5 TPMS Sensor Programming
The Programming function allows users to program the sensor data to the
MX-Sensor and replace faulty sensor with low battery life or one that is not
functioning. The scan tool is easy-to-use with a proven efficiency and
guaranteed accurate results.
NOTE
Programming function will only work with Autel’s MX-Sensor. Currently,
there are two models available: Clamp-in Sensor and Snap-in Sensor, both
with two types, one in orange color with 433MHz frequency, and one in dark
gray color with 315MHz frequency. The Clamp-in Sensor is taken as an
example in this manual. Please choose the right MX-Sensor when
programming.
Under All Wheels mode, there are four options available when
programming MX-Sensor using this scan tool: Auto Create, Manual
Create, Copy by OBD, and Copy by Activation.
Under One Wheel mode, you can rapidly program more than 5 MX-Sensors
for the same vehicle model at a time with three options: Copy by
Activation, Auto Create and Manual Create. That is really convenient for
tire shops.
Auto Create
This function is designed to program the MX-Sensor by applying random
IDs created according to the test vehicle when it is unable to obtain the
original sensor ID.
1) Use the UP/DOWN scroll button and the LEFT/RIGHT scroll button to
select TPMS from Main Menu, and press the Y button to confirm.
2) From the vehicle make screen, select a specific vehicle brand and
press the Y button (Take Chrysler as an example).
