finally made the list, but no lancer

 

ARE YOU F'ING KIDDING ME!!!!!! The lancer is mitsus bread and butter car. WTF....what is so difficult about the Lancer. This is SOOOOO frustrating!!!
Well I give up...you win....I will not give my money...yes that is right...I was willing to give you money for your device....and now I will drive around with the stupid light on.
Thanks for nothing!!!!

(sorry for the rant...I had to vent)

 

i hope the evo makes i on the list

 

If the Lancer did not make it..... I would not hold your breath.

 

I think once the the lancer makes the list, us evo owners will be good to go since the the evo ECU is probably close enough to that of the regular lancer. The pressure monitors themselves are the same model #, so the TPMS systems can't be far off.

I'll have you know Jim Chen, Russ Fuller, and the rest of the ATEQ engineers are working around the clock into the late hours of the night to add lancer support to the quickset. Its just a matter of time....

 

Guys,


NONE of ATEQ's cheaper equipment will rid you guys of the light. None of them have the ability to COMMUNICATE with the ECU, EXCEPT the ATEQ VT55.


Just an FYI, that tool costs $1200. It does have an OBDII connector, so it will work.



There are MANY types of TPMS systems. Honda/Acura, tire light goes on, fill up with air, light goes off. Rotate the tires, the vehicle learns on its own where the wheels are, no need to reset.

BMW/Mercedes, just scroll through the on board menu screens, hit re learn....you're done.


Now Mitsubishi is a whole different story, (like many others) if you get a flat or rotate your tires, YOU MUST HAVE A TOOL THAT WILL NOT ONLY READ THE ID'S OFF OF THE SENSORS, THE TOOL MUST HAVE A WAY OF WRITING THEM BACK TO THE CAR. YOU CANNOT DO THIS WITHOUT COMMUNICATING WITH THE VEHICLE.


Copied from another site:


On top of the US manufactured vehicles, the ATEQ’s VT55 OBDII reprograms Asian or European vehicles (including Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, Mitsubishi etc) which do not feature a TPMS self reprogramming software.
ATEQ’s VT55 OBDII includes a universal OBD connector which connects to the vehicle ECU via CANbus and K-line.

Tecnitians only have to select the make of the vehicle and press the START button. It is that easy and fast to accurately activate and decode TPMS sensors and display their data or any faults they may have.
Training is nearly inexistant as the whole process is displayed on-screen.So even the newest recruted technician can use the VT55 OBDII.

 

???????????

ATEQ's TPM Quickset is the first DIY Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) re-learn tool. It is a PC based tool. Simply follow the 5 easy steps below.
1. Load the software on your PC by following the on screan instructions
2. Input in your sensors ESN's into the software.
3. Connect the On Board Diagnostic (OBD) adapter to your computer with the USB cable.
4. Load the ESN's into the OBD adapter.
5. Connect the OBD adapter to the ODB plug under your dash and with the press on one button your ESN's will be loaded into your cars ECU.
The complete instruction manual is available at our web site http://www.tpmssource.com/quickset/usermanual

 

^^^^^^^


Find it hard to believe that tool will do anything except frustrate people.


I'm wondering how that tool stores any info, and how you would know what wheel to go to. There is nothing to prompt you.







I have been wrong before, I wish you guys the best. I am willing to bet that the tool posted above will not work.

 

so will this one work? anyone tried it out-? and whats the cost?

 

This tool relies on you already knowing the serial numbers.

You have to already know the serial numbers of each TPMS sensor and which corner of the car that sensor is on.

You type those serial numbers into the application you run on your PC (which probably has a little diagram of a car, and blanks next to each wheel), upload the data to the tool via USB, then plug the tool into your car's OBD port and upload the serials to the car.

This could work just fine if you have two sets of wheels, and you already know the serial numbers of all 8 sensors, and you can keep track of which wheel each serial number goes with (even through rotations and tire changes, etc).

 

^ that. You need to know the serial numbers of your new sensors. You can pull the serial numbers of the original sensors from the ECU and look at them via PC if you haven't yet reprogrammed your TPMS system, and you'll be set for those two sets of sensors

At this point, its not really a question of if/how this tool works. Its been used by a good amount of people who put writeups on accord and toyota forums. The only issue now is when it will be updated for compatibility with the lancer/evo

 

Accord do not need resets, and Toyotas you simply press a button to reset.


Again, I have been working with TPMS systems for years, I don't want to sound like a negative Nancy in regards to your findings, I wish you guys the best.

 

Thanks for looking out for us, it does seem a little too good to be true with the huge price gap between the quickset and the other tools, but i'm not making this stuff up:

Let me begin by giving some background. I recently purchased a 09 Highlander. Prior to doing so, I did a great deal of reading and research about TPMS sensors for the set of winter wheels I had picked out. I learned that my HL, like many vehicles, will not automatically reset the ECU to new TPMS sensors when swapping between winter and summer wheels, or after rotations.

First I've seen of this. Can't believe I haven't heard about it previously as it sounds like a real PITA.
