There are no teleporters in New Jersey. If there were, the state would be empty by now.

"I'm from outer space; I only work in Iowa."

 

I have a tpms reader as well.

 

Glad I could help out, good to hear everything worked!

 

I'm in the process of buying an Evo with aftermarket rims with no TPMS, can someone besides the dealer get the codes from the ECU or do I have to take it in? Do tire shops read the codes from the wheels from some sort of scanner at the wheel or via ODBII?

 

Any shop that has a tpms tool can.

 

Update. I just programmed my sensors without needing a VIN #. You don't need the VIN number to program the sensors. You can put in the year and model directly, there is an alternate page in the latest software to do it.
BTW, no 2012's yet.

 

Mitsu dealer can read the stored codes in ECU via ODBII port for $30. Get the dealer to put in new TPMS numbers for $100, it's cheaper than buying the $200 sensit programming tool. Glad to see you're getting an Evo... I have an S2000 in my garage waiting for engine #3. Got sick of the twitchy handling, wised up and bought an Evo.

 

If the (new-to-you) car's wheels do not have sensors in them, then there is nothing to read and nothing you can do to make the warning light go away. At least, not anything easy.

 

I can get the ID numbers through the OBDII port with my Snap-on scanner which would be helpful to those that buy a car with no sensors on it. Easiest route to go is a tire shop.

 

Yep - I just did the same for a forum member - the updated software allows entering model and make.
Funny they did this but they did not update the vin database - I tried inputting a 2011 vin and it didn't take it, I was going to put in different vin when I saw the other menu that allows entering make and model.

If anyone needs sensors programmed I can get a set of 4 programmed sensors and valves shipped to you for $249, no need to buy the programming tool just pm me your codes - or if you are in the NYC area and you have alligator sens it sensors that need programming HMU and I will program them - no charge for programming -
you will need the codes before hand though.

 

Thanks for the info, I think I'll get my local shop to read the codes from the ECU and have one of the people on here with the programming tool get the codes in. I can probably get my shop to throw it in for free while doing some other work. I'm assuming that's cheaper than having the stealership put all new sensors in.

 

Your typical shop cannot read the codes from the ECU; they can only read them from the sensors. It takes a Mitsu-specific tool to "talk" to the ECU.

 

Twice now I have had members send me their TPMS codes to program a set of sensors for them and I have run across a situation where two of the 4 sensors have the same code. I haven't heard back from them yet as it has happened recently.

Does anyone know if this is a common thing?


Edit. Now we know that duplicate codes happen when there is an error reading codes. You need to have 4 unique codes for the sensors to work

 

This happened to me when I went to a goodyear to try and get the codes. i think the guy ultimately failed if I remember correctly, but at some point he was confused and told me that 2 of the codes were the same

 

Does anyone know if I can still get the codes from the car if the wheels with the correct sensors aren't currently attached to the car? (I have the TPMS light on right now)
