TPMS reset scanner

[OR VietVet]

I have too much call for this ability on vehicles. Is there a scanner that will reset TPMS on a majority of vehicles?

Reszet at least on my 2005 Z71 and a 2009 Silverado and of course other vehicles?

My Autel MaxiPro MP808S-TS will do it. Reads the existing sensors, their positions, compares them to where the car thinks they are, and will send updated info to the car's computer. It's not exactly inexpensive but can also program new Autel TPMS sensors for replacements. And it does a lot more stuff, like resetting the battery status when replacing them (newer cars sometimes require this).

@Fless, is this the one you are talking about? What did you pay for yours?

The least expensive new one I found is on ebay at $750 and free shipping.

Yes, that's the one I have, and I paid just a bit more for it. Watch some of the other models, they don't always have the TPMS. And the OS on this is a later version of Android (11, I think) where some of the others are Android 4.

I sold my Tech 2 to another member since my son and I went in halfsies on this one. He gets the occasional job replacing batteries, needs to reset steering angle sensors, etc. so it works for a lot of makes and models. We did the electronic TPMS sensor position reset on his 2015 Outback.

 

[OR VietVet]

Does your Tech II reset TPMS?

 

[Fless]

I don't think the Tech 2 will reset the positions, IIRC.

So, would this scanner reset 2005 and 2009 and up?

How many vehicles, models, years does it cover?

Yes, it's current when you get it (after you do the online update). Mine had free updates for 1 year, I think. Maybe 2. But the updates are generally for the very late model changes and don't really affect what we typically work on.

Covers many, many models. Here's the first page of the Mfr selection:

PM me if you want me to send the manual; it's under 8MB.

I already have Ancel and Foxwell scanners that I can do many tests and live data procedures with. I have access to a Tech II as well, if needed. I did find the very inexpensive TPMS reset tools for separate manufacturers and each tool is less than $20. There is even one for Ford and GM that is $15. I have very rare needs for a TPMS tool. I am going to try the inexpensive route initially and switch later if need to. Thanks @Fless.

I see several inexpensive $28 to $35 reset tools that are supposed to be work for a "majority of the sensors and then I read reviews and see some say the tool did not work for them but they say things like, "did not work on my ford" but they say what model and what year and the list that comes with the tool lists the vehicles it works on and specify's the models and years. In other words, some of the reviews are worthless.

So, I am asking for input from anyone who uses these tools and their results.

I am going through this now so here is one of the el cheapos I would NOT recommend:

I discovered my sensors were not mapped to the correct positions, so I purchased this number. I've spent a couple hours with it trying to get it to work. Out of many attempts, I've gotten it to to trigger a single sensor twice. I got frustrated after trying the starting wheel (DS, front) I moved on to the second wheel (PS, front) - then it amazingly triggered that one, but it was out of order and I couldn't get the third one to go anyway. On another attempt, I actually got it to trigger the starting wheel, but then it wouldn't do any of the subsequent ones. You only have a few minutes before it times out on you and you have to start over. Giving up and will probably go beg a tire store to see if they can do it. Pretty annoyed - now I'm getting a tire light and a "service tpms" message. and no pressures displayed.

I've also tried (twice) the tool-less "change pressure" in the tire method to trigger them - no good. I did some googling and it sounds like GM disabled that sometime 2011 - 2012. But it works on our 2012 Cruze, just not on the 2013 Tahoe.
