In September 2007, Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems, commonly known as TPM systems, must be installed on all automobiles and light trucks manufactured after that date. There are hundreds of thousands of vehicles on the road today that already have this technology. The majority of these systems use a "direct" system. This system uses wheel based transmitters or sensors (typically incorporated into the valve stem.) The sensor reports tire pressure (and other important information) to the engine control module (ECM) or some specific controller module on the vehicle. Each time that you replace or rotate tires / wheels (or if a defective sensor is replaced) the TPM sensors must be retrained or reprogrammed in order to properly inform the driver of the correct vehicle location for a low or high pressure tire. If the receivers are not reprogrammed, the system will continue to report information but the information may be incorrect such as: correct tire pressure but wrong position on the vehicle information console or instrument cluster.

What makes the OTC TPMS Tool Kit so unique is that it has been designed to trigger ALL known magnetic and frequency triggered tire sensors that have been installed at the factory by original equipment manufacturers. The OTC TPMS Tool delivers Global Technology Today!

The OTC TPMS Tool Kit provides the ability to trigger magnetic, "modulated wave" and "continuous wave" electronically triggered TPM sensors. The OTC TPMS Tool Kit is a "cut above" other tools because it provides on-screen step by step "easy to follow" instructions that will give you visual and audible confirmation that the TPM sensor has been triggered and is working properly.

Total Solution for TPMS Servicing - OTC TPM Tool Kit
The OTC Tire Pressure Monitor Kit is designed to be a complete universal kit covering vehicles with Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS). The software has the option to AutoScan the wheel sensor or utilize the vehicle entry system for easy and accurate access to the proper interface to the vehicle. The manual contains the critical reset procedures along with all the system information including torque specifications and wiring diagrams.

The monitor has a graphical interface that allows for use of the tool with little or no knowledge of TPM systems. The monitor and manual frequently updated to keep up with changing vehicle requirements.

The TPM Tool includes software that includes the following features:

AutoScan
The new AutoScan features provides the capability to walk up to any TPM equipped vehicle and activate the sensor with the push of a button. This will search through all the communication protocols until the sensor is activated, then a successful activation is shown on the display.

Diagnostics
The Diagnostics feature allows for quick check of sensor via the Make – Model – Year vehicle entry system. Selection of the specific vehicle eliminates the search time of proper protocol. Live sensor information is displayed when available. Powerful feature that allows the technician to validate that all the sensors are functional before any work is started.

Reset Procedure
The Reset Procedure is the key function that “resets” the tire locations and will turn off the dash light. This function is accessed via the vehicle entry and walks the user through all the necessary steps to complete the reset procedure.
