How to replace 99% US cars’ Tire Pressure Sensor with Autel MX-Sensor

Autel MaxiTPMS TS601 vs. MaxiSys MS906TS TMPS Tool

The purpose of the TPMS in vehicles is to warn drivers that at least one or more tires are significantly under-inflated, possibly creating unsafe driving conditions.

In low tire pressure condition, The TPMS indicator is a yellow symbol.

Why TPMS becomes so important in the world?

Even now, a substantial number of vehicles hit the road each day with underinflated tires. However, proper tire maintenance with the aid of a TPMS can and does help prevent many serious accidents.

Then, in response to a surge in accidents due to underinflated tires, the US government passed the Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability, and Documentation (TREAD) Act. One of the outcomes of this legislation is that vehicles sold in the United States since 2007 must include TMPS of some kind.

Below are most powerful TPMS Diagnostic and Service Tools in today’s market.

First TPMS tool is Autel MaxiTPMS TS601

It can fully diagnose TPMS problem, activate TPMS sensors and reprogramming the vehicle’s ECU. By working with 433MHz/315MHz MX-Sensor, this combination can solve all TPMS problems.

Second TPMS tool is newest Autel MaxiSys MS906TS

The MS906TS has an all-in-one exceptional OE-Level functionality from OBDII diagnostics, ECU coding to complete TPMS service. With this, Now technicians don’t need a second TPMS tool to trigger, relearn, or program MX-Sensor. Quickly test all vehicle systems by touching 8.0” screen tablet of the MS906TS.

What’s the difference between them?

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.

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

select TPMS from the main menu

select the make, model and year to enter the sensor activation screen (it’s Porsche Cayenne 2010-12)

take a walk around the car to each line and point Autel TS601 tool at the valve stem

then 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.
