    Autel MX808S-TS: full scanner with top TPMS

    The listing states the same TPMS functions as the MX900TS, MK900TS and TS900 at a lower cost.

    See price on AmazonSee it on Amazon

A TPMS light after a tire rotation, a sensor swap or a dead sensor battery usually needs three jobs: wake the sensors up, program a blank replacement sensor, and relearn the sensor IDs to the car. Cheap tools often do only the first. This guide compares six Autel TPMS listings, from handheld relearn tools to tablets that add full-system diagnosis. We compare what each listing states about sensor activation, the relearn methods it supports (stationary, auto or OBD), how it programs blank sensors, and any extra service functions. Note that the programming functions on these tools are listed for Autel MX-Sensors, not every brand of blank sensor. Relearn steps also vary by car, so check the listing's coverage for your vehicle before buying.
