ATLAS – TPMS Mobile App. TPMS Mobile App is available from the APP Store (IoS & Google) and enables easy installation of TPMS sensors, live view, alerts and warnings and diagnosis of any problem. In addition notifications can be received from any device ‘on-the-go’. TPMS Sensors works through bluetooth 4.
Can I program my TPMS myself?
Follow the on-screen instructions on the TPMS tool to program each sensor to the vehicle’s TPMS system. This process may involve inputting new sensor IDs or copying the old sensor’s ID to the new sensor. Top of the line scan tools like Autel allow for auto creation where it takes care of all this automatically. There are Three basic relearn methods for TPMS sensors. Stationary – 25% Use an activation tool with the car in ‘relearn’ mode. New IDs can be programmed without driving the vehicle. OBD – 36% An activation tool in conjunction with a scan tool is required to program new sensor IDs into the vehicle.Plug the TPMS reset tool into the OBD-II port under your dashboard. Follow the on-screen prompts to scan and reset your sensors. Some tools require you to activate each sensor manually by holding the device near the valve stem of each tire.If you have recently filled up your tires and the TPMS light remains illuminated, there are a few possible reasons: Sensor malfunction: One or more sensors in your TPMS system may be faulty, requiring professional inspection and repair.This is why you should maintain proper inflation pressure and try to avoid driving when the TPMS light is on. If you absolutely must drive a short distance on a tire with severely low pressure, drive very slowly and use extreme caution. The tire should be inflated or changed before driving anywhere.Consider sensor issues: In general, the TPMS sensor light should turn off within minutes after filling your tires. However, the sensor itself could malfunction, giving off false alarms or not resetting properly.
Can you program TPMS without a tool?
Some TPMS systems do not necessarily need the TPMS reset method or the TPMS activation tool to configure the sensor. So, you just turn the car keys on to ignite the engine and begin to drive slowly at a steady speed within the 20-30 mph range for at least 10 minutes. With the vehicle off, turn the key to the “On” position, but don’t start the car. Hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release it. Start the car and wait 20 minutes for the sensor to refresh.For vehicles with the TPMS reset button instead, it’s as simple as pressing and holding the TPMS button (under the steering wheel) until the yellow TPMS lights blink and turn off. This button is located mostly under the steering wheel; however, the exact location is mentioned in the vehicle’s manual.
Can an OBD2 scanner program TPMS sensors?
The appropriate diagnostic tool is critical for tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS). Not all OBD2 scanners provide enough capabilities for reprogramming or resetting, so a TPMS scanner is an indispensable choice for those requiring comprehensive and functional interactions with this system. Visit your local Discount Tire store and we’ll run a check, refill your tires, and reset the TPMS at no charge. We’ll also inspect your tires for damage or other reasons the sensor may have triggered.Use a valve stem removal tool to pull the valve stem out of the valve stem hole. Take note of its orientation and how it was installed. Install the New TPMS Sensor: Pull the new sensor into the valve stem hole using a valve removal tool into the same position as the old one.The average cost to replace the TPMS Sensor is between $314 and $368. Find out TPMS Sensor replacement pricing for your vehicle.Once the transmitter is on the tire, allow up to 20 seconds for the TireMinder® TPMS App to find the sensor and display it on the screen. Once found, the tire position will turn green and display the tire’s pressure and temperature on the screen.

With modern technology and specialized tools, TPMS sensors can now be replaced without removing the tire from your car. This makes it easier and more convenient than ever before to keep your Tire Pressure Monitoring System up-to-date and running properly.While it’s technically possible to drive a car with a bad TPMS sensor valve, it’s not advisable for several reasons. Firstly, as outlined above, doing so compromises your safety and that of other road users. Secondly, it can result in increased running costs due to reduced fuel efficiency and accelerated tyre wear.If you have an indirect TPMS system, your mechanic will need to manually reset the sensors after changing your tires. If you have a direct TPMS system, no additional maintenance is required to reset the system. A new TPMS system will typically last for about 10 years before the batteries run out.Since 2008, the U. S. Department of Transportation has made it mandatory for all vehicles to have a TPMS. For this reason, it is illegal to disable your TPMS.TPMS sensor batteries are sealed in the sensor housing and cannot be serviced. When the battery is depleted, the sensor can no longer provide protection to the driver and passengers and must be replaced.
Do I need to replace all 4 TPMS sensors at once?
Replacing all four TPMS sensors at the same time makes sense because they’ve all experienced the same heat, rotations, and wear. TPMS sensors are designed to last for many years – 5-10 years is a likely lifespan.
Can I reset TPMS myself?
Locate the TPMS reset button (often under the dashboard or in the glove box). Press and hold the button until the TPMS warning light blinks, then release. Start the vehicle and drive for 5–10 minutes to allow the system to reset. The appropriate diagnostic tool is critical for tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS). Not all OBD2 scanners provide enough capabilities for reprogramming or resetting, so a TPMS scanner is an indispensable choice for those requiring comprehensive and functional interactions with this system.Some Innova OBD2 scanners have the functionality to identify the tire sensor that has the issue. Once the issue has been corrected, the OBD2 scanner can reset the TPMS light by erasing the trouble code stored on the onboard computer.While it’s technically possible to drive a car with a bad TPMS sensor valve, it’s not advisable for several reasons. Firstly, as outlined above, doing so compromises your safety and that of other road users. Secondly, it can result in increased running costs due to reduced fuel efficiency and accelerated tyre wear.Can You Replace TPMS Without Removing the Tire?
