Review on 🔧 Autel MaxiTPMS TS601: Advanced OBDII Code Reader and TPMS Sensor Relearn Reset Activate, with Enhanced ECU Reprogramming Functionality by Aaron Bannister

I work at a car dealership. When we replace an OEM sensor, we (obviously) have to do a relearn. That means looking for a diagnostic module in the store (a waste of time), connecting it to the car along with a laptop with special software, downloading the software, logging in and going to the right screen, and then looking for another tool that the sensors activates (five times at a time), uploads the sensor codes to the ECM, and finally drives the car a quarter mile, which completes the relearn (when not driving, the Low Tire light stays on for the customer). and they will think there is a problem and hurt your reputation). Well I used the TS601 at another store and was surprised that it cost around $350. Other basic TPMS relearn tools range from $1,000 to $2,000, and some won't let you upgrade without paying a fee. So I turned on this tool, selected the vehicle, scanned each sensor ONCE, uploaded to the ECM and done. Didn't even have to drive. This tool reduces a 10 minute job to less than 2 minutes. We're a dealer so won't be using aftermarket sensors, but I have experience programming aftermarket sensors with this tool at another shop and let me tell you, it's just as easy. While a technician was doing the actual sensor replacement, I not only programmed the new sensor, I retrained it—all while a tire was on the tire changer. Parts availability is solid, you can buy MX sensors for fifty dollars each at any of the major auto parts stores, and they also only stock rods, both metal and rubber - they're serviceable because you have to replace the rods every time. when you open the tire. The OBDII diagnostic/code reader is super cool. It takes longer to determine which protocol the vehicle is using compared to other scan tools, but still less than 30 seconds. It contains the code and its description. I've never opened the manual, but I've heard that it needs to be rewritten and the on-screen instructions aren't always correct.
