I used the Autel MaxiTPMS TS508WF to identify and replace a failed TPMS sensor in a 2011 Toyota Camry, and to pretest the replacement sensors I had bought. The TS508WF did handle the job, but the tool itself is a bit quirky to use. The initial registration and update process took several tries and a total of a few hours to complete. Some of the onscreen instructions are a bit confusing. But overall build quality seems very good, and the tool appears to cover a broad range of vehicles.
Is it the TMPS module or the Computer? Answer is simple with this device
Great product when you have many generation and manufactures of TPMS modules. The batteries in those modules do not last forever and replacements seem to have a shorter life. This tool is excellent from a diagnostic perspective, is it the module or is it the car? Also great for programming the sensor and getting the modules to pair with the car or truck. Saved my hair line which is already challenge. Product new and in all the original packaging Communication was excellent Shipping was fast
I had to swap wheels on my car and the tpms light turned on soon after (the computer did not recognize the new tire pressure sensors id's on the wheels). This device worked to update my car's computer with the tire pressure sensors (using the OBD cable). No more flashing TPMS light. I followed instructions from a youtube video titled: How to program TPMS programming #Autel MaxiTPMS TS508WF #tire pressure sensor #car maintenance #how
Never buy the Autel scanner. It doesn't work with any TPMS other than its own, not even the OEM sensors in your car. With the Autel scanner, you're forced to replace all your TPMS sensors with Autel TPMS sensors; otherwise, the scanner won't function."
