Does the wheel location really matter with the ATEQ quickset? I see the PC software has specific slots for FR/FL/RR/LR. My snows were put on a new set of wheels today and I have all the codes off of the sensors but I didn't have the tire place tell me which wheel had which sensor. I figure it doesn't technically matter since tire rotation is a thing and I don't think it calls for a reset. Just asking to be sure and know I don't have to waste my time with trial and error.

The OEM ID numbers should still be in your ECU. A tire shop should be able to do this. I've read that Discount Tire stores are savvy in this, if there is one near you.

You are correct. Tire location should not matter as long as you have the correct ID numbers in your ECU.

ETA: after switching back to the summer wheels, I used the ATEQ Quickset to enter the summer IDs into the ECU. It didn't take. I connected the Quickset to the laptop and synced the IDs. I had rotated the IDs to match what position each were actually on the WRX now. The light went out after flashing again, followed by a few minutes of idling the car. Either the Quickset no longer had the IDs stored, after lying around all winter OR the IDs actually do need to be in the actual position for initial ECU flash. I would love to ask ATEQ which was the case, but they don't respond to emails.

When I got the aftermarket rims and had a shop switch the OEM tires to them and also put on the Schrader TPMS and program them. Now those rims allow the TPMS to work but the OEM wheels do not.

If I get the ATEQ Quickset will this allow me to switch from summer to winter and get the TPMS to work? I see in this thread people are having mixed results but recently it looks like more people are getting it to work. Is there any other tool I would need to get the OEM TPMS to work besides the Quickset? In another thread I was told that just the Quickset wouldn't work.

if you have the quickset and the new tpms are not able to clone, you can use quickset to read the current tpms. Dive you're about to switch to winters, I would go to a tire shop to have them read what the id on the winter tires are and ask them to program and give you the id. Next year when you go back to summer you will already have the id in the device. You will also have the id from the tire shop to program the winters yourself next year as well.

I've been go ogling for two days. I've read many things, but none specifically for 2015 Subaru.
Hmm, sorry I'm not sure! When I switched back to my stocks for winter, I took it to a shop to have them read the id and program the tpms. Then when I switched again, I just used the quickset to switch the id and drove fora little while and the tpms light went iff

No worries. Thanks for the responses!
I'm going to try and read them, right after driving, with the magnet over the valve stem.

ETA: It turned out that there were no sensors present, afterall. I bought used sensors from ebay and one died soon, but the seller sent out another free of charge. if I had it to do all over again, I would buy the Schraders on Amazon ($29 ea), but the used ebay sensors were only $35 for 4.

Thanks. Also the Tire Rack rep I spoke to echoed your view.

I just replaced my OEM 2016 Subaru WRX wheels with 2011 OEM STI Wheels. The TPMS light didn't come on until a couple miles.

I'm assuming the sensors are the same, all I have to do is go to any Tire store and have them reprogram the sensor, right? or Do I have to get my sensor code and do it with quick tools from Amazon? Any help greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Either of the two choices, that you listed, will work.
If your only changing wheels once and not twice a year, the tire shop option should be cheaper.

Helpful thread. My question is this:

How do I "activate" the sensors on my new wheels from Tirerack? I have them programmed in, but they are in "sleep mode" according to the people at Tirerack. Other other than buying a VT15 for $100 and using it once. Can these be rented from autozone, etc? I'm sure the dealer will charge me $100 for trying to figure it out. They were not helpful the last time I went there with a TPMS issue.

Anyone in Nova have one?

Any large tire store chain, like Discount Tire, will have the tool to activate the sensors. It would be a 5 minute job for them. All they have to do is put a reader against the tire near each valve stem and press a button.

Just as a follow up, I also used the 2014 Impreza selection for a 2016 WRX. It programmed good, pulled codes good, and turned the light off after replacing a TPMS module with a Schrader brand one. Thanks for the post!

Just dusted my QuickSet off after a while, and ended up in the same boat. Can successfully report it only worked with the 2014 Impreza selection for a 2015 WRX STI Launch Edition. Anything else, even 2015 Impreza WRX STI in the app, results in the dreaded red light.

17 WRX LIMITED, 6MT

I have an Autel Quickset and an ATEQ
TS 401.

This is my second winter swap with same summer and winter wheels.
I can return the summer (original wheels) TPMS IDs to the ECU with the devices I have.
I cannot get the Winter wheels TPMS IDs to take. The light blinks and then stays solid on after about 20 miles or so.

I had the same problem, last winter.
The winter TPMS sensors are used from ebay and are the correct part number, as best I could tell.
Last winter, I had the dealership look at the TPMS issue, while in for their complimentary oil change. They said that one of the sensors was bad, changed it, rest the IDs in the ECU and I had no issues.
Put the summers back on, in Spring and set the IDs to the ECU myself. No issues.

Any ideas, info or advice will be greatly appreciated.

ETA: it's January 2018, well, it's 2 months later and I've been messing with different year and model choices when inputting the IDs to the ATEQ Quickset. No joy.
I have found that the part number on the used TPMS sensors are for a 2012 Impreza and not the number for a 2017 WRX, BUT the dealer made the light go out last winter. They must have more options on their machine, for resetting the ECU than the Quickset provides.
I'm about to suck it up and buy 4 of the correct part number sensors. Just trying to decide between $50 for 4 after-market OEM, $180 for 4 Genuine Subaru or $150 for 4 Schrader.

It's April 2018, and I had exhausted every combo of year, model and was waiting for the summer wheels swap, when Greg advertised four 2015+ STI TPMS sensors.
I got them, read the IDs with the ATEQ, entered the IDs into the ECU and a couple days later, had them swapped into the winter wheels.
Of coarse the TPMS light came on quickly, since the old sensors were still in the wheels, but I wanted the ECU to be ready.
After the newer sensors were in the wheels, the TPMS light was still on, but upon startup, the warning stated low pressure, as opposed to the usual setting issue. I don't know what the info read, right after entering the latest IDs, because I paid it no mind, assuming it was the usual.
I verified correct tire pressure, but only drove for only 3 or 4 miles, back to work. The light did not go out. For good measure, I flashed the new IDs again, left the car and returned to work. Leaving work, the TPMS light was on at startup, but went out, after driving less than a mile. SUCCESS!

Correct TPMS sensor part number = 28103SG000

The part numbers I couldn't get to work, but the dealer did, are qty 3 of 28103SA001 and qty 1 of 28103SG000 (which I assume is the replacement from the dealer).

TLDR: research a bit longer and ensure that the past numbers are correct for your year. Don't take an ebay sellers word that they cover specific years. Search the part numbers and find them on a real Subaru web page and select "what does this fit" and then "more info", if the list of years and models is not initially shown.

I hope this long story helps someone

Anyone get this to work with a 2018?

Every time I connect to the OBD2 and click the snow flake the light turns solid green but when I plug into the computer (Windows 7) the read values are still 00000000. I'm using Version 3.05.


Update: After talking to ATEQ (via FB Messenger, very responsive even at 10 PM ET) I was told that since I mounted wheels with different sensors, and my TPMS dash light activated, the ECU's stored IDs from my previous sensors were erased. That is why the Quickset was recording 000000.

So, I used my Autel TS401 to wirelessly record the IDs from my mounted sensors, loaded them onto the Quickset via software v. 3.05, and uploaded the IDs into the car's ECU. After a few minutes of driving the dash light and information icon turned off.

Bumping this old thread because I fear being harassed for not searching the forum properly

I want to make sure I fully understand. I have a 2015 WRX. I have two sets of wheels and tires (stock wheels have winter tires and TPMS sensors currently loaded into the ECU. Second set are aftermarket summers and aftermarket TPMS). The second set has new TPMS sensors, I have all of the TPMS IDs from when I purchased them. All eight TPMS are active and “awake”.

Here’s where I need double checked before I make any purchases.

True or false- I can use the Quickset to download the stock TPMS sensor IDs currently housed in the ECU and store these IDs as “winter wheels”.

I can also upload the “summer wheels” TPMS IDs into the Quickset via computer software (I have all of the IDs), and then utilize the Quickset to swap IDs to and from the ECU when I swap wheels?

Safe to say, I’d just need to purchase a Quickset since I don’t need to read any TPMS IDs (the four I don’t know are already loaded on the ECU) nor do I need to wake up any sensors.

Am I correct?

Yes, this all sounds correct

As long as you have the tpms ID and load everything in you should be good. Just remember to follow the on screen instructions for the ATEQ.

I just bought wheels and tires from tirerack for a winter set for my 2020 STI. I was able to use the ATEQ Quickset to read the stock TPMS sensors IDs (using 2019 STI profile). I then used the ID numbers tirerack supplied for the new TPMS sensors and programmed the car for the winter sensors. I had to wake the new TPMS sensors using an ATEQ VT06 tool.

Most importantly follow the ATEQ Quickset instructions. After installing the Quickset software from ATEQ's website, I hooked up the Quickset using USB to update the tool and set up a new profile for my 2020 STI using the 2019 STI in the tool's menu. Follow the instructions. Save your TPMS codes in a draft email in case you need to reinstall or lose them in the Quickset and software.

Good to hear. The quickset has been working for me as well. Just needed the initial wakeup to get the sensors going when I first installed my aftermarket wheels.
Will be switching back to summers here soon. Expected to be 80 here in MD tomorrow.
