ATEQ Quickset TPMS ECU Reset Tool - Coverage for Most Asian Import Vehicles

Worked great. Ordered wheels from tirerack with all needed hardware (new TPMS sensors). They suggested I needed the "ATEQ VT06 SCAN TOOL" but didn't mention the quickset as well. YOU NEED BOTH! The quickset lets you tell your car's ECU (computer) the TPMS sensor numbers for each wheel. It has a limit of 4 total cars remembered in the software with 2 wheel sets per car, so 8 total wheel sets. You need the TPMS sensor numbers in order to make this work. Tirerack ships your wheels with a piece of paper with these numbers written down. I don't know which corner they're on but with a subaru they don't report specific corners anyway so this isn't crucial. I just typed them into random corners. If you buy wheels and don't get these numbers you need a tool that can get them for you.The second part of the equation is you need something to "wake up" the new TPMS sensors. Apparently they're in a "deep sleep" when shipped to save battery life. To do this you need a tool to wake up the sensors. This is what the VT06 scan tool tire rack suggested does. It's a "dumb" tool in that it has a light that comes on but doesn't change. It basically just says the battery is installed correctly and you're pressing the button. But it does work. I have no idea how long I needed to hold it on the sidewall for, but 10 seconds worked (per wheel). You only need to do this ONCE in the life of the wheels (so the first time). After that you just use the quickset each time you switch wheels. You can also use a ATEQ VT31 to do the same task. The VT31 will also give you the sensor numbers for each wheel (and battery life and pressure). If you don't have the TPMS numbers for each wheel you will NEED the VT31. But if you have the TPMS numbers (say from tire rack) you can save money and get the TP6. You can decide if $50 for the "dumb" VT6 is better than $140 for the smarter VT31. For me it comes down to having the TPMS #s or not. I have mine thanks to buying new from tirerack so the cheaper VT6 is good enough.We also have both a key started legacy and a push start outback. The directions walk you through the steps using a key. You just need to have it in ACC mode. With a push start just push the button WITHOUT your foot on the brake pedal. This will put it into ACC mode. I might have needed to press it twice but it works.You also NEED a PC to make this work. I have a mac. Parallels lets you install windows and will allow this to work with a mac. Parallels also has a 14 day trial and will install windows for you. If you need to buy parallels that's another ~$80 for a license. I'll probably need that come spring when I switch back? A laptop makes this MUCH easier as you can have it in the car with you. The software walks you through the process step by step but you do need to plug it into the computer -> car -> computer -> car -> computer. That's a lot of walking if you're using a desktop!And if you're IMPATIENT like me? And drive on your new wheels without all these bits? And the TPMS light comes on every time you start the car? Follow the steps then go drive the car above 30mph. The light will go off and you're all set. But you HAVE to drive it over 30 for it to work. With 1 car I'd driven it over 30 without both parts which set off the TPMS light. Then EVERY time I started the car it'd give me a warning and blink for the first few minutes then stay lit. I had to go drive that car over 30mph after using the quickset to make the warning go away. In the other car that had NOT gone over 30 since the new tires were put on and didn't have the TPMS warning on, all I had to do was use the quickset in the garage and it was fine. I unhooked it and drove it over 30mph and it was fine.So a quick rundown (lots of steps but the software walks you through it all very clearly):Get new wheels.if brand new, get TPMS sensor activated via VT06/VT31you need the sensor #s, get them using a VT31 if not supplied by sellerget your PC out (laptop in car makes this much easier)parallels will work on a MacDL and install their USB driver (google ateq quickset, their site has drivers and software, you don't need the CD)plug in Quickset via USBinstall their softwarefollow all onscreen promptschoose car typeturn car on to ACC mode (motor off)hook quickset to ODBII port (under dash)green LED will flash on quicksetpress summer button (to DL summer #s into quickset)unplug quickset from ODBII (leave cable attached, makes later steps easier)plug quickset into computer via USBtheir software will import summer TPMS #s.type in second wheel set TPMS #s into software (watch for hex/binary checkbox)unplug quickset from computerplug quickset into ODBII portflashing green LED on quicksetpress winter button (this puts new/second TPMS #s into the ECU)green LED should be solid nowunhook ODBII fromProgram asks for quickset to be plugged back into computer via USB, not sure if needed.DONE!go drive over 30mph to verify it worked.

This works and is very fast but comes with a few notes. This is from use on my 2008 Lexus LS600h.You need the code of the sensor. 2 ways to get it. Write it down before installing the sensor or have a handheld TPMS scanner. The ATEQ Quickset DOES NOT read the code. You must program it into the software.Dont forget the spare if your TPMS system tracks it. Mine does. TPMS light did not go away until I added the spare TPMS code.Software is on a disc. Go to the ATEQ website and download if you dont have a disc drive. The website in the packaging no longer works. Verify before downloading you are not getting it from the wrong site.Write the codes to your car profile. Write the codes to the device via USB. Then take to the car and follow the instructions via OBD2port. Programming is very quick. As in 3-5 seconds. Then take device back to the computer which will verify it was done correctly.Highly recommended as it is much easier/fast than using Techstream for Toyota vehicles!

Bought ATEQ QuickSet TPMS Reset Tool for updating TPMS ids on my Honda CRV 2009. Software installation process was a little bit challenging due to outdated driver provided on CD with the item (Windows 7 64-bit). After googling and reading forums found a latest version on ATEQ Web site. And yes, new driver wasn't Microsoft signed, so installed it on my own risk.Device seems to work well with original TPMS ids I have on OEM wheels. Though, completely different story for winter wheels that I recently bought (from big and well known tire distributor). No issue with setting and uploading winter sensor ids to the Tool, but when applied them via OBDII interface, device instead of solid green LED light of success showed a red one. It was able to bring back OEM ids with green LED at the end, but for new sensors it didn't work as expected.Tried to change OEM ids just to check that Tool able to upload anything different from original - this way it uploaded ids, but not the ones that I needed.Decided to buy ATEQ VT30 to check that TPMS ids I tried to apply were the proper ones (originally were provided by tire seller). VT30 were able to identify and read all sensors data including ids which matched to ones I used.Though, winter sensor ids are shorter than OEM, so when displayed in Tool software they have extra zero at the beginning. It looks to me it somehow can be related to the issue. Few days ago submitted an issue request to ATEQ support with all details provided.Didn't get any reply so far. Will update my review if/when get any response from ATEQ.

It's works fine with my 2012 Honda Accord. Downloaded and installed the software as per the info sheet supplied, plugged it into my Windows 10 PC, followed the onscreen instructions and everything worked as advertised. My only 'uh-oh' moment was when it did not work when plugged into Honda's OBDII socket. I pushed the connection together more firmly and the unit then worked fine and I could read the codes from my summer tires/rims. Like most things --- it's very easy to use once you know how. As my winter tires are on their own rims with different TPMS sensors I'll have to have them configured by a garage. But after that I'll be able to read and store the codes with the QuickSet tool and do it myself. Update 2019-11-11: I sometimes find that I have to write the code to my vehicle more than once for it to take. But it usually works fine on the second try. The tire pressure warning light flashes after changing the code between seasons but goes off after driving for 5-10 minutes.

Using it twice a year with a Subaru Forester XT 2014 to upload to vehicle winter/summer tires sensors settings. After getting used to it and the application- very easy to deal with. No need to pay to the workshop to reset sensors.

I bought this item and it arrived in good order. However, I was unable to reset the TPMS light on my 2011 Toyota Highlander, limited edition. The seller was responsive but not helpful. I was advised it had been thoroughly tested on all Toyota Highlanders. After speaking with a friendly technician at a local tire shop, I was told tools like this TPMS reset tool will not work because it can only read / load codes for 4 wheels. My suv requires TPMS codes for all 5 wheels including the spare to be read/loaded each time. This tool cannot do that. I ended up shopping around online and found the Autel TS-501 did a much better job, which I now use for my suv and wife's car as well. If you only have to deal with the TPMS light when switching wheels for just one car, it might be cheaper to just pay the local tire shop $25 each time you swap out your tires. That or put black electrical tape on the dash so you don't see the bright yellow light.

Winter/Summer wheel swaps will never involve the dealer again.My car requires ECU to be programmed to recognise new sensors. This does the job.Works 100% on a 2015 Toyota Yaris

I honestly had no idea how easy it was to do this. It seems like a waste to buy the reader tool now though, as I probably only needed it once.My only regret is that I am buying now, and not 10 years ago when the dealer was charging me $80 a year to reset my sensors. I could have done it myself.
