Product Safety, Installation & Compliance Disclaimer

This page explains the safe selection, fitting and use of TPMS sensors, diagnostic tools, DIY kits and related automotive accessories supplied by MyTPMS Australia, ABN 53 807 701 500. The ABN entity is The Trustee for Automate TPMS Australia Trust. Our workshop and dispatch premises are in Springvale, Victoria.

Read this information with the instructions for your exact product, the vehicle manufacturer’s service procedure and the terms supplied with your purchase. A general guide cannot cover every vehicle, import specification, wheel combination or tool software version. If instructions conflict or a step is unclear, stop and contact us before proceeding.

For help with product selection or an installation question, contact [email protected] or 1300 818 030.

Product listings describe the item offered, its stated application, included components and availability. Stock and lead times can vary by item. If an ordered item cannot be supplied as represented, we will explain the available options; we will not substitute a materially different product without your agreement.

Descriptions and fitment information

Descriptions and compatibility information should match the goods supplied. A supplier specification change does not remove the promises made for an accepted order. If the product received differs materially from its description, or our listing or advice specified an unsuitable product, contact us for an appropriate remedy under the Returns & Refund Policy and applicable law.

A vehicle’s build date, market specification, sensor protocol and valve arrangement can affect fitment. Where the listing leaves your application uncertain, send us the vehicle details before ordering.

Regulatory requirements depend on the exact product and the market where it is supplied or used. Compliance markings and supporting records relate to a particular model or configuration; they are not interchangeable approvals for the whole catalogue.

Contact [email protected] with the brand, model, part number and intended country of use if you need compliance information. We can provide relevant supplier or manufacturer documents held for that item. A request for documents does not transfer MyTPMS’s own supplier obligations to the customer.

Internal sensors may be attached to a valve or a separate mounting arrangement. Access normally requires tyre bead release or demounting using appropriate tyre equipment. External valve-mounted sensors follow a different procedure; use the instructions for that particular product.

Fitting and handover checks

• Valve and service parts: Use the specified valve, seals, fasteners and service components. Follow the manufacturer’s directions about replacement parts and reuse.
• Torque: Use the exact value and unit for the relevant nut, screw or valve component. There is no single safe torque range for every TPMS sensor. If the specification is missing, obtain it before fitting.
• Tyre service: Position the fitting equipment to avoid striking the sensor. Check sealing, inflation, balance and wheel fasteners using the applicable wheel and vehicle procedures.
• Inflation: Set pressures to the vehicle placard or manufacturer’s specification for the tyre and load, and check for leaks. Do not substitute the tyre sidewall maximum for the vehicle’s recommended pressure.
• System operation: Complete any required programming, ID registration or relearn, then verify the system response and wheel positions where supported.

Installation damage is assessed according to its cause. Damage caused solely by a third-party fitting error may fall outside manufacturing-defect cover, but it does not automatically cancel unrelated warranty claims or statutory rights. MyTPMS remains responsible for its own products, services and representations as required by law.

Frequency, communication protocol, sensor type, valve fitment and vehicle configuration all matter. A matching frequency or part-number cross-reference alone may not establish compatibility. Imported vehicles can differ from Australian-delivered models with the same badge.

• Vehicle identity: Make, model, build date, VIN or chassis number, original market and any relevant wheel or TPMS modifications.
• System type: Establish whether the vehicle has direct wheel-sensor TPMS, an indirect system or an aftermarket display system. Replacement sensors cannot add factory direct TPMS to an unsupported vehicle on their own.
• Sensor and tool match: Confirm the exact radio or Bluetooth protocol, sensor part number and programming-tool coverage.
• Learning method: Determine whether the vehicle needs automatic learning, a stationary procedure, OBD registration or cloning of existing IDs. Do not assume driving will register every new sensor.

Customers should provide accurate vehicle information. This does not remove our responsibility for inaccurate listings or advice. A claim arising from an incorrect description or recommendation is assessed under applicable consumer rights and is not limited to the 30-day voluntary change-of-mind window.

TPMS assists with pressure monitoring, but it does not replace checking tyres, maintaining the correct pressure or investigating handling problems. Warning thresholds, display behaviour and update intervals vary by vehicle and system.

• Regular checks: Use a reliable gauge and the vehicle’s cold-pressure specification. Check at the intervals in the owner’s manual and before a long trip or a substantial load change.
• Temperature: Pressure changes with tyre temperature. A cold-weather warning still needs a pressure check; warming the tyres is not a substitute for correcting inflation.
• System faults: Flashing lamps, missing readings or persistent warnings can indicate a fault. Follow the owner’s manual and arrange diagnosis rather than assuming a particular driving time will clear the issue.
• Battery and signal limitations: Battery depletion, damage, incompatible programming or interference can affect communication. A missing reading does not identify the cause on its own.
• Spare wheels and positions: Spare-wheel monitoring and position learning are vehicle-specific. Confirm the required IDs and wheel layout for the actual vehicle.
• Aftermarket displays: Use the correct pressure units and application settings. A separate monitoring display does not necessarily repair or replace a factory TPMS function.

A warning-free dashboard or a successful sensor scan alone does not establish that the tyres and vehicle are safe to drive.

DIY TPMS kits help customers carry out supported programming, cloning or vehicle registration steps. Internal sensor fitting still requires appropriate tyre-service skills and equipment; many customers use a local tyre shop for that work and then complete the supported programming steps with our guidance.

Before using a kit

• Check the kit contents, vehicle application, sensor type, software requirements and learning method against your order and the instructions.
• Read the product manual and the vehicle-specific procedure before starting. Record existing IDs when the chosen method requires them.
• Arrange professional tyre fitting for internal sensors unless you have the training and equipment required for safe tyre service.
• Park safely before operating a phone, programmer or diagnostic tool. Follow the vehicle’s lifting and support instructions if wheel removal is required.
• If a procedure differs from the instructions or fails, stop and contact us before repeating writes, changing settings or replacing further parts.

Phone and email support can assist with tool operation and supported programming or relearn steps. Remote support cannot inspect the physical condition of a tyre or confirm that fitting work is safe. See the TPMS Relearn Guide and how-to videos for the relevant application.

Warranty cover for kit components follows the terms supplied with the purchase and the Warranty Policy. A sensor’s warranty must not be assumed to cover every tool or accessory in the kit. Longer or lifetime coverage already promised for a particular purchase remains honoured, alongside applicable consumer guarantees.

Diagnostic functions depend on the exact tool, firmware, application and vehicle. Consult the listing and manual for your A01, A02 or other tool. A Bluetooth connection, a sensor-reading function or an OBD plug does not by itself establish support for every programming or registration operation.

Safe tool use

• Use supported software and procedures. Confirm the selected vehicle and function before writing any data.
• Follow the manufacturer’s sequence for ignition state, connection and disconnection. Maintain the power conditions specified for the procedure; do not interrupt a write or update.
• Operate handheld tools and phone apps while stationary. Keep cables clear of pedals, steering and moving parts. Any prescribed drive cycle must allow the driver to concentrate on driving.
• Use the specified charging supply and suitable undamaged cables. Keep ports dry and stop using damaged or overheating equipment.
• Do not make unauthorised hardware or firmware modifications. Seek service advice if a tool malfunctions.

Interpret readings with the vehicle’s symptoms, service information and physical checks. Clearing a fault code is not proof that its cause has been repaired.

Wireless TPMS products use different technologies, including conventional radio-frequency sensors and Bluetooth-based systems. Frequency, protocol, transmit characteristics and the intended market must all be suitable. No frequency value alone proves fitment or regulatory compliance.

Australian ACMA requirements and New Zealand Radio Spectrum Management requirements must be assessed for the relevant product. An overseas marking does not automatically satisfy Australian requirements, and Australian supply does not establish approval for every overseas market.

If persistent communication problems occur, check configuration and investigate possible interference using the relevant service procedure. Do not modify the transmitter, antenna or firmware to overcome a compatibility problem. Contact [email protected] for product information.

Replacement parts and fitting work should preserve the vehicle’s intended safety functions. Roadworthiness and inspection requirements depend on the state or territory, vehicle category and reason for the inspection; there is no single periodic inspection rule for all Australian vehicles.

A sensor listing, radio compliance marking or this disclaimer is not a roadworthy certificate. A persistent warning can arise from pressures, configuration, sensors, receivers or other vehicle faults and needs appropriate diagnosis. Our TPMS Relearn Guide provides application guidance; contact us if your vehicle differs from the procedure shown.

Battery chemistry, construction, charging arrangements and temperature limits differ by product. Many internal wheel sensors have sealed primary lithium cells; other sensors and tools may have removable or rechargeable batteries. Follow the instructions for the exact model. A sealed sensor battery must not be opened or recharged unless the manufacturer expressly designs it for that purpose.

• Prevent damage: Do not puncture, crush, short-circuit, burn or deliberately dismantle a sealed battery or sensor.
• Temperature and charging: Observe the specified operating, storage and charging limits. Keep products away from flames and excessive heat; do not apply a single generic temperature limit to every wheel sensor and handheld tool.
• Damaged equipment: Stop using or charging an item that is swollen, leaking, unusually hot or physically damaged. Avoid contact with leaks and obtain handling advice from a suitable hazardous-battery service.
• Transport: Contact us and the carrier before arranging a return. Battery type, condition, packaging and route affect acceptance. Damaged or recalled batteries must not be posted through Australia Post.
• Emergency: If an item is smoking, hissing, rapidly heating or burning, move away and contact emergency services. In Australia call 000. Do not risk injury to move the item.

For a battery-related exposure or suspected ingestion, seek urgent medical or Poisons Information Centre advice. In Australia call 13 11 26; call 000 for an immediate emergency. Follow professional advice for the particular exposure and do not wait for a response from our sales team.

Keep batteries and battery-containing electronics out of ordinary rubbish and kerbside recycling. Use an appropriate collection service, and check its acceptance conditions for your exact product. Requirements and available services vary by location.

• Complete sensors and tools: Ask a council e-waste service or specialist recycler whether it accepts the complete device with an embedded battery. Do not open a sealed sensor just to remove its cell.
• Removable batteries: Where the product manual permits safe removal, follow the recycler’s instructions for protecting terminals and preparing batteries for drop-off.
• B-cycle: The B-cycle finder helps locate Australian battery collection points. Check accepted items first; a loose-battery bin is not automatically suitable for a whole TPMS sensor or diagnostic tool.
• Damaged batteries: Do not leave leaking, swollen or damaged battery products in a public collection bin. Obtain facility-specific advice before moving or delivering them.
• Overseas customers: Use the local battery or electrical-equipment collection pathway and follow the relevant authority’s instructions.

For help identifying the product or a suitable next step, email [email protected] with the model, condition and location. Do not send waste or damaged battery products to our workshop without an agreed safe return arrangement.

Store parts securely during fitting and after removal. Check that battery compartments and housings remain intact. A damaged sensor housing can expose small components or the battery; keep it away from children and seek safe handling advice.

Safety requirements for products containing button or coin batteries depend on the product’s design and the applicable standard. Being an automotive accessory or being intended for adults does not by itself establish an exemption. Follow the product’s safety warnings and keep batteries secure.

Product specifications, quality checks and test records depend on the brand, model and supply arrangement. If you need confirmation of checks performed on your order, provide the order number and sensor or tool details. A successful sensor communication test does not certify the complete vehicle system or predict an exact remaining battery life.

Warranty and consumer guarantees

Eligible AUTOMATE retail sensors carry lifetime manufacturing-defect coverage under the Warranty Policy. Trade supply, non-AUTOMATE products, tools and kit components can have different terms. The warranty represented or supplied when you purchased remains applicable; this page does not reduce earlier promises or automatically extend one component’s cover to a whole kit.

Normal end-of-life wear and damage caused by misuse or fitting errors are assessed separately from manufacturing defects. An early battery failure or a product that does not meet its description may still give rise to rights. Warranty periods do not set the duration of Australian consumer guarantees.

To raise a claim, contact [email protected] with available proof of purchase, the product details and the symptoms. We will advise the appropriate assessment and return process. Reasonable return costs for a confirmed consumer-guarantee problem are handled according to your entitlement; original packaging or a short notification period is not an automatic barrier.

Report a suspected safety problem promptly. Stop using the affected product where it is unsafe, and do not continue driving on an unsafe tyre. Contact [email protected] or 1300 818 030 with the order number, product details, symptoms and batch or lot number if available. Photographs can help if they can be taken safely.

We respond to product safety enquiries within one business day. This response target is not an emergency service or a promise that every technical investigation will finish that day. Approved refunds are initiated within three business days after approval, with bank processing treated separately, as set out in the Returns & Refund Policy. Any applicable recall direction or earlier recall commitment remains in effect.

You may also contact ACCC Product Safety or the relevant safety authority directly. You do not need to complete our internal process first.

MyTPMS is responsible for its goods, services and representations as required by law. When a failure to meet a consumer guarantee causes reasonably foreseeable loss, a customer may be entitled to compensation in addition to a repair, replacement or refund. These entitlements are assessed on the facts and applicable law.

• Fitting and tool use: If loss is caused solely by independent misuse or a third-party installation error, responsibility may rest with the person who caused it. We consider whether a product defect, inaccurate instruction or our own service also contributed.
• Fitment advice: Customers should provide accurate vehicle details. A failure to obtain separate advice does not remove a remedy where our listing, description or recommendation was inaccurate.
• Associated costs: Claims for diagnosis, tyre removal, refitting, balancing, towing or other losses are assessed for cause, reasonable necessity, evidence and legal entitlement. They are not automatically excluded or automatically reimbursed.
• Useful records: Keep available invoices, photographs, scan results and technician findings. If practical, contact us before incurring further costs; necessary urgent action to prevent harm is not made conditional on prior approval.

General guides should be applied to the correct product and vehicle. This does not disclaim responsibility for advice or services provided for a particular purchase. If you wish to raise a claim, describe the issue and requested remedy at [email protected].

International delivery is available to supported destinations, subject to the product, carrier and destination requirements. A product containing a radio transmitter or lithium battery may have specific shipping or import conditions. Check the listing and checkout information and contact us before ordering if an approval or supporting document is needed.

Tax and destination charges

Prices are in Australian dollars unless stated otherwise. Australian consumer prices include GST where applicable. International tax treatment and any destination duties, taxes or clearance charges depend on the transaction and the arrangements disclosed at checkout or in an agreed quotation. See the Payment Security Policy and Shipping Policy for the relevant terms; this page does not promise a particular customs outcome.

Product approval and shipping

Customers should identify their intended destination and use accurately. The parties’ import and supply responsibilities depend on applicable law and the agreed delivery terms; they are not all transferred to the buyer by this disclaimer. We can provide relevant product documents held for the item, but shipping availability alone does not establish permission to use it in every country.

Orders are subject to applicable export restrictions, sanctions and carrier acceptance. We do not represent that every catalogue item is exempt from all export controls. Delivery estimates, available services and return arrangements are explained in the Shipping Policy.

Mandatory rights and obligations can depend on the destination, the product and how the transaction is conducted. The regional guidance below does not represent approval of every product for every country. Local rights that lawfully apply are not displaced by choosing Victorian law or publishing this disclaimer.

Contact us with the exact part number and destination when you need product information. For local inspection, import or legal requirements, the relevant authority can explain what applies. No statement here guarantees that a replacement sensor has passed a complete-vehicle approval test.

Vehicle names, model names, logos and third-party product brands belong to their respective owners. Vehicle and OE part-number references identify applications and replacements; they do not by themselves imply vehicle-manufacturer affiliation, endorsement or an authorised supply relationship.

AUTOMATE is the product brand used by MyTPMS for its AUTOMATE range. Autel, Hamaton and other identified brands remain third-party brands. The individual listing describes whether a product is genuine OE, branded aftermarket or an OE-compatible replacement.

Original website text, photographs, guides and other materials are protected where applicable by intellectual property law. Some images, software and other materials may belong to suppliers or licensors. Please seek permission before reusing material unless a licence or an applicable legal exception permits that use.

We may update this page when product information, safety guidance or relevant requirements change. The last-updated date identifies the revision. A change does not withdraw warranties, representations or other commitments that applied to an existing purchase.

Where a material safety issue affects a supplied product, follow the specific safety or recall notice. We will use appropriate notices and available customer contact details to communicate required action. A safety update is not conditional on subscribing to marketing messages.

For current instructions or compliance information for your product, contact [email protected] with the order and part details.
