Subject: [Shop-talk] OBD2 Scanner recommendations


All,

I'm looking for a recommendation for an OBD2 scanner capable of accessing the TPMS re-learning procedure on our 2024 Mazda 3. I just put winter wheels and tires on the car with new TPMS sensors. In spite of the owners manual telling me that the system should automatically read the new IDs simply by driving a certain distance, that appears to not be the case. I can't find any way to trigger a re-learn procedure using the car's menu settings. So I figure an OBD2 Scanner of some sort would take care of this task, since I expect that's what the dealer would do. I expect needing to go to the dealer each time I switch wheels will soon exceed the cost of the scan tool.

I do have a device that is supposed to wake up the sensors so that they will transmit their identity and data to the car's brain, but that didn't have any effect that I know of.
