Autel TS408 TPMS Diagnostic & MX-Sensor Programmer — Handheld TPMS Activator, Lifetime Updates

The Autel TS408 is a compact TPMS activation, diagnostic, and MX-Sensor programming tool that reads sensor ID, pressure, temperature and battery, and programs Autel MX-Sensors with guided relearn procedures.

The TS408 condenses essential TPMS functions into an affordable, easy-to-use handheld unit. Designed to activate virtually all known tire sensors, display live TPMS data, and program Autel MX-Sensors in multiple ways, it streamlines routine tire service tasks for DIYers and shops alike. Lifetime software updates and clear on-tool instructions reduce guesswork and keep the tool current with new vehicles.

How does the TS408 identify and report TPMS faults?

The TS408 activates sensors and retrieves live telemetry so you can see whether a tire needs air, a sensor has a dead battery, or a sensor ID has gone missing. It reads pressure, temperature, sensor ID and battery status and presents the results on a bright color display.

• Activate ALL known sensors by selecting Make/Model/Year
• Display sensor ID, pressure (psi/bar), temperature, and battery condition
• Quickly distinguish between low-pressure, sensor failure, or valve issues

What programming methods does the TS408 use for Autel MX-Sensors?

The tool supports three programming workflows so you can match the job: copy by activation, copy by manual input, or auto-create for batch programming up to 16 sensors. These methods make swapping or cloning MX-Sensors flexible for single wheels or full-vehicle sensor sets.

• Copy by Activation: read an existing sensor and clone its ID
• Manual Input: key in a sensor ID when required
• Auto Create: batch-program 1–16 MX-Sensors in one session

Will the TS408 guide me through vehicle relearn procedures?

Yes — the TS408 includes on-tool relearn instructions for many US, Asian and European models so you won’t need printed charts. Step-by-step prompts walk you through the relearn process specific to the selected vehicle, saving time and preventing common mistakes.

• Built-in vehicle-specific relearn steps displayed on the device
• Eliminates the need to look up procedures online or in manuals
• Speeds up the service process and reduces follow-up visits

How does Autel support the TS408 over time?

The TS408 includes lifetime free software updates and technical support so the tool stays compatible as new models arrive. Updates are installed via a simple one-click PC connection, and Autel’s support team can verify compatibility if you provide your VIN or vehicle details.

• Free lifetime firmware and database updates via PC
• Responsive tech support for VIN/Make/Model/Year compatibility checks
• No subscription fees or hidden charges

Who is this for? The Autel TS408 is targeted at automotive technicians, independent garages, and informed DIYers who need reliable TPMS diagnostics and straightforward Autel MX-Sensor programming without the expense of higher-end units. If you service a range of US, Asian, and European cars and want clear on-screen guidance, fast activation, and lifetime updates, the TS408 is a practical, cost-effective choice.
