How to activate or program new OEM TPMS sensor

Would love to see a second channel with you repairing everything else, better than factory. 😁😁

as a diesel mechanic I've had to fight with these so goddamn often. love your stuff man.

Welcome to my world. I'm a locksmith and I use the Autel im608 pro II to program keys and modules(BCM, TCM, ECU, PCM) on cars. So yeah I know what you mean.

Such a great channel. Absolute YouTube gold

Nice demonstration. But BMW has superior implementation, because you only need to select reset tyres in the car menu and after driving for a while it automatically detects all the sensors and their positions.

Oh yeah, I had to replace one of my sensors on a Lexus once, the hardest part was finding the correct parts number because European cars use a different frequency than the USA so the parts are different and Denso doesn't sell the European parts directly. Had to order the part from UAE to not overpay an insane price hike from the dealer, then the thing was "sleeping" as well. Thankfully I got my hands on Techstream (Toyota OBD2 software) and replaced the code manually through the software (If you have a Toyota/Lexus and work on it yourself, I highly recommend getting it, I got it with VXDiag for around $100, but be sure to check for virus, no joke, the software usually costs thousands). The sensor itself woke up after it was installed on the wheel and the wheel was pressurized and mounted.

You sir is a genius, thank you

I think I will stick with my 68 Chevy II.

Hello, Great content. Thanks for sharing. What Autel scan tool are you using?

The blank programmable TPMS sensors are used to clone your existing set for a second set of tires. Which allows you to switch to another tire set and not have to reprogram the vehicle ecu through the relearn process. Your second option is to scan your broken sensor which still triggers and program the blank programmable TPMS sensor for your vehicle. No ECU relearn procedure needed. You still have other options with the programmable and newly purchased TPMS sensor but will require ECU relearning with the new group of sensors. Love my Autel TS508 , it gets plenty of use every year with my 2 vehicles. The sensor does report PSI, temperature, battery status and hex ID when scanned.

Is there a way to wake an OEM sensor already installed on the tire withou the magnet?

I can only solder DIPs and through holes .. 30 years designing PCBs I can really zoom in a 0.35mm pitch BGA

Actually The autel can create a new I’d on the aftermarket sensors. I don’t bother taking the id off the dead sensors. Just program the sensor then do the relearn sensors and all done. Other cars like ford and GM you can just do a position relearn and it will detect the new sensor and write it to memory, no programming required. We do this crap all the time lol.

over clocking them is coming soon but just a 240hz air flow sensor made it run on aiR

can you stop being so cool, your making the rest of us look bad.

Did you RTFM?

It was painful watching you struggle with Autel and their MX sensor. The shop I work at has been using them for over a year, so that's all second nature to me. Regardless, most Toyota's have a TPMS reset button tucked out of sight somewhere. On those, you just install the sensor, start the car, press and hold the button until the light goes off, then drive for 10 miles. It should automatically re-learn whatever (correct) sensors are installed. If it has a button, you have to use it, so all that programming won't do much good. If it doesn't have a reset button, programming the ID to an MX sensor is indeed the fastest way to go.

👍

I deem this as a no fix.

I hope your problem is solved. It's usually a garage job when you change winter/summer tires.
