TPMS TOOLS

TPMS Tools & Tyre Pressure Monitoring Service Equipment

TPMS warning light is one of the most common reasons avehicle comes back after a tyre rotation — and one of the fastest jobs to close when your workshop has the right tpms tool.

Autecs supplies professional TPMS tools, TPMS service equipment, and replacement tyre pressure sensors from Autel and Launch to workshops and tyre centres across Australia and New Zealand. Whether you're diagnosing a fault, relearning sensors after a wheel swap, programming auniversal replacement sensor, or building out a full TPMS service workflow, our range covers every step — with authorised supply and local support behind every product....

The right tire pressure sensor tool doesn't just read sensor data — it handles the complete TPMS service workflow: activation, diagnosis, sensor programming, and vehicle relearn. Without this capability, a sensor replacement job that should take 20 minutes becomes are turn visit or a dealer trip for the customer. The Autel MaxiTPMS TS508 and TS900 series are the workhorses of the Autecs TPMS range. The TS508 covers sensor activation, TPMS diagnosis, and relearn procedures across the majority of passenger vehicles in Australia. Step up to the TS900 and you gain MX-Sensor programming, broader vehicle coverage, and TPMS service + diagnostics in a single device — making it the more practical choice for workshops that regularly service multiple vehicle brands.

Workshops already running an Autel MaxiSYS platform can access TPMS diagnostic and reset functions through their existing tool. However, for MX-Sensor programming and full sensor relearn coverage, a dedicated tpms tool such as the TS508 or TS900 is required — and is the more practical choice for workshops where TPMS service is aregular workflow.

Stocking OEM-specific tyre pressure sensors for every make and model is expensive and impractical for most workshops. The Autel MX-Sensor universal programmable sensor solves this — a single sensor type that can be programmed via a TPMS tool to replace the OEM tpms sensors on most passenger vehicles, covering the correct frequency and communication protocol for each application.

For workshops servicing a wide range of vehicles, a stock of MX-Sensors paired with a capable tpms tool is the most cost-effective TPMS setup available.

TPMS Tools and Sensors Supplied Across Australia

Getting TPMS work wrong — a missed relearn, an incorrectly programmed sensor, a fault that keeps coming back — costs workshop time and customer trust. Autecs supplies Autel & Launch TPMS tools and sensors as anauthorised Australian distributor, with after-sales service and local tech support covering both Australia and New Zealand. Our team can help you select the right tpms tool for your vehicle coverage, confirm relearn procedures for specific makes, and provide on going support after your equipment arrives.

FAQ

Q1: What is a TPMS tool and what does it do?

A: A TPMS tool is a dedicated service device for tyre pressure monitoring systems. It activates sensors toread their ID and pressure data, diagnoses TPMS faults,programmes universal sensors to replace faulty OEM tpms sensors, and performs vehicle relearn procedures to register new or repositioned sensors with the vehicle's TPMS system. A basic scan tool cannot performall of these functions reliably.

Q2: Do I need a separate TPMS tool, or can my existing scan tool handle it?

A: It depends on your platform. Autel MaxiSYS and Launch X-431 tools with TPMS capability can handle sensor activation and some relearn procedures. However,a dedicated tpms scan tool such as the Autel TS900 provides faster workflow, MX-Sensor programming, and broader relearn coverage — making it the more practical choice for workshops where TPMS service is a regular job.

Q3: What are MX-Sensors and why should my workshop stock them?

A: The Autel MX-Sensor is a universal programmable tyre pressure sensor. Using a compatible TPMS tool, it canbe configured to replace OEM tyre pressure sensors across most passenger vehicle makes and models — at alower cost than stocking brand-specific OEM sensors. For workshops servicing a mixed vehicle range, MX-Sensors significantly reduce sensor inventory requirements.

Q4: My TPMS light won't clear after a tyre rotation —what procedure is needed?

A: This indicates a sensor relearn is required — the vehicle's TPMS system needs to relearn the new wheel positions. The correct procedure varies by make and model; some vehicles relearn automatically after driving, while others require a dedicated tpms tool to trigger the relearn sequence. Contact our tech support team for the correct procedure for your vehicle.
