2 Fast Ways for Programming Autel MX-Sensors
2 Easy & Quick Ways to Program Autel MX-sensors: Copy by OBD; pull the old sensor ID stored in OBD-compliant vehicles and write it directly into Autel MX-sensor w/ the OBD2 cable included like TS508WF; Auto Create 1-16; use TS501 PRO to create new/ matched sensor ID(s), then program into MX-sensor.
3 Ways for Sensor Relearn with 1000+ Built-in Relearn Guide
TS501 PRO has 1000+ on-tool relearn guide showing you how to relearn vehicles with “Automatic / Stationary Relearn” systems. Better, you can connect this tire sensor programmer to the OBDII port. “Relearn via OBD” is easier and faster, can be done in minutes. Just follow the on-screen guide.
More Expanded Features of TS501 PRO
Signal Testing
Autel TPMS Scan Tool TS501 PRO is about to test signal strength of remote, it will show the signal strength in percentage number on the screen so that you can know the signal strength directly.
Tire Type/ Pressure Selection
Superior to TS408S, Autel TS501 PRO can help you set right tire type and tire pressure if the TPMS MIL is still on with TPMS system configuration faults.

Works great. In Canada Napa Auto Parts stock the Autel MX sensors so this thing is legit!

2012 Honda Civic -- replaced all 4 OEM TPMS sensors, but the TPMS light remained on. The TS501 relearned the new sensors and copied them to the ECU - took less than 5 minutes. For this particular Civic I needed to drive a short distance to clear the annoying TPMS alarm/light. Very satisfied customer! I'll need this tool for our 2013 Civic when its sensors fail and I probably purchase the Autel TPMS sensors instead of the OEM. More $$ savings I was quoted $700-800 from the dealer and a private auto shop. The TS501 is well worth the price. I'll probaby buy a bead breaker as the 2x4 method, though cheap, is burdensome.

Great product! Works exactly as described and seems to be very high quality. Setup was easy and it fit my vehicles perfectly and was compatible with my vehicles a 2011 Toyota Corolla and a 2012 Honda Civic. Shipping was fast and the item arrived in perfect condition. I am very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend this to others.

Great scanner and so far has worked on all the makes and models that I’ve needed to use it on.

Alas, I was hoping that this device would resolve my TPMS issues wherein my individual tire pressures are not registering in the car's status dashboard. It read the sensors in the tires ok and seemed to connect to the OBD system, but it wasnt able to reprogram the car to the sensors. Essentially, its nothing more than a glorified sensor reader to me. It is well packaged and might work for other cars, but with my car, it didnt.

Very nice to have this tool and worth the money. Now that most cars have these stupid sensors, you might as well pay for this tool once, instead of overpay someone else to figure out which sensor is out, etc. I have a couple cars that I've used it for, and it works well. I determine which sensor is out, order it off of Amazon and then take it to those cheap used tire shops and pay them $30 to install it.

After doing a lot of research, I thought that this tool would be the best in my price range to activate my new TPMS. The sensor comes in a nice box, but it takes a decent amount of set up to get the device working properly, as the manual with the TPMS tool references a CD to install information onto the tool, however I did NOT receive said CD. After doing extensive research, I was able to program the tool properly and try to use it on my car. The manual is not very helpful, in my opinion, and provides little to no advice on how to properly use the tool with programming a TPMS. Again, after even more research and YouTube videos, I had gotten the tool working. However, every time I go to program a TPMS, I get a message saying that I need to "activate" the TPMS to properly program it. I've tried different tricks, using different tools, and spent hours researching and troubleshooting, but nothing works. It is not an issue with the TPMS, as Automotive shops are able to recognize and program them. For the money I spent, it's extremely disappointing that I can't even use the tool. I was looking to save money and learn some tricks on my own, but ended up wasting even more money and time.

I could not find this in manual or anyone's review: This will activate and read Pacific sensors when pre-mounted in tires from an internet company (bad experience) that shipped them on wheels and balanced. Then it used those discovered IDs to write them into the 4Runner's TPMS ECU via the cabled OBD port. Cable comes with device as does a (too big) fancy, durable plastic case.Had to guess at vehicle to select in menu because it gives you five choices that it could be and you've got no way to know without a ton of research. Type not obvious because Toyota changed key TPMS thing in middle of model year 2017. Supposedly 2018 and later automatically re-pair and you don't need this.Seems overpriced for what you get but it's likely their need to recoup huge amount of work to be so universally applicable.Don't be a scum bag and return this after your one time use.

So I got New tires, new aftermarket sensors. All installed. But Tpms signal shows up on my dash.Turns out that the new sensors have new IDs and doesn't match what's saved in my car's ecu. So all I need to do is either copy my existing sensor IDs from ecu to new sensors. This device doesn't do that. Other option is to copy the new sensors IDs to my ecu. This device doesn't do that.Well What does it do? It can read sensor IDs by walking around the car and triggering each sensor in each wheel.What else can it do? It can read sensor IDs saved in your ecu.That's it. Don't waste your time !

Expensive...yes, but multiple vehicles and activating and resetting TPMS codes that no longer need to be brought to a dealer costing $130 in labour fees or a tire shop pays for this after a couple of winters. Easy to use and understand. Came charged, and in a neat little hard case, did the firmware update and off I went. Literally took a few minutes for each vehicle. A big time and money saver. Don't tell your friends that you have this tool otherwise they will be lining up in your driveway asking you to do their tires as well!

Obtained winter tires just before COVID... had them installed at a local tire store with OEM TPMS purchased separately. Had to get Lexus dealership to read and upload new sensors... to ECM. 30 minutes of garage time to do it! Never went back after I put all seasons back on. Just let the TPMS light flash. Found reference to this Autel unit on the Lexus Forum and bought it. As someone said already, the manual can be a challenge to review... but I did anyway. Appears it was translated or originally written in a language that wasn’t English. The unit itself is very robust and intuitive enough. Never updated firmware... and didn’t need to charge (it was already @100%). Out of the case, after reviewing instructions I spent just over 5 minutes going through the process... all done. Sadly, it will have to wait now in its case until I switch out all seasons for winters in fall. I plan to use it to fine tune the air already in tires... to give me an accurate PSI reading (to one decimal point)... much like a digital tire gauge would do. Highly recommended if you don’t want to see the flashing light on your dash and want to know your tire pressure with all sets of tires you have for your car!

Comes in a hard case and everything stored nicely.Detected the TPMS sensors quickly and provided the ID and other stats. Interface could be improved. It’s not cheap especially when some vehicles need 2 units to program. Mitsubishi RVR uses OB2 mode for re-learn. After connecting the device, it asked me to buy another trigger tool to continue. I tried buying those cheap universal trigger tools but they were garbage. Now I have to spend more $$$ on another unit. You could buy another trigger tool which probably cost $100. I ended up getting the TS408 which Is a bit cheaper than this. Customer service could be improved. I called Autel support and all the person did was told me it’s not their fault that it doesn’t work. I was not angry or even blaming them. All I wanted was to confirm if I really had to purchase another unit. Initially I thought spending this much on a unit with OB2 it would inject the ID via OB2 after already capturing the new TPMS ID’s and position. Didn’t really make sense to me to have to trigger each sensor again with another unit while 1 unit is attached via OB2

This thing saved me a few trips to a mechanic, the cost of a new TPMS sensor, and $150 labor charge at a dealership.First, I'm not a mechanic, and a tool like this seems like overkill for someone who isn't, but I can assure you it ended up being worth it.--- ACT 1 | The Dream of Rims ---Our story begins with a dream: I wanted to swap the rims on my 2017 Tacoma with a guy who had a 2016 Tacoma. I needed 17" rims, as they also fit my wife's 4Runner, so we could have redundancy for our camping adventures. At the time I didn't realize it, but on Toyota vehicles, the ID of the sensor is programmed directly in the ECU and if you do a "relearn" by pushing the button, it only works if the Sensor IDs present in the wheels are the same programmed in the computer. Having swapped rims with my friend, they weren't.I approached a dealer and a few tire companies who told me it was time consuming to break down the tires and read the IDs, or to use their RF tools to scan and reprogram. I didn't believe them. Turns out I was right.THIS TOOL SCANNED MY RF IDs AND REPROGRAMED MY ECU IN 7 MINUTES. No tires had to be removed, it included everything, including on screen instructions on how to do it on the device, specific to your vehicle and year model. It even tells you if the batteries are still good, which all 4 were. That's important for later in the story.MY TPMS was working AGAIN!!!!!!--- ACT 2 | Treachery is a-foot! ---The next plan was with my new 17" rims, TPMS programmed in, and my dashlights returned to their normal state (off), I could pursue my final goal, putting some sweet looking rubber on those tasty wheels.I bought my tires online, went to a corresponding tire show (large chain), who proceeded to do the following up installation of my tires:1. Snap a lug stud2. Put 1 of the 4 tires on with the sidewall on backwards (had to unmount and flip...my sidewalls have 2 different patterns).3. Break a TPMS sensor in my tire by using their tire removal tool (the thing that spins around and unmounts the tire from the rim).The snapped lug was pretty obvious, they told me about it.I happened to notice the sidewalls, so they fixed it.I left, happy with my new tires after a few hassles (i'd fix the snapped lug myself, it's pretty easy). I'm driving down the road and notice my TPMS isn't working.NO WORRIES, I BUST OUT THIS Autel MaxiTPMS TS501 doo-hickey and start scanning tires. The right side rear tire won't communicate with me. I take it back to the tire shop and find that when they took the tire back off there were parts of a TPMS sensor in the tire. They mentioned a battery could have also died, which would be on me to repair. I informed them I checked the batteries, they are all fine. So clearly their error. They confirmed when the tires were off I was right.They paid me $100 (in discount of purchase) for the lug, and replaced my TPMS with a Toyota branded one. (Had to run to dealership and get it).--- Act 3 | A happy ending ---Had I not had this tool, two things would have happened:1. I would have had to pay someone $150 for 10 minutes of work to reprogram my sensors to my truck.2. I might have spent days and $$$$ at a mechanic to diagnose the issue with my TPMS, only to discover it was broken and fight them to pay for the repair, since they broke it.
