It was such an helpful video! The ford dealership couldn’t get them to work because they were using the little remote with the green button but this tool had my sensors acknowledged by my truck and ready to use in under 5 mins! Thank you for such a great video!!
Did that pickup have mx sensors in it? I tried this but it doesn't work. All sensors are reading fine. But they are all red and not matching the obd numbers. I follow these steps but and also tried to deflate the tires starting with the first one but I can never get it to work. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you! Got a set of winter tires and wheels for my wife's WRX. Was annoyed to have to pay $30 to re-learn the tpms system every time we swapped the wheels for the, season. Found this tool on eBay for $118. Money well spent to be able to do everything in my driveway
Great video👍I just purchased the 906TS and 4 dual band sensors. I'm going to try this myself. Is the process the same as this video? Autel doesn't make it easy to understand things in there manuals. Thanks
Thanks SKO, the process with the MS906 TS is going to have the same feel it will just be easier to navigate. The manuals are always going to be veg because the software has been enhanced so much since the release of the tool that the manuals can't keep up. On the MS906TS after you scan all of the sensors you can select program on the top tap. At the bottom of the screen you will have multiple options for programming sensors. "Auto Create 1-16 would be the same function I used in this video.
Perfect, thanks for the video very informative. I have a question about new Vehicles when seasonal Tire change, it does not display the tire info on the dash board. just shows dashes - - - Do you know why?
I am guessing the tires you are changing to do not have the same TPMS ID's in them as what the vehicle is looking for. If you clone the sensors that on are on the vehicle and put the exact same ID's in the sensors of the new tires the vehicle will not know the difference when the tires are changed
Question. Why did you needed this tool to do it. You could have enter in programming mode and just deflate the tire little to program them to the car. Wouldn’t that work?
Some of the process can be done by putting it into programming mode and deflating as you mentioned. Not only does having the tool make the process much faster, but it also gives me the ability to modify the tire pressure Placard spec for the vehicle. Also I can see battery life as well. There are many vehicles that you can not do the deflation process to program.

nice tutorial I just purchase one of these scanners waiting on it to come my ? is I have a 2005 ford expedition Eddie Bauer and I'm up grading from stock wheels 17" to 22" wheels so I brought 4 all new sensors by VDO Redi sensor which are for my specific model so do you think those sensors will work with the TS508 scanner or do I have to Autel TPMS sensors
What an amazing video this is thanks just one question I have my device for language only has French spainish and Italian is there any way of changing this to English? Cheers
English is the primary language for the tool. You should see that available in the settings menu. If you don't see it I would recommend contacting support and having them help you with a different update program to solve that issue.
The IM608 does not have an activation antenna. you would need a standalone TPMS tool like the TS408 to get the sensor IDs then you could write them with the IM608. But that is a lot of work. Just get the TS508
Question, i lost my 4 oem ford escape 2014 tire pressure sensors, im planning to buy 4 pcs new Autel MX-Sensor 2 In 1 (315MHz + 433MHz), can I use the autel ts401 to install it ?
Yes, you can do an auto create on all 4 sensors and install them into the wheels. Then you can preform the relearn procedure. No need for OBD2 on that vehicle.
having just bought a TS508 in the UK, I dont have that No.5 tyre type/pressure selection option on mine,does that appear once the tpms system goes green,or is that something thats on the US version of the 508 only
hi. i have autel ts508 and they don't have number 5(Tire Type/Pressure Selection) function. can you tell me why? They need something? i hae the update but nothing has changed. can you help me? thanks
I have the ts508wf and don't see the tire type pressure selection or read tire pressure on placard or write tire pressure on placard, how can I make this selection to show on my autel ts508wf? Also program all tpms and show on tools all is okay, but on my car dashboard tpms saying unavailable tpms why?
Not all vehicles offer the ability to change the Tire pressure, this could be the case on yours. As far as the TPMS light still being on, check the drivers door jam for what the TPMS pressure is supposed to be, The pressure in the tires should be 5% of what is on the door. If the door pressure and the tire pressure don't match it will error and turn the light on. Some vehicles have different pressure in the rear vs front. Last option would be to contact Autel support. They have a TPMS team to answer these questions.
Dear friend you did great work on this car but I have question about this tool so this tool can do one kind of sensors can't do aftermarket sensors it's Right Hope to hear from you soon and you have a great day
I have a 2016 Kia Optima. One of the TPMS sensors went bad but I decided to just go ahead and replace all 4 sensors. Before I replaced the sensors there were DTCs in the TPMS module saying all 4 were incorrect frequency. I have came to the conclusion that the previous owner put hybrid wheels on the car and the car is not hybrid. I have this machine. How do I program the new sensors but make sure they get the non-hybrid frequency?
On the Kia Optima, they only use one frequency sensor, 433. This means it doesn't matter if they are hybrid wheels or hybrid sensors. As long as the sensors are transmitting in 433 you should be able to program them to your vehicle. You would need a tool like the TS508 or better on this Kia, you will scan all the sensors and write the sensor IDs to the vehicle just like I did in this video. Over all you should not need to change out the sensors, just relearn them to the vehicle.
@@FlashPerformance the TS508 showed that they have different frequencies. My sensors were reading 315 and my car needed 433. I replaced them and it’s fixed now. Lol, so glad to have figured out that heifer.
Yes, The TS508 has the ability to read the sensors that are already on the truck and make a copy of them and push them into the new sensors. When you do the tire swap the truck wont even know and the light will stay off
Awesome video. Straight to the point. I also had a question maybe you could answer. Does the mk808 or mk808ts do all the same things as the ts508 as far as tpms goes? Also is there a cheaper autel than the mk808 that can do all the same things this ts508 can? Thanks!
@@FlashPerformance hello, I have a question, my TS508WF does not have functionality to change tire pressure. Did I do something wrong with upgrading the tool ? Thank you.
@@NoWay-ye7yq the WF only adds WiFi all other functionality is the same. Check your region would be the first thing I would check, then make sure you are up to date
Most vehicles are going to be the same procedure. The tool will guide you through the process for each manufacturer and make. On the TS508 there is a ? button, that is your guide
It can be programmed installed in the tire, but it does need to be aired down to program. I have forgotten to program them before. Just remove the valve stem, air down the tire, and program.
Maybe... If the light was on because it could not find the sensor, then yes, it would turn off. You need to know why the light is on first. Low pressure, missing ID, low battery sensor etc
Hello. I have 1 question, in instruction was Turn the ignition key to the OFF position and depress brake pedal? where did you find instructions about 3 turns of the key?
Thank you for extensive answer. Greatly appreciated. I'm looking for Autel scanner to purchase based on reviews and things it can do. I'm looking at Autel MaxiCOM MK808 which is priced at $420 on Amazon. My question is: can that scanner get tpms numbers from ECU and program new Autel sensors? I see it has some key programming mode. Can it program new key fob for 2003 bmw 325i? I'm sure that scanner can do a lot more, like read fault codes, clear them, etc. Please let me know if that scanner will be good choice for a guy with some mechanical skills working on his own cars? Thank you.
The MK808 can read the TPM Sensor IDs from the PCM it can also wright the sensor IDs to the PCM However you will still have to have a separate tool to scan the sensors to get that ID. If you are looking to also do TPMS I would recommend the MK808TS that has all the same functions as the MK808 plus tire service. Here is one listed on eBay that comes directly from Autel US www.ebay.com/itm/172935416740
As for the keys, I can't say for sure. The service functions are not on the coverage list. If you looking for a personal tool the MK808 or MK808TS are a great cost effective choice
Great video and explanations / how-to's! I just picked up a TS508 yesterday and have a 2005 Cadillac Escalade ESV that has a couple of newly installed VDO SE10003A Redi-Sensors that this tool won't read and the vehicle isn't recognizing when also trying the e-brake / key-cycle position relearn procedure. I picked the VDO Redi-Sensors and the TS508 from all of the good reviews I'd read, but wonder if I'm doing something wrong? VDO tech support says that the SE10003A 'sometimes' need to be unlocked before they can be recognized by a vehicle which is opposite of what I'd read from VDO official and others online. Especially if they were installed and ran down the road first, before being coded into the vehicle... Any input would be much appreciated! *Extra question: On your video you programmed the extra (uninstalled) MX sensors on the ground. Can you go back and 're-cycle' these for another application at a later date, or are they burned in to that vehicle setting for good? Thanks in advance!!
@@weldingjunkie appreciate the input on both counts. That was the consensus from a couple of local shops I visited before sending the VDOs back. They looked confused when I told them that VDO tech said I'd locked them out by not learning them to the vehicle before driving on them. I'd be curious to know if they'd work if I activated them prior to installing them into the wheels, but didn't feel like spending the $$ to satisfy my curiosity. *But it seems like the TS508 should've seen them regardless of what mode they locked into... but who really knows for sure? Ended up just installing the Autel MX sensors after programming and they've worked great since. Sent the VDOs back to Amazon.
Not exactly, the S500 has an Auto relearn function and will not accept the same process. Here is how to relearn your s500: (from www.maxitpms.com) Relearn New Sensor IDs. Ensure all tires are inflated to the pressure listed on the tire placard. Vehicle must be driven for at least 10 minutes, while maintaining speed above 15 mph in order for system to learn new sensor Ids. If spare tire sensor Id is being programmed, a properly formatted TPMS tool is necessary. NOTE: The drive speed should be controlled between 16 mph (25km/h) and 64mph (100km/h) . RESET Tire Pressure: 1. Inflate all tires to the pressure indicated on tire placard. 2. Turn ignition to ON position (engine off) . 3. Press 'forward/back' button on steering wheel until trip and odometer are displayed. 4. Press 'UP/DOWN' button until tire inflation pressure monitor is displayed. 5. Hold down reset button (located on instrument cluster) until 'MONITOR CURRENT TIRE PRESSURE?' Is displayed. 6. Press '+' button 'TIRE PRESS, MONITOR ACTIVATED-PRESS. DISPLAY AFTER DRIVING A FEW MINS. ' Is displayed. 7. If 'REATIVE-TIRE PRESS. MONITOR!' Appears, repeat relearn procedure. 8. If 'TIRE PRESSURE-CHECK TIRES!' Appears, indicates tire pressure too low, adjust pressures accordingly
I'm still not clear on the whole relearn or reprogram thing. The programming is actually to program the sensor itself so the vehicle can recognize it? Will it only program Autel sensors? If this is down below somewhere, my apologies, I overlooked it.
Check out this video, it might help you understand what sensors can be programmed, cloned, and relearned to a vehicle ua-cam.com/video/vwMxHx8WoYw/v-deo.html
Not all vehicles offer live data for TPMS sensors. You can go under diagnostics and into the module that works with the TPMS receiver and see if the live data is available. Your better off getting a TPMS tool to activate the sensors, you can do this with a TS408 from Autel.
When it comes to TPMS yes, Both tools have the same software for TPMS. The diagnostics is different on the tools. The TS608 has limited diagnostics (read and clear codes in all modules, live data, and graphing) where the MS906TS has full diagnostics with bi-directional controls and coding.
How to change OE sensor broken to OE sensor by Ts 508...pls help inform me because at our county use only OE sensor. I already buy TS 508 but now can’t solve with this problem
@@khaisengkhun1457 Yes, the TS508 can program OE sensors as well. You will just follow the relearn procedure on the tool. Use the ? button for the step by step guide
Yes that worked thank you so much now I got code C1921 Tire ID reception fail , Tire2 It won't let me do position relearn gives me fail status can you please help me with this last one
Not all vehicles have the option to do Placard Relearn, from the Autel tool or even the factory tool. If that option is not offered on a vehicle you will not see it in the display
No, All of the Autel tools can do relearns on any information ready sensor, like: VDO, John Dow, Ori-TEc, Dorman, and OE. They can also do cloning and programming for Autel MX-Sensors. Here is a video I did on sensor relearns and programming with an Autel tool. ua-cam.com/video/vwMxHx8WoYw/v-deo.html
Hey what's up brother. This video helped me out alot. We have this same tool at the shop. I never had issues programming the sensors with no comebacks because I always did copy by activation and customers were happy but everybody else in the shop always has problems and the light is flashing or stays on especially on nissan and a Honda element. The Honda element has a code for sensor 2 loss of signal. Which is the sensor 2 but more likely it's the same sensor these guys tried to program but wrong. What can I do with that? I guess do toms diagnose and see what it says right? Question though. If i do copy by obd 2 can I do it with the sensor already Installed on the tire or do I have to take it off and have it by the tool and off the wheel. And is there like a chart u guys have of different issues I may see that these guys fail to do right the first time and it getting dumped on me. Thank u my friend God bless
Doing Copy by OBD, In my opinion, is always going to get you the best results. Since you are taking the IDs the vehicle is already looking for and creating the MX-sensor to produce that same ID it solves a lot of issues. You can program the MS sensors in the tire but you have to have them totally deflated. If they have pressure in them they will not take. Check out this video for common issues and resolutions: ua-cam.com/video/LeTjpZm8J30/v-deo.html Also www.maxitpms.com/ has some good FAQs
Awesome info. I downloaded the manual, but there is nothing like a live demo. Answered all my questions. After reviewing the 401, 501 and 601, the 501 seems right, but the extra $100.00 for the 601 gives me the extra ability of having a general purpose OBD2 code scan reader. Do you think the 601 is worth $300.00 or should I get the $200.00 501 and spend the extra $$$ on a separate OBD2 code scanner. Thanks for the help and great video.
Duplicate ID means 2 of the sensors have the same ID number, you will need to figure out which ones and why. Most of the time this is user error, but sometimes it is because a sensor was cloned twice and the sensor match. If the sensor ID matches, the vehicle can not tell which sensor is where.
The TS508 will work with any information ready sensor, like Dealer sensors, VDO, John Dow, Ori-Tec and Dorman. It will not work with other companies blank sensors.
The MS906TS is a full Professional diagnostic tool and full professional TPMS tool. It is one of a kind in the industry. It will have all the functions of a TS508 and TS608. Here is a video talking about the MS906TS ua-cam.com/video/9KowI4jCwH8/v-deo.html

I change old sensors with new . New are mounted on tire. Dint scan new ones can I relearn them.?. On the wheel?
release all the air pressure out of the tires and program the sensors at 0 PSI then you can air them back up and do the relearn process.
@@FlashPerformance thank you will do
very thanks
Very helpful thank you
Great video. Would this method work on 2004 S500? Keep those videos coming.
Not exactly, the S500 has an Auto relearn function and will not accept the same process. Here is how to relearn your s500: (from www.maxitpms.com)
Relearn New Sensor IDs.
Ensure all tires are inflated to the pressure listed on the tire placard. Vehicle must be driven for at least 10 minutes, while maintaining speed above 15 mph in order for system to learn new sensor Ids. If spare tire sensor Id is being programmed, a properly formatted TPMS tool is necessary.
NOTE: The drive speed should be controlled between 16 mph (25km/h) and 64mph (100km/h) .
RESET Tire Pressure:
1. Inflate all tires to the pressure indicated on tire placard.
2. Turn ignition to ON position (engine off) .
3. Press 'forward/back' button on steering wheel until trip and odometer are displayed.
4. Press 'UP/DOWN' button until tire inflation pressure monitor is displayed.
5. Hold down reset button (located on instrument cluster) until 'MONITOR CURRENT TIRE PRESSURE?' Is displayed.
6. Press '+' button 'TIRE PRESS, MONITOR ACTIVATED-PRESS. DISPLAY AFTER DRIVING A FEW MINS. ' Is displayed.
7. If 'REATIVE-TIRE PRESS. MONITOR!' Appears, repeat relearn procedure.
8. If 'TIRE PRESSURE-CHECK TIRES!' Appears, indicates tire pressure too low, adjust pressures accordingly
I'm still not clear on the whole relearn or reprogram thing. The programming is actually to program the sensor itself so the vehicle can recognize it? Will it only program Autel sensors? If this is down below somewhere, my apologies, I overlooked it.
Check out this video, it might help you understand what sensors can be programmed, cloned, and relearned to a vehicle ua-cam.com/video/vwMxHx8WoYw/v-deo.html
Very nice info , thanks keep it up
Do you press and hold programming button or press and release. I seem to get incomplete result with feedback beeps.
Press and release
Great information
Does this work for BMW Mercedes Lexus Toyota?
Yes, you can see the coverage list at www.maxitpms.com
Hy how can i check and see the tpms via IM508 can this bee seen on live data?
Not all vehicles offer live data for TPMS sensors. You can go under diagnostics and into the module that works with the TPMS receiver and see if the live data is available. Your better off getting a TPMS tool to activate the sensors, you can do this with a TS408 from Autel.
@@FlashPerformance i see thanks a lot for your advice and for all your best videos.
Great video!
In the first procedure, did you replace the original Ford sensors for autel sensor to do it? I mean does this scanner work with Ford original sensors?
The Autel TPMS tools will work with any OE sensors, any Pre programmed sensors, and any information ready sensors.
Thanks for your answer, I didn't know that. Nice video!
Hi do you know if the autel maxi das ds 808 can program tpms
Ian Kelly Yes but you will still need an activation tool like the TS408
Does the Autel maxisys 906 tsx have the same ability as this maxitpms ts608?
When it comes to TPMS yes, Both tools have the same software for TPMS. The diagnostics is different on the tools. The TS608 has limited diagnostics (read and clear codes in all modules, live data, and graphing) where the MS906TS has full diagnostics with bi-directional controls and coding.
How to change OE sensor broken to OE sensor by Ts 508...pls help inform me because at our county use only OE sensor. I already buy TS 508 but now can’t solve with this problem
You will just need the TS508 and an Autel MX sensor. You can Auto Create, Clone, or copy by OBD. The process is very easy
Flash Performance in our country use only OEM sensor. Autel Ts 508 use change from OEM sensor that broken to OEM sensor that good?
@@khaisengkhun1457 Yes, the TS508 can program OE sensors as well. You will just follow the relearn procedure on the tool. Use the ? button for the step by step guide
10:37 ya esta! Perfecto Spanish 😉
Would this work on a Maserati Ghibli?
Yes, 2013-2019. www.maxitpms.com>Coverage
Flash Performance Thank you
Why i dont have no5..for setting tyre pressure
Make sure you check for updates on the tool, but also not all vehicles allow for tire pressure change.
Help help please!! I can't access my tpms diagnose without scanning the spare tire that I don't have so is there another way to bypass??
press the "trigger" button and the "N" key after that. That will clear out the request for the spare tire and you should be all set after that.
Yes that worked thank you so much now I got code C1921 Tire ID reception fail , Tire2
It won't let me do position relearn gives me fail status can you please help me with this last one
@@avniveseli5674 I recommend contacting Autel Tech support for this one
Could you auto create a oem tpms?
OEM sensors are already created with an ID, all you have to do is learn them. You can just do the relearn process with the TPMS tool
I don't have that #5 option on my device...I don't know why. The same one to relearn tire pressure
Not all vehicles have the option to do Placard Relearn, from the Autel tool or even the factory tool. If that option is not offered on a vehicle you will not see it in the display
Flash Performance That makes sense. Thanks for the response.
Can the ts508 pogram EZ-sensors?
No, All of the Autel tools can do relearns on any information ready sensor, like: VDO, John Dow, Ori-TEc, Dorman, and OE. They can also do cloning and programming for Autel MX-Sensors. Here is a video I did on sensor relearns and programming with an Autel tool. ua-cam.com/video/vwMxHx8WoYw/v-deo.html
Hey what's up brother. This video helped me out alot. We have this same tool at the shop. I never had issues programming the sensors with no comebacks because I always did copy by activation and customers were happy but everybody else in the shop always has problems and the light is flashing or stays on especially on nissan and a Honda element. The Honda element has a code for sensor 2 loss of signal. Which is the sensor 2 but more likely it's the same sensor these guys tried to program but wrong. What can I do with that? I guess do toms diagnose and see what it says right? Question though. If i do copy by obd 2 can I do it with the sensor already Installed on the tire or do I have to take it off and have it by the tool and off the wheel. And is there like a chart u guys have of different issues I may see that these guys fail to do right the first time and it getting dumped on me. Thank u my friend God bless
Doing Copy by OBD, In my opinion, is always going to get you the best results. Since you are taking the IDs the vehicle is already looking for and creating the MX-sensor to produce that same ID it solves a lot of issues. You can program the MS sensors in the tire but you have to have them totally deflated. If they have pressure in them they will not take.

Also www.maxitpms.com/ has some good FAQs
I need it how much
Awesome info. I downloaded the manual, but there is nothing like a live demo. Answered all my questions. After reviewing the 401, 501 and 601, the 501 seems right, but the extra $100.00 for the 601 gives me the extra ability of having a general purpose OBD2 code scan reader. Do you think the 601 is worth $300.00 or should I get the $200.00 501 and spend the extra $$$ on a separate OBD2 code scanner. Thanks for the help and great video.
Personally I would get the TS501 and this OBDII from Walmart ua-cam.com/video/5Rls1byZQPU/v-deo.html
@@FlashPerformance Chad, thank you for the info. I will take your advice. How can I send you $$ for your time and advice. Nobody works for free.
@@monster2269 No need for that, just subscribe and I will be happy! Thanks!
If it say duplicate ID what do u do eny body now how to fix it
Duplicate ID means 2 of the sensors have the same ID number, you will need to figure out which ones and why. Most of the time this is user error, but sometimes it is because a sensor was cloned twice and the sensor match. If the sensor ID matches, the vehicle can not tell which sensor is where.
Ok thanks an I just do a relearn
The word "Across" does not have a "T" in it. Just FYI.
Is the ts508 work only with autel tpms or can work with every sensor⁉️⁉️❓❓❓
The TS508 will work with any information ready sensor, like Dealer sensors, VDO, John Dow, Ori-Tec and Dorman. It will not work with other companies blank sensors.
That means it work only with over priced sensors but thank u
Hi there my car Yukon SLT 2005
Does it work on my car
Yes, your vehicle is covered www.maxitpms.com/getCoverage.jspx
*ts508
The MS906TS is a full Professional diagnostic tool and full professional TPMS tool. It is one of a kind in the industry. It will have all the functions of a TS508 and TS608. Here is a video talking about the MS906TS ua-cam.com/video/9KowI4jCwH8/v-deo.html
I just cannot get it to work
Autel has a tech support line. Make sure the tool is updated
great video good job
Can you not change the psi on the new is600 autel?
Yes, the ITS600 can do this same process
