How to Program New Tire Pressure Sensors For a Lexus or Toyota Using An Autel MaxiTPMS TS508 Tool

How to Program New Tire Pressure Sensors For a Lexus or Toyota Using An Autel MaxiTPMS TS508 Tool

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!

will this tool program all makes of sensors or just read them

@bobbyhoemack6540 says:

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.

@waynetaylor7086 says:

would this tool tell you that you have two tires with 315 mhz and two tires with 433 mhz Not working

Thanks borther why my Toyota Camry I use same tool check dup in my tool what means can you help me

@user-nl6fr3ix1r says:

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

@arthurlunais says:

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?

@user-pv8ek6cm8n says:

Dear sir
Thank you for the video.

Is it possible to program even with tpms installed?

@Paopolomololl says:

Thanks for your video! It was really helpful.

@donniev8181 says:

@mohammedmoaiti4190 says:

@peopleschampgarage7869 says:

@AlexA-wx2ib says:

Can the tool program new oem sensors to a lexus as well?

@bryanjimenez9623 says:

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?
