How to activate a TPMS sensor

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

In this video we can see how to activate the TPMS sensor before putting it in place inside the wheel of our car. We do not give you an indication on where to purchase the sensors, as each car generally has its own; you can easily find them on any e-commerce site. Instead, we want to give you an indication on the activation device that can be found on Amazon with the code B00LCNQ82I at a price of 169.00 euros including delivery costs. The device will be used to scan the sensor, which is normally dormant when it comes out of the factory, to prevent the batteries from draining, as they are not replaceable. Therefore, let's install them on the wheel, inflate the tires to the operating pressure, and activate them with the appropriate tool after it has been inserted in place.
