What it doesn’t do

While the Smart Sensor Pro+ tool also serves as a diagnostic scanner, the diagnostic scan capabilities are limited to TPMS codes only (it’s not an all-systems OBD II scan tool).

While some high-dollar TPMS tools provide on-screen OE relearn procedures, the Pro+ does not (however, when you select RELEARN from the tool menu, you will be shown where to find the necessary relearn procedure at www.31inc.com).

The unit also does not offer a printing feature, so you can’t print out a hard copy from the tool. But so what? In essence, this is a simple but highly efficient TPMS scan, copy and re-learn tool, without the costly bells and whistles often featured in very expensive units.

As noted above, 31 Inc. does offer all of the necessary domestic and import OE relearn procedures online at no charge, in addition to a printed and laminated TPMS relearn chart that’s available as P/N 19-122.

Online resources include a printable/downloadable PDF application chart, a TPMS part finder with make/model and year lookup (for relearn procedures, TPMS valve kits, service kits, sensors, etc., for specific vehicle applications), printable PDF relearn procedures and free tool updates.

In addition, a dedicated TPMS technical support line is available at (877) 659-TPMS (8767).
