4.1 TPMS Functions

Access TPMS functions from the main menu by selecting the "TPMS" icon.

4.1.1 Sensor Activation and Data Reading

The tool can activate all known TPMS sensors to read their data, including sensor ID, tire pressure, temperature, battery condition, and OE part number.

1. Select "Activate Sensors" from the TPMS menu.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions to position the tool near each tire's sensor to activate and read its data.

4.1.2 MX-Sensor Programming

The ITS600Pro supports programming Autel MX-Sensors using four methods:

• Auto Create: Generates new sensor IDs.
