    Well...it might. I don't know why I thought it was an ETACS function.

    Yes. And it doesn't show any DTCs. I don't think the Bartec can read stored sensor IDs, either. I am sure it just activates the relearn function to read new sensor codes...or at least that is what it SHOULD be doing.

    I will mess with it more when the new OBDII cable shows up.

    I am looking at a Mitsubishi parts site, and I can't find a separate 'brain box' for the TPMS. I think it is done through ETACS?

    Hell, the ETACS controls everything else!

    Other markets offer the ability to store two different sets of sensors, with switching done through the MID. That would almost have to mean it's in the ETACS, right?

    Sure sounds like it.

    I wonder why ETACS Decoder can't do TPMS.

    I have no input, none of our cars came with tpms, but I'm pretty sure I saw something about it in the menu on my scanner.

    If I were cloning a set of factory wheels & had one dead sensor, I would remove the dead sensor. The dead sensor should have the code stamped on it. I would clone two new sensors using that code. That would give me a sensor for both sets of wheel, & I don't have reprogram my vehicle for any new sensors at all.

    I would feel blessed, not left out. These TPMS systems are .... I couldn't think of anything nice to say.

    I used to use the No Mar for doing motorcycle tire changes, using the Princess Auto tire changing stand with motorcycle tire conversion. Worked really well. I also used it to unmount 4 Jeep Wrangler tires from the wheels, worst part was breaking the bead, the bead breaker arm on the tire changer broke on the last tire. I never had any issues using the No Mar bar.

    Well, no. Got 67k out of the rears, so not too concerned. I don't rotate them. Had I rotated them they probably would have lasted longer.

    UPDATE:
    The No Mar Tire bar is very nice, exactly as manufacturer says. But what I can't get over is the No Mar Tyre (spelled this way on the jar) Lube.
    I needed the bar to remove the tire, but was able to reinstall the tire entirely BY HAND!
    You can buy a jar of the tire lube direct or on Amazon.
    I'm sold! Ruglyde and Coates Tire Cream are ok, but this stuff is amazing.
    I practiced on an old Enasave and aftermarket Mirage steel wheel (ebay cheap wheel from China). I'll install the new tire on the original wheel tomorrow, since it's getting dark now, but I'm very happy with how this stuff works.
