How to Program Porsche Cayenne 2010 TPMS via Autel MaxiTPMS TS601

Here is the test reports of how to use Autel MaxiTPMS TS601 TPMS service tool  to troubleshoot and program Porsche Cayenne 2010 when the TPMS warning light is on, which may indicate low tire pressure or a broken sensor.
tpms-light-flashes
in order to solve the problem and turn off the warning light, we should activate the TPMS sensors using Autel TS601 MaxiTPMS scan tool

power up the Autel TS601
power-up-ts601
select TPMS from the main menu
select-tpms
select the make, model and year to enter the sensor activation screen (it’s Porsche Cayenne 2010-12)
select-Cayenne
select-2010
Cayenne-2010
take a walk around the car to each line and point Autel TS601 tool at the valve stem
talk-to-a-walk-1
talk-to-a-walk-2
then press trigger button
press-trigger-button
—> if the sensors are good and reading successful, the sensor info will be showed on the screen
in this case, the TPMS light is probably caused by the low tire pressure
check the test result on the TS601 to find out the tire with low pressure value
inflate the tire and the problem is solved
—> if the sensor is bad and reading unsuccessful, this may indicate the sensor is broken either mechanically or electronically
in this case, you need to replace sensor by cloning one with the original sensor id, or simply create a new one with a generated sensor id
there are 3 ways to clone a set of TMP sensors using Autel TS601 scanner and a MX-sensor
Method 1:
using TS601 to activate the broken OE sensor
directly to retrieve the sensor id
then program to the MX-sensor
Method 2:
it’s used when the original sensor is not transmitting any more
in this case, connect the MaxiTPMSTS601 scan tool to the vehicle by the TS601 OBDII cable
and retrieve the sensor id from the car system
unplug the TS601 from the car when learning is successful
insert the MX-sensor and program the copied id to the sensor to finish coding
Method 3:
it’s to manually input the original sensor id to Autel TS601
then program it to the MX-sensor
since the new sensors are programmed with the same original sensor id, install it in the same position on the wheel
no TPMS relearn procedure is needed after replacement

Note:
for busy shops where fast and volume production of copied or programmed sensors are greatly needed, the sensor programming accessory device MaxiTPMS Pad is the ideal solution for fast growing business. it performs sensor activation, copying and programming just in 3 steps. Very fast.

Enjoy!
