How to Efficiently Copy Sensor ID Using Xhorse XTPMS Sensor and Key Tool Max Pro

In the world of automotive technology, efficiency is key, especially when it comes to maintaining and replacing tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS). In this article, we will delve into the process of copying sensor IDs using the Xhorse XTPMS sensor and the Key Tool Max Pro, a method that promises to simplify your TPMS management significantly.

What is Sensor ID Copying?

Sensor ID copying is a straightforward process that allows technicians to duplicate the identification number of an existing TPMS sensor onto a new one. This ensures that the new sensor can seamlessly replace the original without the need for additional programming once installed. It’s a practical solution for maintaining the integrity and functionality of a vehicle’s TPMS.

Why Use the Xhorse Key Tool Max Pro?

The Xhorse Key Tool Max Pro is a versatile device that not only assists in key programming but also excels in TPMS functions. With its user-friendly interface and robust features, it simplifies the sensor ID copying process, making it accessible even for those who may not be highly experienced in automotive technologies.

How to Copy the Sensor ID

Copying the sensor ID can be done in a few simple steps, depending on the condition of the original sensor:

1. Accessing the Original Sensor

If you have access to the original sensor, start by checking its shell for the printed ID number. Follow these steps:

1. Tap Program.
2. Select Manual Create.
3. Enter the original sensor’s ID number.
4. Tap OK to complete the copying process.

2. Retrieving the ID from a Non-Visible Sensor

If the ID number is unclear or missing, you can use the Xhorse Key Tool Max Pro to activate the sensor and retrieve the ID. Here’s how:

1. Connect the Key Tool Max Pro to the sensor.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions to activate and read the ID.

3. Handling a Dead Sensor

In cases where the original sensor is dead, the first step is to replace its battery. This step is crucial as it activates the sensor, allowing you to retrieve the ID:

1. Replace the battery of the original sensor.
2. Use the Key Tool Max Pro to activate and read the ID.

OBD Copying Method for Supported Vehicles

For vehicles that support OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) communication, such as the Toyota Corolla, the copying process can be even more straightforward. Here’s how to leverage this feature:

1. Connect the Xhorse VVDI Key Max Pro to the OBD port of the vehicle.
2. Enter the TPMS function in the tool.
3. Select the correct vehicle model and year.
4. The interface will present you with four options: Active, Diagnostics, Program, and Learn. (Note: The Diagnostics option won’t appear if the vehicle doesn’t support OBD.)
5. Tap OBD Read ID to retrieve the sensor IDs.
6. Select OBD Copy, place a new sensor, and initiate programming.
7. Repeat the process for all sensors until all four are copied.

Once the copying is complete, install the new sensors, and they will function immediately without further programming.

Benefits of Sensor ID Copying

Copying sensor IDs provides several advantages, including:

• Time Efficiency: The process is quick and eliminates the need for extensive programming.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Reduces the need for professional services, saving money on TPMS replacements.
• Convenience: Ideal for mobile technicians or DIY enthusiasts who want to streamline their workflow.
