Default Can you program a set of TPMS yourself?

It seems maybe you don't have to use dealer for this if you have one of the tools, called a MUT 3?
But it's super expensive


In this article

Commonly Available TPMS diagnostic tools



If you search the Internet, you will find a number of TPMS diagnostic and service tools.

In many cases, you can find complete kits to handle all of your TPMS needs. MMNA

does not endorse these tools, but if you are doing regular TPMS service, they may be

of interest to you.


The circular magnet (p/n 46716, photo right) is an “essential” tool for TPMS sensor



registration and is the only tool required by MMNA. It can only be used with TPMS


sensors p/n MN103033 (2006 Galant & 200406 Endeavor) and MN103081 (when



used on Montero only).


Aftermarket electronic TPMS tools may provide both sensor registration and



activation functions. The following TPMS sensor tools are compatible with all

MMNA TPMS equipped products.

OTC TPR BARTEC Wheelrite Tech 300+

While these tools are compatible with all current

MMNA TPMS equipped vehicles, they are not

essential tools. They are NOT available through the

Mitsubishi Special Tools website. MMNA does not

endorse their use. Other tools may be compatible

with MMNA products. Contact the individual vendor

for tool capabilities, prices and availability.


Some aftermarket electronic TPMS tools are capable



of activating TPMS sensors for registration without

tire deflation and inflation.


Some aftermarket electronic TPMS tools can check



for correct sensor frequency to verify the correct

sensor is installed. This function is available on the

OTC and BARTEC TPMS tools.


Certain aftermarket electronic TPMS tools can provide sensor ID, temperature and tire pressure.

Valve core tightening tools, some with preset torque, are available through independent sources.



They allow you to tighten the valve core without risk of over tightening.

I kinda have access to this tool, friend of mine has it.

However I wasn't able to do anything useful with it.

You could buy the alligator programmer and buy the matching sensors. OR just email this guy

TPMS Sensors FS - Programmed for FREE - EvoXForums.com - Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X Forums


I bought my sensors from him.


All you need to do is go to a tire shop. Have them put their TMPS reader up to the tire valve. Write down all 4 serial numbers. Then email this guy the numbers. He will ship you (very quickly too) 4 sensors programmed for your car. So now you never have to buy mitsubishi sensors or have the stealership charge you money for the programming.

I mostly love it because when I switch to my winter rims and tires I do not need to do anything. the outlander's computer thinks it is the stock sensors!

So what was the budget? Something between $200 and $300?

Except now you have to go back every winter and spring to get your car reprogramed

100% but for $20 every 6 or so months, that is really not that bad. i have not seen a Mitzu II under $250 so to me that levels out. Plus the dealer is at the end of my block so it is just up the street and i get a free car wash out of the deal! hahaha
