The MaxiTPMS® TS508 is engineered as a cutting-edge handheld TPMS scan tool, designed to expertly handle all facets of Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems. This robust device is adept at activating all recognized TPMS sensors, providing real-time status updates, assessing overall system health, programming Autel MX-Sensors, and executing TPMS relearn procedures. To streamline workflow, the TS508 offers both Quick Mode and Advanced Mode, allowing technicians to select the most efficient path for each specific TPMS task, saving valuable time and effort in the workshop. For those starting with Autel TPMS solutions, the TS508K kit, which includes the tool and eight sensors, presents an excellent entry point into the Autel TPMS ecosystem.
Two distinct TPMS service modes are integrated into the TS508, offering unparalleled flexibility directly from the home screen. This design ensures faster and more intelligent TPMS repairs. Depending on the nature of the required service, technicians can opt for the fundamental Quick Mode for rapid tasks or the comprehensive Advanced Mode for more intricate diagnostics and services, significantly reducing overall repair time.
Quick Mode vs. Advanced Mode: A Detailed Comparison
The TPMS Quick Mode is tailored for fundamental TPMS operations. It excels at swiftly verifying TPMS sensor functionality and programming MX-Sensors for immediate use.
Conversely, the TPMS Advanced Mode provides a complete suite of TPMS capabilities. This mode allows for thorough sensor checks, in-depth TPMS diagnostics, comprehensive MX-Sensor programming, and precise sensor position relearn procedures, ensuring every aspect of the TPMS is correctly addressed.
Exclusive TPMS Status Screen for Comprehensive Overview
The TS508’s exclusive TPMS status screen presents a wealth of information at a glance:
- ECU Sensor ID Reading: Quickly retrieves sensor IDs directly from the vehicle’s ECU.
- Sensor & ECU ID Matching Verification: Confirms the synchronization status between sensor IDs and ECU IDs, crucial for system integrity.
- DTC Reading and Clearing from ECU: Efficiently reads diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) from the ECU and clears them post-repair.
- Detailed DTC Description: Provides on-screen descriptions of DTCs for informed diagnostics and repair decisions.
Four Versatile MX-Sensor Programming Options
The Autel MaxiTPMS TS508 offers four distinct methods for programming MX-Sensors, catering to various scenarios and preferences:
- Copy By Activation: Transfers data by activating the original sensor, simplifying the replacement process.
- Copy By Manual Input: Allows manual entry of OE sensor IDs, useful when the original sensor is unavailable or unreadable.
- Auto Create 1-16 Sensors: Generates IDs for up to 16 sensors automatically, ideal for batch programming.
- Copy By OBD: Reads sensor IDs via OBD connection, providing a direct and reliable data transfer method.
