How to Activate a TPMS Sensor

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Tire pressure warning light

Video tutorial

In this video, you can see how to activate the TPMS sensor before placing it inside the wheel of your vehicle. We won't provide guidance on purchasing sensors, as each vehicle typically has its own; you can easily find them on any e-commerce site.

Instead, we want to give you information about the activation device available on Amazon with the code B00LCNQ82I at the price of £169.00 including delivery. This device will be used to scan the sensor, which is normally dormant when it leaves the factory to prevent the batteries, which are non-replaceable, from draining.

Install them on the wheel, inflate the tyres to the operating pressure, and activate them with the appropriate tool after it has been placed in position.
