     My new TS501 cannot find the new after-market tpms sensors just installed. It is possible these sensors are the incorrect sensor for my vehicle. Is it possible to activate/trigger these sensors to get their ID from a generic vehicle instead of my specific vehicle?

    search the sensor part number online to make sure it fits your car.

      As far as blank sensors that need to be programmed, as far as I know.  Autel TPMS tools can only read and program it's own brand blank programmable Autel brand  MX TPMS sensors.  Other brand sensors than Autel need to be programmed by Bartek, SnapOn, etc that you may need to bend over and grab your ankles in order to do. After they have IDs programmed into them The Autel TPMS tools can then read most TPMS sensors.
