    I've got a Mini VCI with the current release of Techstream 8.xx and it runs well. But I can't see any TPMS menu within the values. Can anyone with Techstream confirm that they see the TPMS values on their Gen III ?

    Thanks in advance :)

    Well, I can answer my dumb question myself. TPMS Menu is there ... if the car has a TPMS CPU that will answer. But my car has none since it's production date was just a few months before TPMS was available in the EU Prius.

    Do you know if the TPMS CPU was part of the US Gen Prius?

    It's on my 2010 Prius and I can access it with Techstream 6 and 7; haven't tried 8 yet.

    Note that to access the TPMS ECU, you need a vehicle interface capable of KWP2000 protocol, aka, the "K-line."
