This tool fixed in 10 minutes what couldn't be done in multiple trips to the dealer

I'm really impressed with this tool. After several unsuccessful trips to the dealer my TPMS light was still flashing when all 4 tires were inflated and checked. It took a few minutes to load up the TS501, read the relevant parts of the manual, scan the sensors in 4 tires, compare the IDs to those in the car's computer and have the tool fix the swapped rear left and right IDs Tires over the OBD port. Well done! I'm sure it can do a lot more (like program and activate sensors) but what I saw…

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • Speed

Generally not bad.

Works well overall. 3 anomalies found: 1) Will not retrain at least some Ford cars (Mustang 2007). still requires a $45 Ford tool. 2) The 2013 Altima sedan has a non-working sensor, but according to the TS501 the sensor is fine. I moved the steering wheel to a different location and the problem went behind the wheel so it's not in the car. If it's a low sensor battery, there might be no way to detect it. 3) Would enable and relearn the TPMS sensors on the 2008 Sienna but not turn off the TPMS…

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • No instructions

Autel US Inc BILL #D1071 Completion of Purchase This is an email bill for US wire transfer fees from HQ.

I previously bought a higher end unit that broke after three months. Tech support got me going so I had to have another device for customer service so I ordered this TS501. The device did not start in a short period of 4 months, so I called tech support. They told me that the device was not sold through an official US retailer and is not intended for sale in the US, so I have to wait for them to get approval. from the headquarters in China. After a long wait they gave RGA to send to warranty…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • old

Finally. Lots of features in one great value TPMS tool

This is a great TPMS tool for the money. This has worked well on many vehicles I've tried. The manufacturer is also quite responsive if you have a problem. I emailed the tech support staff in China several times and always got a response. Even if I didn't like what they told me. The software updates from Autel's website are a bit clunky, but they work, and it's good to know you can keep the tool up to date (but you pay for those updates after the first year). My biggest disappointment is that…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Weight

If you love DIY and need to control your TPMS system, you need this device

I cannot recommend this tool enough. We have a first generation Lexus IS 250 and have had a howling low pressure warning light at various times. The warning light came on occasionally after tire changes, low temperatures, etc. We have been to many tire shops and have given many reasons why the tire pressure light is on. Everything from faulty sensors to a missing replacement sensor to a faulty tire pressure receiver module (this unit is very expensive - over $500), so Autel is a good…

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • High Price
