Curious though to get the TPMS ID from this device Autel MaxiTPMS pad-- what is this and what's the cost of that since that will probably need to be factored in?
My TPMS went bad, not just low battery. I try Mazda 3 TPMS on my front wheel and it works.
1. Get Mazda 3 TPMS from eBay $15, P/N BBM2-37-140B
2. Read TPMS ID by autel maxitpms pad
3. Register TPMS ID by KDS3
4. Install TPMS
Done
My concours don't read Mazda TPMS by spinning on bicycle wheel, but reads after install on my front wheel.
Maybe spinning + tire pressure can wake TPMS
The Autel pad is for cloning the sensor ID, so that you don't need to take the bike in for programming. As far as the bike is concerned, it thinks it's the old sensor.
I've got stuff arriving today. If it works, I'll post about it in a new thread. I'm being quick about it because I've already ordered a new front tire. We shall see.
So I successfully cloned my ID to a new sensor.
I’m going to roll the $30 dice
and have it installed on my front tire when I change my front.
Are you kidding? You mean like this:

Seriously? $42 for FOUR of them? And they work? This is *MAJOR* since they cost a fortune from Kawasaki. Looks like they are always sold in 4's but at that cheap you can store the other two in the freezer for future use. How in the world did you discover this???
But why would you need to buy the $52 "Autel MaxiTPMS PAD TPMS Sensor Programming Accessory Device Tire Pressure Tool"? Wouldn't the ID be printed on the sensor? It looks like the pad will create a compatible ID for the appropriate vehicle, so it might be required.

How did you figure that out?!
This gives me an idea. I have my old TPMS sensors and a benchtop power supply. I could power my old sensors, clone the ID to a new one and it SHOULD work. Interesting...
So I successfully cloned my ID to a new sensor. I’m going to roll the $30 dice and have it installed on my front tire when I change my front.
With the PAD thing and software? Which sensor was cloned?
What is the $30?
Does the currently installed sensor weak battery?
So turning the bike on, waiting, then waking the sensor yielded no results. I'm going to install the sensor anyway. If still nothing, then I'll have my Kawi dealer program the ECU for the sensor. It's possible the sensors I got weren't the original ones to the bike. You never know. I am not giving up, though. My new front tire should be here today. I might get it installed this weekend. Dunno.
If you are in SF bay area, maybe I can help to read ID, my KDS3 SW was old, not sure if I can read newer model after 2011.
