    I used them to read TPMS sensors and upload codes to my 2017 Taco. Very easy to use.

    Both for 200.00 shipped.

    Did that unit work with the manufactory TPMS or aftermarket sensors? I have a sensor i need to replace and don’t know if i want OEM or the aftermarket units that are a lot cheaper.

    Those are two dissever units that do the same thing, essentially. The says it may not exist compatable with Japanese vehicles and the is a less sophisticated tool that does the same thing. Did you buy ane and discover it did non do what you needed and buy the second considering of that?

    So the ATEQ Quickset needs a figurer to employ it. Does the Autel TS 401 serve that function? In other words: the two units connect together to perform the chore.

    Not that complicated.

    ATEQ quickset tin can read your ECU and reprogram/upload the TPMS code, simply cant read the TPMS code directly on the tires. That’southward where TS 401 comes in. It reads and activates the TPMS sensors mounted on the tires. I bought the TS 401 to find out the TPMS codes that came with a new ready of tires.

    Terminal fall I successfully used an
    Autel TS401
    (and the ATEQ QuickSet tool) for the first time when I put on my mounted snow tires. After updating the unit software today (V.v.41) the TS401 unit won’t even show a Tacoma equally one of the vehicle options. I so downgraded the software to V3.two just still no Tacoma. Anyone else facing similar issues?

    I answered my own question virtually the
    TS401. I had to downgrade the firmware version to V3.12 to discover a Tacoma listed. Once I did that everything worked merely fine.

    While the 401 works fine, it is a pretty pricey tool for just reading your TPS number and checking the air pressure. And in that location may be alternatives that I am not aware of. Truth be told, somewhere in TW I read almost another member who was using the 401 in combination with the Quickset and took that equally useful advice. A last verdict on the 401 will depend upon a response from the client representative adjacent week, as to why the latest firmware version doesn’t take Tacomas (or Tundras for that affair) in their automobile databank. It was pretty frustrating to have to fourth dimension travel backwards to notice an older version of the download that included a Tacoma.

    Hey Alder,

    Its been a few months. Did client service answer your question? or figure out the issue (No Tacoma, Tundra)
    I was thinking of updating my firmware until I saw your post. Thanks

  15. Simply an FYI. For the Autel if yous don’t run into Tacoma you can utilise any other toyota equivalent that has the same TPMS. I was able to use 4runner and Tundra to pull the TPMS coding. Since I believe they use the same TPMS freq.

    Pitiful to leap in on J2K’s for auction mail service.

    Hey Kenny,
    Did y’all run the firmware update?

    I recall y’all offered help with reading and programming TPMS in the past.

    Have yous dealt with the ECU stuck in loop outcome.

    I take a 06 and I call up I’1000 stuck in the loop since I had a bad sensor and I button the reset to many times.

    I purchase a new TPMS but since I’m stuck Techstream wont read the ECU for some reason.
    My plan was to run the firmware update so I can programme an Autel programmable sensor with the dead sensor ID.

    Anyone else get stuck in the ECU TPMS loop? and how did you correct it?
    Thank you

  17. I think I ran into this effect in one case on an 06 as well. I think I unplugged the battery to reset the computer then ran the programming again. Before y’all run the programming practice the read with the Quickset and see what ID are yet programmed on the reckoner. That will requite y’all a proficient indicator if the computer took the new ID or if information technology didn’t. I call back on ane of the 06 I did the calculator wouldn’t take the ID. Then I pulled the battery and allow the power bleed to reset the computer and tried information technology again. Not sure if this will help. Regarding the update I believe past Autel was on the newest v5.four, just i’ll accept to ostend that. The quickset i’m not sure which version I was on. PM me on the side for any questions.

    I ran into the same issue a couple of you lot are seeing with Tacoma not being listed after a firmware update. I noticed that after the update information technology changed my market to Europe and Tacoma wouldn’t show upwardly I inverse my market back to America in the settings and the Tacoma option popped back up.

    Just an FYI… there is a new update coming (I would guess). I just got a 401 direct from Autel and it has a version up from the one on the website. I was checking to make certain it was up to date and surprised to come across it had a college version number.
