Autel TS401 TPMS Sensor Reader

[Nekit]

I have been pleasantly impressed with my Autel TS401. You use it to read TPMS sensors. It can tell you if you have a bad sensor, if the sensor batteries are low and can activate the sensor to relearn them. The TS401 can't learn the sensors for you car on it's own, you'll need a OBD2 computer like the DS708 that I have.

If you want a stand alone unit you'll need the TS501.

Anyway for a Chinese brand I've been pretty happy with Autel and haven't found a car that the TS401 won't work with.

The update goes up to 2013.. I have not try it on newer year models.I used it on honda, nissan, ford, land rover, bmw, toyota and worked.Easy self explandatory friendly use. I have the Autel DS 708 too.so it was a great addition to my scan tool.

I have a 401 ordered and i'm trying to educate myself on the tpms systems so this may be a "ignorant" question. Why is it important for the tool to "learn" the sensors. thx
