Does Autel TS501 work to relearn TPMS?

[BarneysOuterBanks]

First post on this forum. Bought the wife a 2025 Outer Banks and she loves it. I've been reading some threads on 5-wheel tire rotations, TPMS relearning and whether or not the spare tire has a TPMS sensor. Two questions.

I've had good luck using the Autel TS501 to relearn tire locations on a 2010 F150 and a 2016 Rav4. I updated my TS501 software and can read the sensors on the individual tires on the Bronco. Has anyone had luck with the TS501 (or similar model) relearning the tire locations on a 6G Bronco? I don't want to break the wife's new toy so I figured I'd ask first.

Some of the posts that I've read indicate that the TPMS relearns itself after driving for a bit. Any idea how it does that? I'm guessing that there would need to be individual sensor pickups near each wheel so it would know which tire was where.

Thanks!!

Yes the spare has TPMS sensor. And yes the TPMS sensors do relearn after a minute or 2 of driving. Don't worry about buying anything for it. As for how it relearns.. hell if I know. I just know it does.

Every now and then, switching between tire sets it will get confused and throw a TPMS error. Just need to do the clicker thing to get the TPMS to resync. Most of the time it’s automagic.

I can’t verify the Autel, I use the motorcraft clicker, but if it worked on an F150 it will probably work on the Bronco too. Worst case the motorcraft one is only about $20, and most tire shops will do it for free.
