I placed my order last night 8-9PM PST 4JUN2018 and received my ATEQ VT31 just before 1PM PST 5JUN2018. I used the ATEQ VT31 in combination with my previously purchased ATEQ Quickset to turn off my TPMS light on a 2018 Subaru Forester XT Touring. The light came on after installing new high performance summer wheels and tires. I bought a summer wheel package including new OEM Subaru TPMS sensors from but the OEM Subaru TPMS sensors were not "triggered/awake" so my quickset couldn't read them. The ATEQ VT31 both woke the sensors up and then gave me the sensor ID numbers which I uploaded to my car using the ATEQ Quickset tool. When you purchase new TPMS sensors OEM or aftermarket most of the sellers fail to "wake up" the TPMS sensors which the ATEQ VT31 did for me in a matter of seconds. The tire shop that installed the new tires and wheels wanted $300.00 for TPMS and activation. I almost lost my mind and told them to pack sand. Thanks to google and desertcart I found the ATEQ VT31 and I didn't have to pay the Tire shop $300.00 or the dealer $120.00 for activation. The ATEQ VT31 worked perfectly right out of the box with the addition of a desertcart basics 9 volt battery and then it was a 100% success for my application. It literally worked perfectly for me upon first use on each and every wheel and sensor. :) Review: Fast, accurate, and user friendly - I picked this unit up to make life easier when switching between Winter/Summer tires, and doing my own tire rotations. Out of the box, it was easy to connect to a PC and download the current software from the ATEQ website. They have tons of info to refer to, and if you still had questions, they have a great YouTube channel and even still, live customer service. I called them with some obvious, basic questions, and they were helpful and responsive. Flawless. ## Features - Displays all TPMS sensor information - Can be used as a standalone TPMS reset tool for Domestic and European vehicles - Display data in several languages including English, Francais, Espanol and more - Easy to use, handheld unit with screen to view all TPMS sensor information including tire pressure, TPMS sensor ID, frequency, battery status, and tire temperature ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B06XX4HFFS | | Best Sellers Rank | #4,237,510 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #206 in Tire Pressure Monitoring System Tools | | Brand Name | ATEQ | | Customer Reviews | 3.6 3.6 out of 5 stars (241) | | Item Weight | 0.4 Pounds | | Manufacturer | ATEQ | | Manufacturer Part Number | VT31-0000 | | Operating System | Android 4.4 | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Screen Size | 2.8 Inches | | UPC | 855314002284 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ATEQ - **Operating System:** Android 4.4 - **Power Source:** Battery Powered - **Screen Size:** 2.8 Inches - **Unit Count:** 1 Count ## Images ![VT31 TPMS Sensor Activation Tool - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ilGm5kL2L.jpg) ![VT31 TPMS Sensor Activation Tool - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71l06fPLxZL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Am I correct that this is not a programmer tool?

Out of the box, it was easy to connect to a PC and download the current software from the ATEQ website. They have tons of info to refer to, and if you still had questions, they have a great YouTube channel and even still, live customer service. I called them with some obvious, basic questions, and they were helpful and responsive. Flawless. ### ⭐ Save your money. *by V***. on March 17, 2020* Could easily lead you to replacing a good tpms. I checked the new tpms while it was still in the "cardboard box" and still wrapped in "plastic" with the VT31. Triggered fine and read the id/temp/pressure/battery. Proceeded with the installation....jack the car up, unmount the tire, remove the valve core, break the tire bead, remove the old tpms, install the new tpms, inflate tire, mount tire, lower car. Check the tpms with the VT31...WHAT....no sensor detected. Jack the car up, umount tire, remove valve core, break tire bead, remove the new tpms, check with the VT31 if tpms is okay...WHAT....tpms triggers and the VT31 sees the id/temp/pressure/battery. Trigger the old tpms...super WHAT....the old tpms is good....id/temp/pressure/battery all good. So reinstall the new tpms but before inflating tire....no sensor detected....push tire bead to expose the tpms...VT31 triggers the tpms. Not able to trigger the tpms when tpms is inside tire. That's odd. Walk over to the neighbor's RAV4...triggers all of her tires without a problem. Walk over to the neighbor's Tundra...triggers all of his tires. Contacted ATEQ...recommendation to update...okay...updated...still no sensor detected on my RX400h....put in a new 9v battery...still no sensor detected when it's installed. ATEQ says it's an interference problem and that since it was able to trigger the tpms on the Tundra and RAV4 that there's something wrong with the tpms and not the VT31. Of course since I'm beyond the 30 days, JBTools says it's not their responsibility. ATEQ says I need to discuss with JBTools unless I'm willing to pay for the repair if there's nothing wrong. Kind of a useless tool if it can't trigger the tpms when the tpms is inside the tire. I proceeded with the installation of the new tpms....then tried to load the new tpms id into the ecu with ATEQ's Quickset....problems with the Quickset...that's another long story. After a lot of going back and forth with ATEQ without any success...found a posting here on Amazon about using an obscure setting for Toyota to get Quickset to work. Got the new id into the ECU and the car sees the new tpms. Just not with the VT31. Out of curiosity, I ordered an Autel TS408pro. It arrived in two days...amazing Amazon...charged up the lithium battery....walked around my RX400h and all five tires triggered with the Autel. Tried the same with the V31 and only two out of the five triggered. Did this numerous times and different times of the day...position of the sun...position of the moon...in the rain...in the sun...night..day..the Autel consistently triggers all five tpms while the VT31 triggers only two out of five. Maybe the VT31 is under powered with the 9v battery since the battery indicator shows 2/3 with a new battery. Will tinker and report back. Seems like no one is selling the VT31 at this time. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.uy/products/42120791-vt31-tpms-sensor-activation-tool](https://www.desertcart.uy/products/42120791-vt31-tpms-sensor-activation-tool) --- *Product available on Desertcart Uruguay* *Store origin: UY* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
