What’s the difference between 2026 new Autel MaxiSys MS906 Max, MS906 Pro and MS906 Pro TS?
Autel MaxiSYS MS906 Max, MS906 Pro, and MS906 Pro-TS are closely related professional diagnostic tablets in the Autel 906 series. They share core OE-level all-systems diagnostics, bi-directional control (active tests), ECU coding/adaptations, DoIP/CAN FD support, VCI V200, 40+ service functions, FCA AutoAuth (secure gateway), AutoVIN/Scan VIN/License, Pre/Post-scan, Remote Expert, and expandability (ADAS, battery test with BT506, endoscope with MV108S). Differences center on screen size, cameras, TPMS integration, and minor hardware/software refinements.

|---|---|---|---|
| All-systems diagnostics (read/clear codes, live data, freeze frame) | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Bi-directional / Active Tests | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Service / Maintenance functions | 40+ | 40+ | 40+ |
| ECU Coding / Adaptations | Yes | Yes | Yes |

TPMS is the clearest functional differentiator for the “TS” model. MS906 Max is positioned as a hardware/UI upgrade over the Pro with improved scanning speed and larger display; core diagnostic depth remains very similar.
Key Differences Summary
- MS906 Pro: Base advanced diagnostic tablet (8-inch). No built-in full TPMS.
- MS906 Pro-TS: Same as MS906 Pro + integrated TPMS antenna for complete TPMS services (activate/read sensors, program Autel 1-Sensor/MX-Sensors, relearn, diagnostics, retrofit). Ideal for tire shops.
- MS906 Max (newer upgrade of the Pro series): Larger 10.1-inch screen, Auto Scan 2.0 (faster scanning), similar core software/functions to Pro (no built-in full TPMS). Better visibility for workshops; slightly different camera setup.
- The MS906MAX has the same screen size as the MS909 but the MAX does not include Topology and is not compatible with the MaxiFlash VCI (J2534). The MAX is compatible with ADAS.
