Damn if only i live in your area

 

I'm sure it is easy, but the whole point of this thread is for it to be affordable, not easy. I wouldn't mind paying you or the dealer 20 or even 50 bucks to do this, but over 100 is ridiculous. Too bad you aren't in NJ.

Any NJ locals have a TPMS tool? willing to pay for reset

 

Is this done via the DRB tool? If so, any of you guys Hamish to see if he can snoop the and add support to evoscan? (Manual Serial Number method)..

My assumption is that if he does this, he'll have alot more people buy evoscan..

 

Where in IL are you? I might drive down there to have you read my sensor numbers from the wheels since tirerack will not respond to my emails now.

 

I am up north, close to you I believe. I am either at 60090 or 60048 in IL.


I can have ID numbers off 4 sensors in 1 minute. I will take the tool home and post pics and a vid later.

 

pm'd ya

 

The vid will have to wait till tomorrow. Sorry guys.



Essentially you walk up to each wheel, place the tool onto the TIRE just below the sensor and hit the test button.


The display will tell you:

1. Pressure in that tire
2. Serial number ( some cases even the OEM replacement part number too)
3. Temperature in the tire.

Do this to all wheels. Takes no more than 15 seconds per wheel. There is a beep that lets you know when you are done for each wheel.

After you have all the readings, you simply hook up the cord to the Bartec, and the other end of it is an OBD2 plug which you obviously plug into the port in your car and simply push "Write Current ID's to vehicle", and you are done.


I forgot to mention, the display actually pictures a car with a check next to the wheel you are working on, this is what tells the transmitter in the car where your current sensors are on the car... LF, RF....etc.


I am not a hooligan and will not charge for a service that takes no time. If you are local, I can hook it up.

I will just bring my cam to work tomorrow and demonstrate it for you guys. You guys will want to beat up your local dealers when you see this though.

 

here's a video.

^^pm'd you

pls pls pls

 

Sorry for the delay guys.....



Step one: Turn it on




Step two: Choose the manufacturer you are working on (Mitsubishi in this case)





Step three: Choose the vehicle you are working on( Lancer/Evo)





Step four: Screen prior to testing the sensors (gives the OEM part # and what type of sensor is being used. There are several types of sensors, each have a certain way of being "woken up" or retrained.)




Step five: Sensor training, walk around to each wheel and place the tool against the tire and viola!! You have your sensor ID number and are waking the sensors up as you walk around the car. Simply plug in the scanner to your OBD2 port, and the wheel ID's will be sent to the ECU to let it know where all the wheels are at on your car.




Any more questions?

 

I emailed russ last night and he didn't say anything about them dropping the idea for mitsu support. He told me the manufacturer said by the end of the month. Will check with him again end of november.

hope is not lost

I wonder when someone will develop a cheap application to do this on a PC????

 

I hope that is the case...it seems like that is the only manufacture they are missing for the device.
