1. the tpms light comes on, in my wifes car at highway speeds. this is intermittent Is there a way i can Fix this?

2. can this device work on 2007 acura RL

3. I have the same otc encore and for tool but the encore won't pair/find the tpr. Any ideas?

4. I have a 2010 mazda 5 i had to put the spare tire on and the tpms is on does that mean the spare tire is low

5. what's the point of these stupid ass sensors? do we really need them?

6. The TPMS light is on cus is that time of the month again…

7. We're using the new cover sheets on our TPMS reports. Didn't you get that memo?

8. you mean to tell me chevy made a way better system than honda??? on my 08 chevy van all you have to do is hit a button till it says tire pressure relearn and the front left blinker lights up and you just release some air out of the tire till the horn sounds and move to the next and you are done after all 4. no tools required.

9. whats a cheap complete TPMS set that does its job

10. is it ok to rotate tires with TPMS sensors? will the car locate where each tire at?

11. Maybe its time for an update for some of your more notable tool reviews like the encore

12. You forgot the spare, haha

13. even the best make a mistake every now and then

14. Roll of black electrical tape- 1.99 🙂 if you drive beaters like me

15. lol audio edit fail!

16. Android

17. what? do you have to plug OBDII stuff in to reset TPMS on honda? on Ford you make a "code" with the brake and ignition and the horn beeps once. then you use a tool (we use some universal i suppose since you can choose alot of vehicles) and "scan" each sensor, and each time it´s a successful reading, the tool and car beeps once. somnetimes the tool or vehicle doens´t beep, and you´ll have to to it all over…

18. Interesting…thats just a android tablet in that device

19. So, if I buy my mom a set of winter tires, this is what I have to do each time I switch them out? I was wanting to mount them to another set of wheels to save the hassle of dismounting and remounting tires, but due to the cost this isn't much better.

21. Very neat little tool!

22. why did you stop it from reading at 4:13, it was going through all the sensors

23. uhh did you forget to listen to the playback, wtf is going at 0:20

24. I agree with the comments about these tools not being affordable by most backyard mech's BUT, I still like to know how it's being done by tire places that do it for free. So, in that regard, I appreciate the video showing what is involved. Thanks Eric!

25. Man, I wish Snap On would switch their freaking Versus scanners into Android OS. I can't believe they're still using Windows XP on those machines that's cost like $4000-7000. Sure it's handy, but the thing works slow as hell and not very user friendly.

26. for 2grand ill just deal with the little light

27. Eric messed up the TPMS! Haha!

    Then again.. so did I and it was such a pain finding the right replacement for it.

28. tire pressure warning lights need you to drive for a bit to auto-clear once registered and have the correct tire pressure. Or you can just clear the codes, but for the normies out there without a tool to clear engine codes, just take it for a drive once you have correct air pressure.

    Of course you will need these tools to reset it if your sensor goes bad after you replace it.

29. Which do you think is best encore or Autel?

30. I'd love to have seen where these TPMS sensors are located, how they are mounted, and how they transmit information (and, if by radio, then also where they get their power from, or if they have a battery and how long it lasts). All this info about a new system, that isn't present in most cars yet, because it was only established on a wide basis of vehicles during the last years, would have been really helpful. Eric, did you also make a video about the repair/replacement of this TMPS sensor I can look forward to? (Because, basically, programming them is the most straight-forward part of the whole procedure – at least to me it is.)

31. I have an older otc, even when it was new, never worked on anything

32. If you have snow tires of a second set of rims, do you need to do this annually? Either way, what happens when you put the original rims on in the spring?

33. only 4000

34. i thought your a pro

35. is that just a nexus 7 in a plastic wrap?

36. As far as I can tell this tool does two things that the cars tps computer cannot. It activates the sensor (turns it on) and sends the unique code to the TPMS. There are much cheaper tools that can activate and read. It is in all a major hassle. 
    The price to pay for the existence of idiots who cannot manage their tyre pressures.

37. Great video but none of your subscribers are going to fork over 2 grand to do this.

38. Does Chevrolet cars need an activation tool if you install a new sensor?

    Because I need to change one of the sensors in my car and I don't know if it needs an activation tool or just install it and do relearn process.

    And thank you for the great video

39. Hey Eric I have a question I've got an 89 f150 and my check engine light comes on only when I give it gas it doesn't do it when slow driving but when I get on it it flashes and thin goes off? Plz help

    If I am in a car that has this kind of expensive fail I will have the
    tire shop put in "normal" tire valves at the next new tires replacement.
    No wonder those Ay-rabs are whippin' our over teched butts !

41. I love tools as much as the other guy but I sure miss it when we could just put air in the tires.

42. Nice Device.

43. huh, i always just let the air out on the tire to the corresponding signal light then the horn beeps and a new light comes on to check another tire. but thats on my chevy, guess some cars require the tool?

44. Can you review the astro nano impact drivers ?

45. ha, n00b!

46. Bartec….

47. The horn pretty much only sounds when relearning/ resetting TPMS for Fords and Chevys.

48. i put new rims and tires on a 14 ram 2500 today and needed some new tpms kits so i could swap the sensors call the dealer they dont even sell the kits they sell the whole sensor and they were $16 a piece i, never had a sensor that cheap much less oem ones haha

49. Neat
