TPMS Error - Following flat battery (FIXED - Reset Codes Autel AP200M)

[alastairb]

Hi All, Battery went flat at the tint shop, thats now recovered/recharged and the million warnings are all gone now following a negative lead / battery reset.....bar TPMS.

Would like some advice on whats achievable on the drive and some advice on diagnostic tools a local garage might be able to help with (Foxwell etc) before reverting to a specialist.

A lot of the (rear) interior will have been dismantled for the tint fitting, im assuming rear seats, shelf etc to get the blind / rear brake light out the way for the window tinting ,so....

To recap its a 2008 pre-facelift sport GT ZF.

The Control module is in under the carpet in the front , correct ? No reason for that to have been budged but I've read a disconnect on the control unit plus another battery reset might be worth doing.
Where are the TPMS aerials located, is there one in the rear of the car on the inside that may have been disconnected I should check? I looked at the Eurospares diagram which lists x2 on the car? Assuming Front / Rear.
Other than holding the button to trigger a re-calibration , which I have done, on a long journey (multiple times, no joy) - is the 'Re-learn' procedure something a Foxwell can invoke?
Would one flat TPMS sensor cause the entire monitoring to be unavailable?
Re-calibration errors in about 30 seconds, possibly quicker , which is making me think a comms issue rather than a wheel sensor but I don't have the experience to discount the sensors.

Tints look great so at the moment I haven't burnt enough time / money fixing this to make them not worthwhile! We will see if that continues

TIA
Al

Managed to fix this with an Autel AP200M - £37, 5 day shipping.

Read the following :


The 11 TPMS errors where these :


Cleared them (across all modules) leaving just 1 :



Which was this one for Rear RH wheel :


Started car, no lights and all readings present :



Very happy with that, Have full Maserati on AP200M for first year, then $19.99 per year after that.

Hey Al,

I inherited the same TPMS issue from the previous owner.

Following this thread, I've just received my Autel AP200M and I can now see all my PSIs!

Bonus is there weren't many other errors either, all seemed to relate to various pieces of the audio system missing, as I would expect (AM/FM and GPS antennas).

Even if I don't 'fix' anything else with it, it was a bargain. Will this be the cheapest Maserati fix ever?

Thank you for trailblazing and posting this.

Virtual beers for you Sir

I've also been playing with a ThinkDiag over here : https://www.sportsmaserati.com/inde...tics-tools-for-use-at-home.34900/#post-912469
Using one of those I managed to pull TPMS Battery Levels and Sensor ID's (should you want to pre-code any replacements if buying online etc).

I’ve got the AP200M, took a while to arrive, but it works fine and is quite a robust little unit.
inhad a few random CAN bus errors in the door modules and an old one for the shifter, just cleared them. no engine codes, but will get a look at the live data over the next few days as my Ghibli sometimes hesitates a little in the warm up phase. Can get into the TPMS modules etc.

I just received my Autel AP200 (non-M,C or H) which is equivalent to the Autel MK808 only with the BT interface offloading to an iOS/Android UI. It's unclear what each model subtype gives you but the 'AP 200' offers the most functionality. It'll clear F1 codes and pretty much everything else...

Worth buying one, thanks.

Incidentally, doses anyone know if the Granturismo TPMS sensors are built into the valve or are they stuck onto the inside of the wheel?

Combined with the valve, but stuck on if that makes sense.

My interface has not shown up yet so I can’t test it

Thanks. Looking at putting some new wheels on when I get new tyres fitted so just preparing for how easy, or not, it will be for the garage.

The AP200 seems only to be available from the US site, with the UK site indicating sold out. Where was yours from or don't I need to worry?

 

[Tallman]

I bought mine from Amazon, about $60. Works like a dream together with the app. You get software for 1 car, adding more is about $20 per car. I was offered an extra car if I reviewed. They actually refunded me $20 so that was a bonus. Just make sure you get the one where you buy the software, not the annual subscription model.

 

[montravia]

Thank you Tallman. The AP200 variant seems to have disappeared

 

[conaero]

Right, I need some help. I have my dongle, went to register via the app and its asking for my Verification code. I have checked the email and the box, nada!

Have emailed Autel and nothing yet, can someone tell me where this verification code was located?

[conaero]

Its ok, I worked it out

 

[montravia]

Managed to get hold of them last night. On its way from China

 

[conaero]

The tests will now begin...
