tires. Both old and new tires are the same Pirelli Scorpion Verde runflat 295 45 20. I don’t want to leave the runflat, even though it is heavier.

Initially, there were no sensors in the summer wheels, I think they were stolen from the previous owner during painting and ordinary valves were installed.
The Chinese sensors in the winter kit showed themselves perfectly, they registered themselves, they didn’t give a single error for the whole winter. So I decided to repeat the experiment.
On Aliexpress , another set was ordered at number 56029398AB.

Then i ordered the Autel MaxiTPMS pad.

The main task of the device is to make clones of original sensors on any car from Autel sensors, but it also has the function of checking any sensors, this was the main point, to check Chinese sensors before installation. It also often happens that the id number written on the sensor does not match the number registered in the sensor, and if it is necessary to register the sensors manually, this will be a problem.

Download software https://www.auteltech.com/autelcms/u/cms/www/201707/100452133999.zip

We put the program on the computer

Choose a car brand, choose the year of release

You can use the original sensor number

Spare parts on the photo: 05154876AA , 06421S3VA04 , 06421SCVA00 , 103460200A , 10394110 and others

Put the sensor on the PAD

We press check, we hear peak-peak-peak and blinking of a green light and see on the screen

Parts pictured: 56029400AE

The screen displays the sensor ID, temperature, battery status

For the correct display of the parameters, set the parameters in the settings

Spare parts on the photo: 1703201 , 1708201

Just in case, I wrote down the ID numbers on the sensors.

I also prepared reciprocal stickers in order to stick them on the disks from the inside, so that during installation you can understand where which sensor is, again, if you have to prescribe it manually.

I went to the tavern and threw the rubber, inserting sensors.

In general, the jeep is waiting for the installation of the summer, let’s see how the sensors register. There were no problems with winter roads, they registered immediately, they never failed during the winter.

By the way, another feature of the Autel TPMS PAD is the ability to read the sensor on the assembled wheel.
