Suggestions for a good TPMS Scanner/Programmer for GM or universal
2 years of scheduled maintenance has ended.
So starting back doing my own oil changes and tire rotations. Look for a good but not silly expensive TPMS Scanner/Programer.
Needs to do at least 2015+ GMs and If it is universal that is fine too.

Not trying to spend crazy money as I rotate at 5k so usually only need it twice a year.
Sams rotates, balances, and reprogram for $18 I think.
So I am half tempted to just have them do it. But I like to do stuff myself as well so there is that.

I have 2 really good OBDII scanners.

I need a TPMS Scanner/Programmer. Which is a bit of a different animal. A lot of the big money OBDII devices have them
Included now but I am not looking for that high end.

i've needed a tpms reset twice in recent years, pulled into discount, where i've bought a lot of tires.

reset without appointment both times, no charge.

I buy my tires from Discount as well and when I've had issues with tpms from tire rack wheel packages, discount takes care of it for me. no charge.



Not minority enough!

Wish we had one local.
I buy most of my tires from them online but we don’t have a local brick and mortar.

Check the Autel MaxiTPMS TS501
See if it fits your needs.


I have the 401 + ATEQ TPMS QUICKSET
I'm not sure 501 existed when I bought my stuff

I assume that your need is to reprogram sensor position relative to the on board display? If so, this model from Amazon has worked fine for my Sierra.
