TPMS - Tyre Pressure Monitoring System Tools
Bartec
Bartec has a range of products designed to meet the complete scope of requirements for diagnosing TPMS problems thereby limiting liability before repairing them. The tools can be used to: re-train or register new sensors with the vehicle ECU; rotate TPMS wheels and tires; ensure the correct replacement sensor is fitted; turn off the TPMS warning light and several other important functions. The product line includes:
Wheelrite TECH300SD
The tool supports the replacement of TPMS sensors and the reprogramming of the car and turns the warning light off (if the vehicle engine management software has a built in relearn option). The tool actually decodes the sensor data which ensures that the correct TPMS is being read and that the tool is not fooled by RF transmissions from keyfobs or other sensors. The audit process allows the operator to display the data on screen but also to transfer it to a PC and print out an audit of the car and show the customer which TPMS is faulty and the nature of the fault. This is key to gaining the customer's confidence and agreement to pay for work to be done before the wheel is broken down. This tool also displays the replacement part number and service kit. It will also advise the user of the wrong TPMS has been fitted. This tool works with all cars on the market.

Wheelrite TECH400SD
Wheelrite TECH400SD is the flagship of the aftermarket range. It does everything the TECH300 and TECH300SD do but also is designed to enable the reprogramming of those cars which do not have a 'TPMS relearn' facility in the engine management software of the vehicle. This largely relates to Asian and European manufactured vehicles (including Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, Mitsubishi etc).
