Autel automotive diagnostic scanner MP808S-TS

If you mainly need basic fault-code checks, a simpler scanner may be enough, the Autel MaxiPRO MP808S-TS is aimed at buyers who also want TPMS work, active tests and ECU coding in one tool. Its listed functions cover several workshop tasks, from reading system codes to programming MX-sensors, but vehicle coverage and individual functions can vary. The two-year update offer has a registration window, so it is worth treating that as a condition rather than an automatic benefit. For a shop handling varied diagnostic and tyre-service jobs, the broader feature set could be useful, for occasional checks, it may be more tool than you need.

Key specifications

The MP808S-TS is an all-system, bidirectional diagnostic scanner with full TPMS functions and ECU coding. Autel lists more than 31 service functions, including oil reset, SAS, EPB, BMS, ABS, injector and throttle services. It can read and clear manufacturer-specific DTCs, display graphic live data and run active tests such as switching a radiator fan, lights, horn or fuel pump on and off. These tests can help narrow down a fault, though they do not by themselves confirm which part needs replacement.

The product description lists Android 11, a 1.8GHz quad-core CPU, 4G/64G RAM/ROM and dual-band 2.4 and 5GHz Wi-Fi. It also claims coverage for more than 150 vehicle brands and models from 1996 to 2026, plus diagnostic access to 2018+ FCA SGW vehicles through built-in AutoAuth. Treat those as stated coverage, not a guarantee that every function works on every vehicle. The free two-year software updates require registration within the dates specified by the seller: May 31, 2024 to December 31, 2026.

Who it’s for

This scanner is geared towards mechanics and workshops that want to combine routine service resets with deeper system diagnostics and TPMS work. A practical example: after a tyre service, you could use it to check TPMS status and follow a relearn procedure, then run a system scan if a warning light remains. Its listed 3,000+ relearn procedures and support for programming MX-sensors are relevant to that workflow, subject to vehicle and sensor compatibility.

It suits you if you regularly need bidirectional tests, coding or TPMS functions alongside fault-code reading. It won’t suit you if you only want to read and clear basic engine codes, a more basic scanner would be a simpler match. The listing also mentions VAG Guided Function and offline coding for certain named makes, but does not provide a vehicle-by-vehicle function table here.

Included features

The MP808S-TS brings all-system scanning, active tests, ECU coding, TPMS service and more than 31 reset or maintenance functions into one device. TPMS tasks listed include activating and relearning sensors, programming MX-sensors, checking status and retrofitting TPMS. The menu is described as supporting 14+ languages. These functions are more extensive than a basic code reader, but the extra capability matters most when you have suitable vehicles and a regular need for those service procedures.

Before You Decide

Does it include software updates? The listing describes two years of free updates, conditional on registration during the stated May 31, 2024 to December 31, 2026 window.

Can it perform ECU coding? ECU coding is listed, including matching, relearning and recoding newly installed ECUs. The description names offline coding for certain makes, but does not spell out coverage for every model.

Can it access FCA security-gateway vehicles? The listing says diagnostic access for 2018+ FCA SGW vehicles is available through its built-in AutoAuth service. That is a specific access feature, not a promise that every diagnostic function is supported on every vehicle.

Final verdict

Choose the MP808S-TS if TPMS work, service resets and advanced diagnostics all feature in your day-to-day jobs, and you can make use of its coding and active-test functions. Skip the added breadth if your needs stop at occasional code reading, or if you require confirmed support for a particular vehicle function that the listing does not identify. The deciding point is not simply the number of features, but whether its specialised functions match the vehicles and work you actually handle.
