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.
