The OTC TPMS Kit is the Total Solution!

There are over 40 million vehicles currently equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS), and today all new vehicles sold in the US are required to have this system. TPMS equipped vehicles require special tools to perform routine tire rotation/replacement and related services. Specifically, a tool kit that provides the capability to test wheel sensors and “reset” the TPMS are required.

Featuring easy menus, graphics, and directions, the Tire Pressure Monitor Tool Kit is a complete universal kit providing the tools and information necessary to test wheel sensors and reset TPMS. The software has the options to Auto Scan or Diagnostics to analyze the wheel sensors. A complete Reset Procedure is also included in the software to walk the user through the complete process. The manual contains the critical reset procedure references along with all the system information including torque specifications. Using the TPM tool in conjunction with the reset manual provides the essential combination for servicing TPMS.

The TPM Tool’s main function is to activate the tire sensors in a Direct TPMS. There are a couple different situations that sensors require activation, and in most cases, reading the transmitted data. These are covered in the TPM Tool software under the following features:

Auto Scan - capability to walk up to any TPM equipped vehicle and activate the sensor with the push of a button; searches through all the communication protocols until the sensor is activated; after activation, the sensor transmits information which is displayed on the screen.
Diagnostics - allows for quick check of sensor via the Make-Year-Model entry
system. Selection of the specific vehicle eliminates the search time of proper
protocol. Transmitted sensor information is displayed when available. Like the
Auto Scan feature, this is a powerful feature that allows the technician to validate
that all the sensors are functional before any work is started on the wheels/tires.
Reset Procedure - the key function that “resets” or “relearns” the tire locations and will turn off the dash light. This function is accessed via the vehicle entry and graphically walks the user through all the necessary steps to complete the reset procedure.
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Fob Test - allows for the testing of RF transmitting devices such as RKE fobs, garage door openers, and tire sensors. In this mode, the screen displays the signal strength and “Fob Detected” is prompted. This feature is perfect for determining signal strength representing battery status of RF devices.
Last Saved Data and Printing - available once the Auto Scan or Diagnostics feature has activated a sensor and the received information was saved. Selecting Save from the Activation screen saves the sensor information and allows the current date to be entered. The sensor information, date and vehicle application are all saved under the Last Saved function. From this location the saved data can be printed via the optional printer. This printout can then be shared with the customer in cases one or more of the sensors are not functional. This provides improved customer satisfaction and limits service liability.
Reset Manual - The Reset Manual is a key part of the reset procedure in that
it provides the instruction to put the vehicle in “Learn Mode”, which is a required
step in a typical reset procedure. Without this instruction, the technician cannot
effectively reset the system, thus the importance of having this information
readily available. The Quick Reference manual covers both Direct and Indirect
systems and contains the following topics:
- TPMS Description
- Reset Requirements
- Torque Specifications
- Reset Procedures
The Quick Reference manual provides the key information for placing the vehicle
in Learn Mode and completing the Reset Procedure.

TIPS Tool Features:

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.
