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.
