No one does a more thorough TIPM Rebuild than MAKS

How can you trust a rebuilt module? We’re happy you asked. While some companies do the bare minimum, MAKS starts from scratch to deliver modules that look and function like new. Read more below about the extremely detailed process we’ve developed and are continuously perfecting.

REBUILD PROCESS

TIPMS

INITIAL TESTING
We first test the original TIPM on our custom-built vehicle simulator. Invented at MAKS, this device allows us to isolate faults in the circuitry and electronic components for every year, make, model, and electrical option.

01

DISASSEMBLY
We completely disassemble the housing and module to start from scratch like we’re building it for the first time again.

02

ULTRASONIC CLEANING
The case and fuse plates are ultrasonically treated in an environmentally safe chemical wash that removes the road salts, grease, dirt, grime, etc., restoring the casing to a like-new state.

03

FUSE REPLACEMENT

We replace every single fuse in the TIPM with the latest, brand new revision from the original equipment manufacturer.

04

RELAY VERIFICATION

Every internal and external relay is tested for Ohms response, and anything that tests even slightly out of spec is replaced with the latest-revision OEM component.

05

BOARD INSPECTION

The power and logic boards undergo thorough inspection for any corrosion or broken traces. If found, corrosion is mitigated, and traces are repaired with lasting fixes that will outlive the life of the vehicle.

06

REASSEMBLY & BENCH TESTING

With all the components restored and inspected, we reassemble the TIPM and test once again in our proprietary desktop simulator.

07

LIVE VEHICLE TESTING

Yes, we actually test the rebuilt TIPM in a live vehicle, testing every electrical feature under real-world conditions.

08

DIGITAL CLEARING

Finally, the TIPM is digitally on our proprietary equipment that erases any prior VIN, readying it to accept the new VIN and synchronize automatically, eliminating the need for expensive additional programming.

09

CARE & QUALITY
SHIPPING

We don’t cut corners, even with our packaging. MAKS packages every TIPM in our box that’s 40% more durable than standard USPS packaging, made from 100% recycled materials, and printed with non-toxic, water-based inks. They are study enough to get you your new part safely, and ship back your original TIPM under our Core Buyback Program.
