What to do if the TPMS light cannot be cleared after successfully programming the Mx-sensor with Autel TS601?

If you're unable to clear the TPMS light after successfully programming MX-Sensors with the TS601, follow these steps:

1. Activate All Sensors: Ensure that all four TPMS sensors are activated.

2. Reprogram via OBD: Use the "Copy by OBD" method to reprogram the TPMS sensors again. This ensures that the sensors are correctly communicating with the vehicle's ECU.

3. Verify Sensor Information: Double-check that each tire's sensor ID and location information match what is recorded in the vehicle's ECU. Mismatched information can prevent the system from recognizing the sensors properly.

4. Perform TPMS Diagnosis: Use the TS601 to perform a TPMS diagnostic check. This can help identify any underlying issues with the TPMS system that may be causing the light to remain on.

If the problem persists after following these steps, there could be other issues such as a fault in the TPMS module or wiring, and further investigation may be needed.
