Frequently Asked Questions
1. Which TPMS tool is the best for my car?
The best TPMS tool for your car depends on your vehicle’s make, sensor type, and diagnostic needs.
If you're looking for a professional TPMS scanner that integrates sensor activation, programming, relearn and full system diagnostics (including Engine, ABS, SRS, and TPMS), the Foxwell NT809 TS is a top recommendation.
For users who only need advanced TPMS services (such as sensor activation and OBD relearn) and basic engine diagnostics (via Full OBDII), the Foxwell T2000 Pro is ideal for tire shops and fleet maintenance.

2. What is a TPMS programming tool and who needs it?
A TPMS programming tool is used to activate, program, and clone tire pressure sensors, especially when replacing OE or aftermarket sensors.
For example, the Foxwell T2000 Pro supports advanced TPMS functions, including sensor programming and cloning for Foxwell-branded sensors (like the T10). However, it does not support programming third-party sensors.
This type of tool is essential for tire service shops, aftermarket repair centers, and fleet managers handling large volumes of vehicles.
We also offer custom TPMS tool solutions for wholesalers, tailored to meet diverse professional demands.

3. How do TPMS diagnostic tools differ from basic testers?
Unlike basic TPMS testers that only read tire pressure data, TPMS diagnostic tools offer advanced features such as sensor activation, OBD relearn, and even sensor programming.
If you only want to check real-time tire pressure, a basic TPMS reader is sufficient for daily use—but it won’t provide any programming or diagnostic functionality.
For more complex TPMS tasks, the Foxwell T2000 Pro focuses on advanced TPMS capabilities and standard OBDII engine diagnostics. It supports sensor activation, programming, cloning, and OBD-based relearn, making it the go-to choice for tire shops. However, it does not support diagnostics for systems like ABS or SRS, nor does it offer ECU-level reset functions.
If you need a car diagnostic scanner for all vehicles, the Foxwell NT809 TS includes advanced TPMS reset, full system diagnostics, bi-directional control, oil reset, EPB, and DPF regeneration, making it perfect for professional mechanics.
Also, for maximum compatibility, choose a TPMS tool that supports both 315 MHz and 433 MHz sensors, especially when servicing multiple vehicle models.
