How to Save Money When Buying TPMS Diagnostic And Service Tool

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is a crucial feature in modern vehicles, ensuring that drivers maintain proper tire pressure for safety and efficiency. However, after replacing or rotating tires, or installing new TPMS sensors, a relearn procedure is required to synchronize the new sensors with the vehicle’s ECU. This is where a TPMS Relearn Tool comes in handy.

How to Use a TPMS Relearn Tool (DIY Guide)

Using a TPMS relearn tool is straightforward if you follow these steps:

Step 1: Check Your Vehicle’s TPMS Mode

Before starting, consult your vehicle’s owner manual to determine the TPMS relearn procedure. Some cars require manual relearn, while others automatically sync after driving a short distance.

Step 2: Turn On the Ignition

Start the vehicle and ensure it is in the correct mode for TPMS relearning. Some vehicles may require pressing specific buttons or using an OBD2 scanner.

Step 3: Activate TPMS Sensors

Using the XTOOL TP150 or IP819TP, hold the tool near the tire’s valve stem and press the activation button. Repeat for all four tires in the correct order (usually front-left, front-right, rear-right, rear-left).

Step 4: Complete the Relearn Process

Once all sensors are activated, the vehicle may confirm the process by flashing the TPMS light or sounding a beep. If using an OBD2-compatible tool like the IP819TP, follow on-screen prompts to complete the relearn.

Step 5: Verify System Functionality

After relearning, check the TPMS display on your dashboard to ensure proper tire pressure readings. If issues persist, repeat the process or check for sensor faults using the diagnostic feature.

Conclusion: Which TPMS Tool Should You Choose?

Both XTOOL TP150 and IP819TP are excellent choices, but which one suits your needs best?

• Choose XTOOL TP150 - best economic option if you want a dedicated TPMS tool with strong relearn, activation, and programming capabilities.
• Choose XTOOL IP819TP if you need a comprehensive diagnostic scanner that includes TPMS functionality along with OBD2 diagnostics.

Regardless of your choice, both tools provide accurate, efficient, and reliable TPMS servicing, making them great investments for DIY car owners and professionals alike.

By using a high-quality TPMS Relearn Tool, you can ensure your vehicle’s tire pressure monitoring system functions correctly, improving safety, fuel efficiency, and overall driving performance. Whether you go for the XTOOL TP150 or IP819TP, you’ll have the right tool to get the job done!

I am going crazy with TPMS issues on multiple vehicles, and want a diagnostic/service tool that will work on virtually any TPMS system. Plus I want it to be as user friendly as possible, so I don't have to read through page after page of arcane instructions to get to the commands and codes that I need.

I'm not looking to spend too much money, but I realize it might cost a few hundred to get something with a large screen and easy readout and use.

Thanks for any suggestions. The boss had picked up a couple of the Autel TS501's (pretty sure that's the model), they work well, no issues that I recall off hand. We'd had trouble with some newer Subaru's and these worked fine for those relearns. Very easy to use tool overall. It will list the specific procedures for vehicles as well.

The Autel sensors work decent too. They do use a weird style valve stem, they are available though. https://www.ebay.com/i/?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711---0&mkcid=2&itemid=&targetid=&device=c&mktype=&googleloc=&poi=&campaignid=&mkgroupid=&rlsatarget=pla-&abcId=&merchantid=&msclkid=20ce12aacad1dff The link is just an example, I'm sure they can be had for a less.

I have personally used an autel TS508 for two years now. The updates are free and I haven’t found a vehicle it can’t do - although I am limited in my personal use for variety of vehicles. Friends and family with Chevy, Ford and Honda and Toyota have all been able to be serviced by this tool.

Very slick and totally worth it after a few sensor replacements/tire rotations.

Also, autel has pretty reasonable universal sensors.

Thanks!! Can you (or anyone else) explain (or point me to an explanation) of the sensors? Are they proprietary? Do all Autel sensors work in all vehicles? Can you mix & match sensors on a vehicle? I need an education on sensors.

I have the Autel MX 808 and use that...except for Chevy...they have a gadget that you can buy on Amazon the does those cars ...about 20 bucks...

Yeah, see, this "except for Chevy" is exactly what I DON'T want to put up with, LOL. I'll spend the extra money for the device that does them all. Or perhaps I am misunderstanding.... does the MX808 do the Chevy sensors or not?

We've used the sensors on GM's, Ford's, Toyota's, pretty much everything except euro stuff so far. I dont see why they would not work though given the tool has the ability to deal with them. You do need the Autel tool to program the Autel sensors. Pretty much most if not all aftermarket sensors are that way, as I understand it.

GM vehicles are easy to relearn and it's fairly simple, the MX808 appears to be a full out scan too,l so that may be the why for the 20$ tool (more handy/portable). Cool. Have you tried it on a Subaru? Thanks

I have an Autel and it's worked great on every vehicle I've used it on the last couple years. The only one that was a pain in the ass was my parents Equinox. Chevy complicates things instead of just letting me scan the sensors and then program them through the ODBii port you have to put the car into learn mode and activate the sensors.

Not sure really. It is just so simple and easy to use the cheapo job specific tool on the Chevy that I have used for 15 years...that I do not even hassle with using the fancy tool. I will look and see if my Autel does work...probably does as it does everything else I need it to on all my other vehicles..

Are you able to change the tire pressure threshold with these tools? I have a constant light on due to not running the OEM tire and wheel combo on my Ram. Sorry to hijack

It will do ford, Gm, and Chrysler pressure changes. Not every model/version though. I pretty much use for gm pressure changes. For Ford and Chrysler, I have software programs.

I only have done one ram pressure change with the autel just to try and it worked without the code. It was a newer truck that is said to need code and rf hub reset but worked with just the autel.

I typically just use alfaobd because I make other changes as well. I make customer supply code and reset rf hub.

Oh, I'm glad Daveyclimber did a little hijacking, haha. I actually have the same question/concern about changing pressure threshold.

If I bought the Autel TS508 ($279 at Amazon), would I be able to reprogram my Ford Mustang GT? I prefer to run lower (~26psi) tire pressure because the tires are very wide, and the "Low Tire Pressure" warning often pops up. This is a PITA and it reduces engine power, kind of a 'limp' mode I guess. Could I change the threshold so that the warning doesn't come on until less than 22psi???

Many thanks

Thank you

I would save some money buy an obdlink ex and download forscan. Then you can make tire pressure changes and a lot more I have owned a TS508 for a year or two now and it has worked well. It is almost worth it just for setting the pressure in the tire. Can use the cheapest inflator on the valve stem and check the pressure at the same time using the TS508 off the sensor. Only issue is with the Autel sensors. I think they time out sooner then the OEM VW sensors I replaced. First thing in the morning now requires a drive of roughly two blocks to turn off the TPMS light on the dash. The OEMs never had this issue. On the Mercedes the Autel sensors seem to act the same as the OEM, which have always required a 2 block drive to turn off the warning. I think the Autel sensors are turning off to conserve battery power.
