The federal law requiring new passenger vehicles to
be outfitted with Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems
(TPMS) has produced a wide variety of solutions.
Many automobile manufacturers have selected the
direct approach. This approach incorporates the use
of a transmitter attached to the wheel that transmits
information (inflation pressure, sensor ID,
temperature, etc.) to the vehicle control module. Each
time the tires/wheels are rotated, the sensors may
need to be retrained with their new positions thereby
requiring the need for a tool that “triggers” the
transmitter at the appropriate time during
programming.
There are a number of different TPM sensors
manufactured today with various triggering techniques
including magnetic and electronic frequency sensor
initiation. Additionally, multiple frequency bands are
used to carry the transmitted signal to the vehicle
control module. Each TPM manufacturer has
designed a service tool for their specific sensor. This
results in the requirement for service facilities to
purchase multiple TPM service tools.
The patented technology of the T.I.P.S.© tool eliminates the need to purchase
multiple TPM tools. This tool accommodates both magnetically and electronically
triggered tire pressure sensors. There is no need to purchase multiple TPM tools
when T.I.P.S.© is the only sensor activation tool you need!*
* We continually seek to acquire all manufacturers modulated wave formats. We are sometimes
unable to obtain sensor formats prior to release of a vehicle to the marketplace. The T.I.P.S.
covers a wide range of vehicle manufacturers; however we cannot guarantee that this tool will
cover all vehicle models. |
