Default TPMS reprogram tool


Anybody know any tire shop that has the ATEQ VT55 or Snap-On TPMS3 tool?
It is a hand held scanner that can read tpms sensors and reprograms the ECU
I'm planning to get new sensors and have them reprogrammed for my car
Hopefully Auto Innovations or Discount Tire has one?

I know any Honda dealer can do it but I'm not about to pay them $140 bucks!

Thanks

So I called around and apparently no one has this tool.
I called the Honda dealer and they said $130 for TPMS reprogram. Discount Tire said $25 per tire

I said screw that and bought the tool myself
With the amount of times I would need to swap wheels I figured I might as well get it

Updating software

Reading sensor information

looks like my right rear tire has higher psi

OBDII tool so I can reprogram Hondas and other Asian vehicles as well

This thing reprograms a bunch of other cars

pretty much most anything with stupid TPMS sensors

If you need help with your TPMS sensors
hit me up!

Does the TPMS in the s2000 actually read out the PSI on the dash board of individual tires? Or it just flashes a generic light when one tire is below a threshold? I know my friend's Audi actually says the PSI of each individual tire, which is pretty cool. I have a 2004 so I know nothing about what the TPMS does for the s2000.

The TPMS on 2008-09's S2K's only flashes the generic light and provides no other information
I am not sure how accurate the psi reading on my TPMS tool is
but I am getting a tire pressure gauge to double check soon

Out of curiosity...what is the PSI threshold that the TPMS light shows?

I have read that if the pressure drops to 26.5-27 psi the TPMS light will come on

Got my tire pressure gauge in today


Looks like the OEM TPMS sensors are off by 1 psi
You can see in my above post the scan tool says 37 psi on the right rear but my gauge says 36 psi

Time to get a second gauge to have more comparisons.
