Question

How do you program TPMS sensors for vehicles with “VIN-locked” ECUs?

Answer

Use CHEPQ tools to validate the VIN with the ECU (via OBD) before programming.

Explain

VIN-locked ECUs only accept sensors if the VIN matches (anti-theft); CHEPQ tools handle VIN validation to unlock programming.
