How to Program New Tire Pressure Sensors For a Lexus or Toyota Using An Autel MaxiTPMS TS508 Tool
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 сен 2022
- Welcome to my last and final 4th generation Lexus GS step by step DIY video. I will still make videos, but they will no longer be the detailed step by step format from the past. I just don't have the time or resources to continue to make these types of videos anymore. Plus, my Lexus DIY videos seem to attract more critics than thank-yous. I started this channel with the mission to help others repair their cars and hopefully I was able to accomplish that with some viewers. For the people who have supported me, I truly appreciate it, but its time for me to move on. Hopefully you enjoy my last GS350 step by step DIY video.
The tire pressure sensors in our 2013 Lexus GS350 are starting to fail and are in need of replacement. In this video I show you how I programmed 4 new tire pressure sensors and linked them to the car's computer using an Autel MaxiTPMS TS508 tool. I think you will be very surprised on how easy this is to do!
The tool I used can be found here:

Thanks for posting a great video. It's very helpful and the details were good. I just purchased the tool and 4x sensors (via your link). Apparently Amazon is packaging the tool and 4 sensors for $339. They don't have the tool with 8x sensors anymore.
@@darylvoorhees2629 Hi Daryl! I really appreciate the support! I'm not used to comments like this. The comments I normally get are to criticize the work I do instead of saying thank you! I'm glad this video was helpful!
@@DIYDanCars it was very helpful in fact, better seeing someone using the tool, the way you have instead of reading the documentation in their users guides.
You should do a video on the road force balancing
Thank you sir,
For a better how to vid than Autel did.
No LOUD music drowning out your voice, straight to the point descriptions and explanations even Cave Man like me can understand 👍
I just ordered the same tool with 8 sensors for my Subaru, but also fit my own tyres after refurbishing my winter wheels with a nice Japanese super glossy black 2K paint job.
Being Cave Man, I'll have take them get balanced still.👣
I hear 👂 yah. Don’t know why people amp up the music speakers 🔊 on a tutorial
This is by far the best how to program tpms video. The tutorial was easy to understand and demonstrating the 2 different options made it even better. The mistake of programming one of the sensors to the same position was a good mistake. Now we know the sensors can be reprogrammed again without any issues. Thank you for making this video.
What an awesome video. I ordered the Autel MaxiTPMS off Amazon, received it today and just programmed 4 of the 8 sensors for my Lexus. Will be taking them in tomorrow to have them installed. Thanks for the recommendation and the video. Very clear cut and concise 👍👍
Did you also buy their sensors?
@@DavidLee-vp3nr the sensors were included… 8 of them. I had 4 of them installed the next day ($25 each including rotating my tires) and they work great. My only regret is that I bought it off Amazon for about $390.. I could have gotten it cheaper for $300 if I had just googled. Someone else had them for cheaper.. but I still came out way ahead from what the dealer wanted to charge me to replace 4 sensors at $1000
The best video ive seen on the Autel tpms tool and cloning sensors!
Thank you for the info! PLEASE DONT LET THE NEGATIVE CLOWNS STOP YOU FROM HELPING OTHERS.....
This is the best video I ever saw
Thanks for your video! It was really helpful.
Love your red 1st gen MR2 in the background.
For my 2013 Lexus GS; i had to tell the Autel unit that it was a 2015+ for it to work
Thank you for this video.
My company just purchased this and it's so difficult for me I like to Snap-On scanner I'm used to that one but the new one they having I'll tell they want everybody so I'm paying close attention to both of the first one you showed me is from the program that's in the vehicle and I like to know how to use the other way to thank you appreciate your time you're doing a great job by the way 😎
Thank you for creating this video I was at my wits end trying to find a solution after putting 20" aftermarket wheels on my toyota sienna. Will give this a try.
No problem 👍
Shame that you get more criticisms than thank yous for your videos but I want to personally thank you for your your work. I have the same model and year GS. I love the car and have been able to save a lot of money by changing my own oil and spark plugs so far. I have a bad tpms sensor in one of the tires and its cheaper to buy this tool and sensor and do it myself than the price I was quoted to have it done by the dealership. Thank you thank you thank you.
Thank you! I really appreciate the kind words! That's great! I'm glad the video helped you get the job done. That's what this entire channel has been about -- helping people maintain their cars. Glad to hear it's paying off.
Thanks for sharing! This is very good and helpful information!
YOU ARE THE MAN! THANK YOU SO MUCH
this video is honestly very helpful very glad i found this video i have the same tool✍🏻👍
Hey, Dan! Great video! I put 50 PSI tires on my Lexus IS250, do you know how to change the native TPMS accepted PSI from the default 35 PSI to 50 PSI?
Very well explained. Does this unit work on Honda CR-V 2011 and Mitsubishi RVR 2013? Thanks
Excellent video thanks for the insights!
So can I program the sensors and put them in my winter rims and remount the tires and when I install my winter tires in the fall everything will work fine even though they haven’t been installed on the car until winter?
Informative explanation thanks alot
just bought winter tires with sensors but sensors not communicating with my tpms so it lights up in the dash. Should I relearn or clone from my summer tpms valves that are working and that I will re-install in the summer ? txs so much
Dear sir
Thank you for the video.
Is it possible to program even with tpms installed?
My sensors were OEM from the dealer who used the VIN to program them for me. In this case the Advanced-Position Relearn-OBD approach works better rather than the Quick function.
No problem! Use whatever works best for your application.
I believe the copy sensor ID method is overall the best approach. First of all, the car computer is not involved at all. This is good if you have a brand new model such as the 2023 Toyota Crown, the Autel tool might not have the vehicle in the drop down list to select. Secondly, cloning means that you can keep multiple sets of wheels, such as summer and winter sets and just swap the wheels the TPMS would work flawlessly.
Just did the update and Toyota Crown 2023 is listed FYI. Did mine 👍
Thanks Dan!
No problem!
amazing that was helpful
Hi Dan! Very informative and great to watch after purchasing the tool. Did you create the second video by chance ? As the vehicle I am repairing is under the second method you mentioned
I didn't. I only demonstrate the cloning method in this video, but starting from scratch is just as simple.
Great video, thanks! Can you program a new unprogrammed Autel sensor that has already been installed in a wheel/tire? Thank you sir.
Thanks for this one!!!
No problem!
Thank you sir ! Autel TPMS College course 101 in 16 minutes 😊
Happy to help!
Dan,
I have a 2022 Toyota Tacoma . Can I duplicate the sensors ID on the Tacoma to a new Mx sensor. ?
I do not want to use the oem sensor on a 4 sets of wheel rims. I’m keeping the stock tires only 6k miles on it 😊
@@JPHET37 Absolutely! If you can program sensors for a Bugatti Veyron, then you can definitely program sensors for a Tacoma!
Hi Dan I am from portugal got problem with my Peugeot 508 sw 2015 by upgrading my wheels FROM (16 TO 17) with my TPMS ANY TIPS
Can you make a video for changing brake fluid? Thank you!
I spent about $275 for winter to summer tire swap with tpms reprogramming on 2011 lexus is250 awd. May get the autel 508
No doubt its a very handy tool.
Changed our winter tires with tpms at our dealer to all season tires with tpms as well. Dealer reprogrammed the tires when they installed them. Do I have to do this everytime I swapped tires assuming all the 8 tpms sensors are working?
I don't completely under stand the question. If you have one set of wheels that have MX sensors installed and 2 sets of tires (winter and summer), then no you shouldn't have to reprogram the sensors every time you swap tires. If you have two sets of wheels and tires, one a set is for summer and another set is for winter and both sets use unique sensor IDs, then yes you will have to perform the "relearn" procedure every time you swap wheels and tires. I got around this by programming both my winter and summer set of wheels and tires with the same unique IDs. Hope this helps.
Great video...
Question, can I replace a dead tpms sensor by using a non MX-SENSOR , I mean can I use an old tpms sensor that was already use in another car of a different brand?
The Autel tool will only program Autel branded sensors.
How can I just replace one dead tpms sensor and if the other three are good?
Thank you
Thanks alot for your explenations very helpfull, but i have a problem downloading the sensors ids from ecu, i got onlyn3 ids FL,FR and RR. The RL id is not showing can you help? Its a 2015 dodge ram 1500, thanks
Battery is probably dead in the RL sensor. You can connect the tool to the car's OBDII port and download the codes from the car's computer.
I have two complete sets of rims mounted with OEM Toyota TPMS Sensors. Can I use the the Autel tool you used in the video to relearn the OEM Sensor ids when I swap my rims?
Autel claims it works with 99% of sensors and vehicles. I bought 4 and just cloned them for my winter steelies. Be aware, if you park near where your other set is stored it may give a false reading until you drive away. Meaning if you got a flat over night it could read the inflated tire stored near by ;) That was older sensors tho... May have changed
This tool will only program Autel sensors so as long as those sensors don't need programing you will be fine.
Can I program an OEM genuine Toyota valve for my Rav 4?
A++++video
Thank you!
To clone new sensors like you did from what i read on Autel site it has to be autel brand sensors, for any others brand aftermarket sensors the ''start fresh method ' rule has to be done ,did i understand correct? Thanks
Hey that's what I want to know can it program other brands of sensor. And if so how do you do ???
This tool will only program Autel branded sensors which I stated in this video.
Can you relearn oem sensor with this AUTEL tool?
can you get the TMPS code from a sensor that has a dead battery? will the tool work with any brand of sensor?
Yes, you can get the TPMS code by getting it from the car's computer -- pretty sure I show you this process in this video.
This tool will read all automotive brand sensors but can only program Autel sensors.
Does this Autel tool be used to read or program any brands of tpms or only autel tpms?
You need to use Autel branded sensors. They are much cheaper than OEM.
Nice. I didn't want to deal with programming so I put new batteries in the old sensors!
I didn't think the original sensors allowed for battery replacements.
@@DIYDanCars It's not difficult if handy. Just need a stanley knife, the correct CR battery with solder tabs and some glue to seal it back up! Love your content.
@@cwang6951 Nice job! I like your style! I took the easy route and spent $120 on 4 new sensors. Yes, I'm lazy. ;)
what do you do if you order new wheels and tires that are mounted and balanced already with new sensors installed already?
Perform the relearn method from the main menu. That way the car will know what the new sensors are from your new wheels and tires.
How do you program with this tool to your ecu if they were installed prior by a tire shop ?
Exactly
this whole concept is just insane .... wish i could just bypass the whole system 😅😂😊😮😢
Its actually quite easy to perform once you understand how the tool works. It now takes me less than 15 mins to program sensors and link them to the car's computer.
There is a way you could bypass it all as long as you're okay to visually inspect and gauge your tire pressure. I still have a few cars that don't have tpms so this would be normal for me. Hit me up if you want to know. I don't want to spam on OP's post. He did a great job at it.
It does sound complicated. But once you actually do it in hand with the device, it is rather simple. As a consumer AND employee of Autel, we try to make sure to make these steps as simple as possible. If you ever have any questions, our tech support will always be able to walk you through the steps in just a few minutes time. 😊
Does this have to be with a Autel maxi sensor ?
Or could you use a different brand sensor ? I have a REDI sensor , should that work?
Autel tool only programs Autel MX sensors.
I have question! Is the sensor you have is preprogram? I can not program mine
This tool will ONLY program Autel branded sensors.
I own a 22 GX460. I lifted and bought new off road tires. I had the sensors transfer to new tires including spare. After installing the tires I realized that oversized wheel won’t fit until GX(as it did in my 4Runner). As of now I’ll be keeping the stock until I buy a tire carrier for the bigger tire. Since I had already transferred the sensors I bought a new matching Lexus sensor for the original spare which I’ll be keeping under. Basically 4 sensors will be the original and 1 will be new. Since it’s factory matching sensor do I still need to program the TPWS? Or it’s plug and play?
Programming of the sensors is required. The Autel tool will only program Autel sensors.
@@DIYDanCars Actually it’s not required to program the car’s computer if you are installing the exact same part number. I installed the matching sensor (same part number from Lexus) and after driving over 50 mph for 10 minutes the computer recognized the sensor.
@@kamrouzsaifi3845 This is incorrect. Even the Lexus shop manual states that the TPMS sensors need to be programmed before installing them.
Hi, great video. Can The tool only work with Autel sensors?
Thanks! As stated in the video it can read any TPMS sensor but can only program Autel branded sensors.
Tire shop installed autel mx sensors the other day that they apparently didn’t program with the car because they are not registering with the car but they say their machine scans the sensors but this scanner you mention in the video I have that as well but it won’t trigger any of the sensors when I try on each tire so is there something to do to possibly wake them up? Besides just the trigger button.
Start watching the video at 2:43.
Thanks I remember watching that first time and never thought about doing that. Thanks for the reminder.
i has the same problem with the new tool but i set up date and time and star working find
It’s just an annoying warning light, I have a 2010 ES 350 that somehow still has all of its TPMS sensors working but it’s way cheaper to just keep a digital tire gauge & air compressor in the trunk. When the light eventually comes on permanently, I’ll live with it.
I myself bought this tool and was impressed but I've been having trouble trying to program one of our vehicles and that is the 2008 Acura TSX. I don't know what I am doing wrong but it just doesn't want to dance with that car. Could be me, I dunno but it's driving me nuts
Oh man that sucks! Did you contact Autel support? When I had a few questions about the tool they were very responsive. It might be worth a shot?
My rear tires have the same I'd tool reads duplicate id.. is there a way to fix that or just replace 1 of them with a new sensor? Thx
Why not reprogram that last sensor with a new unique ID and then bind it to the car? Problem solved. :)
@@DIYDanCars how do I do that? Do program sensor then do by activation? I have to let the air out below 10 psi?
@@DIYDanCars or can I do auto create and scan sensor still in tire inflated if I turn off the tpms prog ? Thx for ur help
I have a 2013 Toyota Avalon and purchased the TS508 tool and 4 new Autel sensors. Programmed them easily and had them installed in my wheels when I had new tires installed. The issue I'm having is clearing the low pressure waring light on the dashboard. I have tried to use the TPMS reset button on the car but no luck reseting the warning light. Is there anything else you can suggest or is disconnecting the battery the last thing to try? Thanks
Hi Dayrl, have you tried airing the tire? If the low pressure light is still on, then you must have a tire with low tire pressure! If you look in the driver's side door jam there should be sticker telling you the proper tire pressure for you car.
@@DIYDanCars all tires are inflated to 35#. I checked the pressure with the TPMS tool and a mechanical tire pressure gauge. I will have to disconnect the battery and try it again
@@darylvoorhees2629 What pressure does the car tell you the tire is inflated at. If the tire is at 35# like you said, then a low pressure warning light shouldn't luminate. I wonder if you received a bad sensor?
Does the tool work for all brand sensors?
Or only Autel sensors
Only Autel sensors. I mention this in the video too.
What happen if I already install the all new tpms in the car already what should I do?
Watch the video at 2:42 seconds. I talk about that scenario in this very video.
did you use oem tpms for relearn? since the oem tpms already has ID on it. I know you can only program autel tpms
You can program other brands too, it’s hit and miss
i want to use this in india and there are no indian cars mentioned in menu. can i straight up copy program and re write onto a new sensor without choosing a vehicle? direct bypass kinda
I don't see why not, but can't guarantee it will work.
If you have blank sensors it stands to reason LF RF etc wouldn't matter. Plus they will be out of order as soon as you rotate.
I didn't start with a blank sensors hence the reason I labeled them. The car will automatically pickup the new sensor location when you rotate the tires.
Would this work on Toyota RAV4 2015?
If this tool can work with a Bugatti Veyron, then this tool can definitely program TPM sensors for a RAV4.
Thanks borther why my Toyota Camry I use same tool check dup in my tool what means can you help me
No problem! Happy to help!
Is the Autel universal? Meaning can I buy tire pressure sensors that are not autel brand and use it?
You need to buy Autel branded sensors if you are using the Autel programmer.
Trying to copy 2018 Corolla sensors to the same. Comes up no sensor or deflate. I deflated and it still can’t find the sensor. Any ideas please?
It sounds like the sensors are already in the car? If so, follow the video from the 2:42 second mark. You need to turn TPMS prog limit to "off" in order to program sensors that have already been installed in an inflated tire.
What is the magnetic used for
Some brands use a magnet to activate the sensors with.
Does this come with the OBD II dongle?
The more expensive Autel TS601 tool includes the ability to read OBD codes. This model, the Autel TS508, does not read OBD codes.
The Autel TS601 OBD2 scan tool is a diagnostic tool that can perform a wide range of functions, including reading and clearing codes, retrieving live data, and performing OBDII diagnostics. However, it does not have an automatic scanning feature. You will need to manually initiate the scan by selecting the appropriate option from the menu.
I have a 2019 colorado that the sensors taken out...trying to fit 4 new autel sensors but none of the sensors is working to the scan tool..the sensors have been installed on mags...
It sounds like you may have skipped through this video? If the scan tool isn't reading the sensors that are already installed in an inflated tire that can only mean one thing. Rewatch this video at 2:41 mark and I show you how to setup the tool to read and program sensors in an already inflated tire.
hi, can you add a new toyota sensor to your toyota car using that? i have a sensor which run out of battery - got a new toyota sensor (which has a hardcoded sensorID on it) and need to add it to the car...
I understand that the Autel TS508 tool used here in this video does read the code (programmed information) on the new preprogrammed sensors, and then by plugging the Autel TS508 tool into the car's OBD port, that information can be transferred into your car's TPMS.
This tool can read sensor information from OEM sensors but it cannot program OEM sensors. This tool will only program Autel sensors as stated in this video.
What happen if u already installed the sensors in ur car how do u program it
Same way. Read the old ESNs (Electronic Serial Number) from the car via OBD-II. Turn off the pressure thing in the TS-508 he covered first thing in the video (but didn't fully explain why, for what he did he didn't need it off, lets you initialize or change an ESN in a tire without deflating). Then go around to each wheel and write (copy, program) the data (ESN and the protocol your car needs to speak) into the sensor in each inflated tire.
Can the tool program new oem sensors to a lexus as well?
This tool will only program Autel branded sensors.
Nice! What I want to know ....can you program 8 unique sensors (summer and winter set) to avoid reprogramming every season? I usually take it to Sam's $35 for the new sensor, installed and delivered. Costco charges around $70. Even though tool is cool you are paying the tire shop to install it anyway. I think wholesale club is the way to go since tpms sensors don't go out too often.
Yes, you can program 8 unique sensors. We actually do that now. I have 2 sets of wheels and tires (winter and summer). All you have to do is write the car's computer with the new unique ID's every time you swap wheels/tires.
I just bought a new 2023 Toyota Highlander, I have a winter set of tires from my old 2017 Toyota Highlander, which I plan to use on the new one. Do I need to reprogram the old sensors or just hit the reset button in my new Highlander to learn the winter set of codes? Thank you.
Hi. Just a thought for anyone interested. You always have the option to deflate the tire and break the bead yourself to install the sensor. I gave it a shot and it was pretty easy. There are a lot of videos on various was to do this. I just did it with some large clamps I already owned and a 2x4. Broke the bead and installed the sensor. The one I was replacing weighed within grams of each other so I didn’t mess with balancing. It all went well and I learned something new along the way.
Install yourself it’s easy
@@DIYDanCars or you can clone 1 set the same as the other and you'll never have to write to the car's computer until it goes bad.
My question is can I only change 1 sensor? And how do I know which one is dead?
Yes. You know because it is the one the tool cannot read
How did you know that your sensors were 315 megahertz? Also I had the new sensors installed already before buying the tool or seeing your video. Can I copy by OBD from outside the wheel by the air valve or do I need to remove it and insert it on the tool?
The tool will tell you what frequency the TPMS sensors are using. You can program the sensors while being installed in the tire or outside of the wheel. Whatever you prefer.
What if it has files for both megahertz. How do you know
@@bayouranch By scanning the original sensor. Scanning it will tell you what frequency it operates on.
My sensors were dead. I went into the computer system. And I chose the first one.
The 315 megahertz
Can you program the new sensor that’s already in tire?
Yep, I discuss this in the first half of the video. You will need to change some settings on the tool in order to program sensors that have already been installed in an inflated tire.
will this tool program all makes of sensors or just read them
It will read any brand sensor but will only program Autel branded sensors as stated in the video. The Autel sensors sell for $30 each.
Is their a tool that can program all major brands of sensors
I have the same tool, but then scanning the ID using the OBD port, does not identify the rear TPMS id, only the two front ones. Any idea why?
Without the OBD I could scan one of the rear sensors, as one is dead.
I now have 3 sensor id but miss one. How can I clone it without the id?
I believe the old factory-installed Tire Pressure Sensors each have their ID Code printed on the outside of the sensor. Once that old sensor is removed, that number can be used to program the new sensors. However, the new sensors for this tool to perform its sensor programming function. That bit of information is glossed over (briefly noted) in most videos produced on the subject. Dan does mention it though. You can purchase OEM tire pressure sensors which are preprogrammed for the correct tire pressure, too. Then all you have to do is tell your car computer what ID code each new sensor has. This tool can perform that function, too.
If I understand you right, when you use the "Copy by OBD" function it only retrieves the sensor codes for the front tires and not the rear tires? If so, that means someone deleted the sensor IDs for the rear wheels from the car's computer. If you walk around the car scanning the sensors are you able to detect the unique IDs for the rear wheels?
would this tool tell you that you have two tires with 315 mhz and two tires with 433 mhz Not working
Yes, this tool can trigger the sensors to find out what frequency they operate on.
So when I try to copy it gives me an error 1-no sensor detected . Sensor being programmed is not Mx sensor etc
In the video I mention that this programmer will ONLY program Autel branded sensors.
What tire shop? Le’s Schwab told me they would not install using tpms sensors I bring in.
Both Discount Tire and Belle Tire had no problems installing my TPMS sensors.
The "Reset" Button under the dash of Toyota/Lexus models will not reset the Computer... all it will do is reset the set pressure to activate the low tire light.
For example... if you have your tires at 30 psi when you press and hold the reset button, it will have the light come on 5 psi less than that (25 psi)... if your tires are set to 40 psi when you press and hold the button, the light will now come on when the tire is deflated to 35 psi.
Interesting because my shop manual states something different. It will also resync communication between sensor and transmitter.
@@DIYDanCars Try it, It wont. it only does what I explained. This comes from a toyota, lexus master tech.
@@1jzMKIII My apologies. I was only relying what my shop manual stated.
I heard Nissan / Infiniti is NOT friendly with this Autel product... Is it true?
I haven't heard that.
Autel tpms 408 can ?program university sensors
Autel tools can program Autel branded sensors. The TS508 can write the sensor codes (HEX IDs) to the car's computer and the TS40x cannot.
Can you do this with them on the car
Yes. I talk about this at the 2:42 second mark in this video.
@@DIYDanCars I ended up buying one and it's so easy and now I don't have to deal with the slow tire shop swapping my summer to winter tires all the time on my vehicles.
I am having issues with my Autel, with an autel sensor...and I know it's my fualt. IDK what Im doing wrong. But i got the bigger model.
Interesting. I haven't had any problems with mine. I wonder if you received a faulty sensor?
@@DIYDanCars no. It was me. It was never set up to read the spare in the rav4. So, I read it and had no issues since.
@@cliffjumper1984 Glad you got it figured out.
Got 4 new tires at tire shop in wife’s 2014 Lexus is250… now sensors are not reading! Shop acting like it was like that before! Guess I’m going to spend money
Why did you change them out if each sensor could be read?
You must have been skipping through the video if you are asking me this.
same question
@@kinlay2381 I have mentioned why I had to change them out several times in the video. The reason is because the sensors were working intermittently. I guess I need to stop doing videos like this because no one seems to watch them anyways. LOL!
@@DIYDanCars Thanks for the explanation. I thought you change it because the Autel machine only able to read the psi from the Autel sensors only. But it seems you change the sensor because there is an issue with your previous sensors. Also, I don't understand what "intermittently" mean until I google it. Sorry for my lack of vocabulary knowledge.
@@kinlay2381 Sure, no problem! Intermittently means that the sensors would work only some of the time.
don't need the cloning method. I need the method with using oem type sensors that have I.D. numbers thanks
Then this video isn't for you. This tool only works with Autel branded sensors.
How many miles does your cat have?
It just crossed 120k miles.
@@DIYDanCars nice looking at getting one with 110k. Thoughts?
@@ifratnabo8736 Personally I don't like to buy used cars with more than 50k miles on them. You should have a mechanic you trust look over the car before purchase, especially if there is no service history.
New sensors
10:30 for obd id retrieval
FYI. If your TPMS sensor stopped working, you can get the ID from the label on the sensor itself!
(Unless it's programmable).
Why would you change the sensors when your car had like 2k miles?
Also you can't program sensors while already installed
Comments like this are the reason I'm no longer making DIY videos. I don't even know where to begin... Wow!
Tire shop screw up lol..there is no reason for red dots at the valve stems..it should be the yellow dots at valve stem..yellow is light spot, red is maximum runout and should be matched with dimple on rim..road force balance would used when there is no dimple or you can’t locate the low spot of the wheel and or high spot of tire
What I've seen is some brands use yellow dots others red. Never seen both on a tire but can't say I've seen thousands.
The reason to put the dot by the tire valve is because consumers will think you did a bad job if you didn't. The OE (not just OEM) factory mounted tires on my F-150 have dots no where near the valve stems.

Well you are completely wrong and uninformed. This is very simple. Yellow dots are for weight method. It’s the lightest spot on the tire and to be matched with valve stem. The red dot is the high spot of the tire and should be matched with the low spot of the wheel, high quality wheels will have a mark for this.
Some tires have one or both dots and some have none …red dot method if the tire low spot is known is best to use because no amount of weight can compensate for runout
So much bad info here shit the hell up people

why do mechanics even need to clone sensors even if they have this tpms programmer
Mechanics will sometimes clone a sensor if their tool can't write to the car's computer. Not all tools can write to the cars computer and that's what makes the Autel tool so great.
Tool is aroind 150$ is there cheaper tool
