Step-by-Step Service Workflow

1. Diagnostics & Inspection

  • Select Vehicle: Choose the make, model, and year (TS508WF) or use Auto VIN (ITS600) to ensure correct communication protocols.
  • Trigger Sensors: Place the tool near the valve stem and press the trigger button to wake up the sensor.
  • Analyze Data: View live data including pressure, temperature, and battery life. A slow response or no communication indicates a low or flat battery.

2. Sensor Programming

If a sensor is faulty, program a new Autel MX-Sensor using one of four methods:

  • Copy by OBD: Directly copy ID data from the vehicle’s ECU to the new sensor.
  • Copy by Activation: Trigger the old sensor to retrieve its ID and write it to the new one.
  • Manual Input: Manually type in a known sensor ID.
  • Auto Create: Generate new random IDs for up to 16 sensors simultaneously.

3. Position Relearn

After replacing sensors or rotating tires, perform a relearn to update the ECU:

  • OBD Relearn: Connect the tool to the OBD2 port and write the new sensor IDs and positions directly to the vehicle’s computer.

4. Professional Reporting

  • Standard (TS508WF): Connect to a PC via USB to print or save a report for the customer.
  • Cloud (ITS600): Generate a digital report on the tablet and upload it to the Autel Cloud for instant sharing via email.
Technical Pro-Tip: For modern vehicles with Security Gateways, use the ITS600. It features OEM authentication that allows the tool to bypass restrictions for seamless OBD2 relearns that entry-level tools cannot perform.
