TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR PROGRAMMING LAUNCH CRT5011E

[@davidmcclain5180]

One thing to note: Lexus uses hexadecimal numbers on their TPMS sensors. However, replacement universal sensors may have a regular serial number on them. So, all you have to do is use a hexadecimal number converter from a Google search and enter the numbers into the vehicles computer. I ran into this issue after I purchased aftermarket sensors from Amazon that advertised no programming was necessary. However, they didn't work because they broadcasted their serial numbers in non hexidecimal format.

I have had great luck with the Launch tpms! Launch sensors is all we use at the shop. Thanks for another great video Eric!

Have you ever installed launch sensors on lexus gx470? I heard many aftermarket sensors don’t work well with Toyota and Lexus

[@PelicanIslandLabs]

Very good video and I love that you are concise and don't do any blah blah blah crap like most KZbinrs.

[@mikechiodetti4482]

Great tool! Didn't know about each aftermarket sensor using their own device. Learned something new today. Thank you for that. Original tpms sensors on my 06 Frontier went 10 years, started giving intermittent problems with low battery power and colder temps back in 2016. Replaced all 4 with Nissan OEM sensors all is good in tpms land.

[@jtr990]

I am defintely on the same boat when it comes to TPMS sensor and tool bundles. Looking at the Launch and Autel handheld TPMS programming and relearn tools, they have free software updates for the tool's lifetime. But they only program their own branded blank sensors. The Ateq and Bartec tools cover a wider variety of programmable aftermarket sensors, if not all. But you'll have to pay a software license fee once the initial period expires. All of them, on the other hand, are capable of reading direct-fit OEM, direct-fit aftermarket, and programmable TPMS sensors with the sensor IDs written already. Plus, they're capable of performing relearns (OBD, drive, and stationary). To make a long story short, we're at the mercy of the manufacturers when it comes to the tools and the replacement TPMS sensors we use. Overall, excellent video.

[@kito1san]

Yup. I did that exactly. Clone the aftermarket sensor with the old oem id sensor and the car thinks nothing is wrong. Only thing is you have to ensure you get the right tmps sensor as different brand cars uses different freqency. But then again, the newer (more expesnive) aftermarket tmps sensor has both frequency so you don't have second guess. However, I do notice this takes a slight longer for the system read sensor as it have pick up the correct frequency and correct id output data the car is looking. It does work nicely and does save you some money if you choose this route than oem tmps sensors.

[@djosbun]

The menus in my Autel TS508 look exactly the same as in your Launch (the sensor relearn screen is a direct match, too). Both tools probably have the same circuit boards. They're a great value and easy to use!

[@kubibear2890]

One of your tyres was showing 47 psi, but you went ahead and read that figure anyway and put it into the car ECU. So when you next drive it you will need to deflate that one tyre to match the others. When you do that the tyre light will come on as you have gone beyond the parameters of the sensor. Always set the tyres to the correct pressure before you do anything else.

[@serge4856]

Wrong, the sensor is programmed to Toyotas specifications, light will go on if tire is underinflated. You are thinking of passive tpms system where it uses abs sensors to monitor tire rotation, with that system tire pressure needs to be set appropriately from start.

[@kubibear2890]

@serge4856 if I saw one tyre with 10psi more than the others the logical way forward would be to reduce the pressure first?

[@serge4856]

​​@@kubibear2890he is not trouble shoting it, just programming. Time cost $$, if they want the correct tire pressure they have to pay I guess 🤔.

[@zodmansour3217]

[@joenissan]

All sensors come with their own ID. None are blank. That tool reads the new sensor, activates them, then allows you to transfer these new IDs to the ecu.

[@lusoprazer]

L'outil active le capteur, cela veux dire qu'il active la batterie du capteur afin qu'il émette des ondes de fréquences radio ? il existe un outil qui peux seulement lire l'identifiant du capteur pour ensuite inscrire manuellement l'identifiant dans l'ordinateur du véhicule ? Merci.

[@amgbenzvtwelveturbo3692]

Very informative video. Had no idea that aftermarket TPMS sensor manufacturers encrypt their units so that only their own proprietary scanners will work with them. I hope I said that right LOL. You provide good information for consumers at large who don't know about stuff like this.

[@EdFromOhio]

Decent video, but I will disagree when you say that most generic TPMS sensors don't come pre-programmed. There are TONS of them available that are pre-programmed, and only a relearn is necessary. I've done that numerous times with generic TPMS sensors with an Autel TS508 which is a similar process as the Launch. Each programmer brand tends to use only their own brand of programmable TPMS sensors.

[@rubberman2006]

I replaced with an aftermarket tpms sensor on my Chevy traverse and had no issue doing a relearn with a $25 relearn tool.

[@raiderman28]

Gm /Chevy are much easier to learn then most vehicles with cheap relearn tool. I think you can program some model with the factory remote also.

[@janderson3197]

[@craigdixon4113]

One of my friends put regular old fashioned valve stems on his car. Then bought a container with new sensors in it, pressurized the container to 35 pounds and set the car to the new sensors. Finally putting the container in the trunk. With a magic marker writing the date of replacement on it. I thought it was slick.

[@iceyaj3167]

why would your friend do that? slick? i hate to say this but that was kinda dumb. 😂

[@ctrlaltdebug]

My friend just puts black tape over the tpms light.

[@dennismoehl6838]

One thing to note, the tire pressures should be set to the door jamb placard before training or relearning, as the PCM receives the current pressure and assumes it is correct for triggering the warning low pressure. At least that’s how I understand it to work with universal sensors…

[@Gary_in_NoVA]

You can do it afterwards: fill to correct pressure and press the set button by the driver’s knee.

[@BlownInterceptor71]

Been looking for this, my tire shop did not have one of these. So, all four of my sensors on my 2004 C5 Vette do not work. Thanks!

[@khcopter]

So I bought the exact same tool CRT 5011E that you are demonstrating . When I go into TPMS OBD II it will not show vehicles original TPMS serial numbers or anything. It does work when I aim the tool at the sensor on the tire. But when I try to read it off the OBD II HOOKED UP TO THE CAR’S COMPUTER NOTHING. So do I send it back or am I doing something wrong? I am working on a 2010 Toyota Tacoma. I bought this because you were demonstrated get on a Lexus, which is Toyota.

[@1908ME1]

I'm struggling with this tool will not clone new sensors!

[@tlongo1]

Toyota dealer wanted $450 for ONE tpms OEM replacement!!! Went to a reputable tire shop and they did all four tires with Autel aftermarkets for $280. I usually only want OEM parts on my car but I could not spend an extra $1500 just for sensors.

[@stealthg35infiniti94]

On my G35, I saved lots of money buying the aftermarket sensors. Just wait until you need new tires so your Tire Store doesn't charge extra for a mounting charge.

[@captainmorgan6035]

Didnt mention about driving before setting sensors to wake them up, I just mention that because I changed them on a Ford transit van and I couldn’t get them to program I bought them off of Amazon and thought they were faulty. That was before I realized you have to drive first to wake up the sensors. I would imagine that you would not have to do that though with the tool that you have there

[@Cheepchipsable]

I would expect the signal from the tool should wake the sensor up.

[@raiderman28]

I read that you can deflate them by 10lbs. and that is suppose to activate them also, without driving them

[@raymuniz113]

Does the TPMS need to be the same Launch brand in order to work with this Launch TPMS programming device? Or the TPMS could be any other brand?

So will this work or not

[@OSCARANDRES039]

Great video! Can u explain how to do the cloning procedure for blank sensors. Thank u!!

[@olenaerhardt7725]

Does the nut torque from a new set depend on the sensor you are installing a new set on? Or that torque is the same for any sensor it fits on? For example, the original TPMS sensor require 65 in-lbs (2009 Nissan Sentra), but new service kit for the nut included in that set gives 35 in-lbs. I didn't look before on the packet of the service kit and installed w/63 in-lbs. The car was driving perfectly fine like for 2 years. Now I'm replacing the wheels and moving the TPMS sensors fm old wheels to the new ones. I'm replacing the service kit items of course (nut, washer, gasket, and Schrader Valve). Here it came to my attention the printed value of the nut torque on the small packet for the new kit (35 in-lbs). So I don't know what torque to apply 65, 35 or smth in between (especially as everything was fine and with 65). I inspected the previous service kit nuts, which were used for 2 years, and which were under 63 in-lbs instead of 35, they were fine, no hairline cracks on them. I would appreciate any opinions on this matter.

One of my sensors broke and I had it replaced with a standard rubber valve steam. I no longer have the broken sensor. Would I still be able to “clone” the new sensors without the one old broken one. I still have three other sensors working on the truck. I’d like to replace all four of them
