THIS SCANNER WORKED GREAT. IT WILL DO EVERYTHING A $300. SCANNER WILL DO EXCEPT PROGRAM BLANK TMPS SENSORS,THATS OK ALL FACTORY SENSORS ARE ALREADY PRE PROGRAMED AND IF YOU CHOOSE FOR A CHEAPER TYPE SENSOR THIS SCANNER WILL PROGRAM XTOOL SENSORS AND THEY WORK GREAT. FOLLOW THE PROMPTS ON THE SCANNER AND LOOK AT THE ONLINE USER MANUAL VERY SIMPLE TO USE. I CHECKED MY SENSORS AT EACH WHEEL, PLUGED IN TO THE OBD VEHICLE PLUG ANSWERED A FEW QUESTIONS DROVE 1/2 MILE EVERY THING WORKS.

Excellent tool with a comprehensive coverage of makes and models! Having tried different TPMS activation tools, I've learned that the tool/process to activate sensors on an American vehicle is different from that on an Asian car. The list of supported vehicles on this tool is truly impressive, and I've tested it on both a Honda (2010 Odyssey) and a Toyota (2017 Lexus RX350), and three separate sets of sensors (each set has 4 sensors). The tool activated all of them including a set of XTool (same brand) sensors TS100, OE sensors on my Toyota/Lexus, and replacement pre-programmed sensors from another brand. Note on the Lexus, I was experiencing TPMS sensor issues lately and the tool confirmed that one of the sensors (see last picture) couldn't be activated.The box comes with the TPMS tool, a USB charging cable, an OBD2 cable, and various power outlet adapters. The tool is very easy to use. It isn't a touchscreen but I like the physical buttons--when you work on tires and get hands dirty or on gloves, physical buttons work better. :) It's rather straightforward to navigate by following your car's make/model/year. For Activation/Check, the onscreen visual presentation of wheels is easy to follow. For sensor Relearn, it provides additional instructions and steps to follow on your vehicle so follow them to relearn your sensors.Tips on TPMS activation: While some sensors might be ready out of box, usually you need to install them first and inflate the tires before you can activate them. And for better connection/communication, place your tool near the valve stem (where the sensor is) so it's easier for the tool to pick up the signal.Overall, the tools works very well and its antenna picks up activation signals very quickly from the sensors!

So I went out in the snow today to play around with this thing a bit. And to my surprise it works really good. On the cruze it didn't detect all the sensors but could be for a number of reasons (including I am doing it from outside the tire). But on the 22 ford escape it it detected them all very quickly and gave all information as needed.You can easily program their sensors by copying the sensor you currently have either by proximity or by plugging into the ob2 to pull the info. If you have no access to either you can manually program them as well. Now I didn't try any generic sensors to program so unsure of what will happen there.It does have a pretty decent interface though a touch screen would of been preferred for ease and you have to manually pick the mhz which would be nice if it could auto determine from proximity.In my opinion it's pretty good for its price point. And I like how there was a lot of updates available before even using which shows the company is putting out new stuff and seems to care about their products.

It came with minimal instructions, found user manual online, it helped. This was my first time dealing with TPMS sensors, the tool checked the existing sensors, checked the new Toyota OEM sensors that came preprogrammed, installed the new sensors and used the tool to relearn the new sensors. It worked ok, no issues. I have not used the tool to program sensors so I can't evaluate this feature. It is a good value for the price.

Would scan all sensors but would not do the relearn on a 2017 Tacoma. Tried all different settings but none would work and the truck would not recognize any sensor after using this.

I currently have 4 cars in our family, all of which I provide maintenance and repair on, among many others that belong to friends and family. The one thing that I have not messed with up until now, were the TPMS sensors. The most I could do was to test the sensors with a scan tool and attempt to reset them. However, once they have failed, there is no resetting. More than likely, the battery is dead and all you can do is replace the sensors. I decided to eventually take on this job myself as I have access to tire changing equipment. But my primary concern at this time is to purchase a reasonably priced tool that would provide the ability to access TMPS data and provide additional functionality moving forward.When I purchase diagnostic equipment, I like to be somewhat future proof as much as possible. I also wanted a product that I could use in conjunction with my high-end scanner, which happens to be an Xtool (D9). Although I have had excellent experiences with Xtool products and customer service, I am completely open to purchasing from another company if it would best meet my needs, without a doubt. It just so happens that the Xtool product line continues to offer the best balance in value, customer service and capabilities, so I decided to try this product as well. I knew, based on experience, that if I had a problem, or any questions they would work with me to resolve them!So, as indicated, I as always, did a lot of research and found The Xtool TP-150 to be hands-down the most affordable and functional TPMS scanner/programmer in its class. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on a TPMS scan tool, so I decided to purchase the Xtool product. The TP-150 comes in a compact cardboard storage box. It has a solid rubber case for protection that is also removable. This is a great feature that is robust enough to prevent damage if you were to accidentally drop the unit.The first step each time you use the device in my opinion, is to check for and complete any software updates. You can do this either by connecting the device to a computer through a USB port, or via wifi. It is much easier and more convenient to connect to wifi for any current and future updates that may be available. One of the features that attracted me to this Xtool device is that it offers lifetime (COST-FREE) updates! Some companies charge a fee.The TP-150 supports several regions and multiple car brands both domestic U.S. and other countries along with multiple languages. It has an audible beeper that is optional and can be deactivated. I chose to keep mine activated as it helps with testing to hear the noise prompts throughout the process. It also has an optional auto-power setting that can be deactivated or set at ranges from 3, 5, and 10 (minutes), or to not automatically shut off. I found the no shut off option to be more feasible for my usage. I’ll just need to remember to turn it off manually after I’m finished! Here is a rundown of the device’s features.Xtool TP-150 supports (5) different functions:Check: Allows you to check each tire by prompting you to walk around the vehicle and point the device at each valve stem, which is where the TMPS sensor is mounted. It provides a visual display of each tire location which makes the process fun and easy. The results display the sensor’s data, current tire pressure and the current battery life which is extremely helpful information to know.Diagnosis: This feature allows the device to connect to the vehicle through the OBD-2 port and scan the ECU (car’s computer) for any error codes. It provides the sensor ID, tire pressure reading, temperature and power to the sensors. You can also clear the TPMS error code that appears on your dashboard.Programming: Is a feature that allows you to clone your current sensors that need to be replaced and write the data to Xtool’s (TS-100) sensors. It will not allow you to program any other manufacturer’s sensor, however I found that the Xtool sensors are among the lowest priced dual frequency sensors available on the market. I was happy to find that this feature has (4) programming methods that cover every possible scenario.Relearning: Is only used for vehicles that require it and when you are needing to replace multiple sensors, or during tire rotation. Once the sensors are installed on the rims and mounted on the car, the Relearn function captures the data for all sensors as you walk around the vehicle, and stores this information based on the tire location. You can then connect to the vehicles OBD2 port and write the new sensor data to the vehicle’s ECU.Activating: This feature is very helpful if you choose to use universal aftermarket sensors, or OEM sensors that require a (relearning) process. It allows the TP-150 to capture the original sensor’s data and transfer it to the new sensor. This seems to work best if the tire locations have not changed.Sensor Information: Is a very useful feature that allows you to view the the sensor specification that are specific to your vehicle. This includes both OEM and Xtool (TP-100) sensor information.There is also a Recent Test feature that stores any vehicles that you have recently tested. This prevents you from having to conduct another vehicle search.In testing my various vehicles, I decided to compare the results with what I received with the Xtool D9 scanner, and the information was in alignment with the scanners diagnostic report as expected. In addition, the TP-150 provides the current tire pressure reading, and level of battery life available. I found that for my son’s Honda Accord, it showed that the right-side front TPMS sensor was at the end of its lifespan and will need to be replaced in the near future, although the other (3) were still good. With the late model Mercedes, I found that all sensors were functioning and that the battery life was optimal as well..One of the features that I/you would likely use most often, would be having the ability to use this device to quicky check the tire pressure on each wheel. It is much easier than using a tire pressure gauge! I also found that you are not required to use the Xtool TP-100 sensors unless you are (programming) new sensors. You can still use universal and (OEM) sensors by using the device’s Activation feature.I would certainly recommend this product to do it yourself, as well as professional technicians. I have found it to be of high quality, and very useful.
