ATEQ Universal Tire Pressure Sensor Activation Tool
Challenge:
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 built into the valve
stem that transmits information (inflation pressure, sensor id,
temperature, etc.) to the vehicle control module. Each time the
tires/wheels are rotated, the sensors need to be retrained with
their new position, thereby requiring the need for a tool that
"triggers" or "programs" the transmitter at the appropriate time
during servicing. ATEQ was founded in 1975 with the vision of replacing all the
traditional production line leak detection methods for water testing
with computerized leak testers. ATEQ is now the number one world
supplier in the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) field and
supplies an entire range of TPMS activation tools for both assembly
lines and tire repair shops. From it's initial successes in Western
Europe, thirty-five years after its creation, ATEQ is now a $50
million global company with offices in 22 countries. ATEQ built a
unique international network with engineers that have designed and
now sell the TPMS line to more than 5000 car assembly manufacturers
and suppliers.

What this brief video to see how really simple this tool is to use, no other tool even comes close.
The ATEQ VT55 OBDII TPMS activation tool is the most advanced way to
synchronize and turn the tire warning light OFF !

On top of the latest US manufactured vehicles, the ATEQ VT55 OBDII
reprograms Asian and European vehicles (including Toyota, Honda,
Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, Mitsubishi etc) which do not feature a TPMS
self reprogramming software.
ATEQ's VT55 OBDII includes a universal OBD connector which connects
to the vehicle ECU via CANbus and K-line.
Technicians only have to select the make of the vehicle and press
the START button. It is that easy and fast to accurately activate,
decode TPMS sensors and display their data or any faults they may
have.
Training is nearly inexistent as the whole process is displayed
on-screen. Even the newest recruited technician can use the VT55
OBDII because they simply follow on-screen instructions as they'll
guide you through the procedure to trigger the tires.
Forever up to date with Plug & Play Internet synchronization. This
is extremely important because you never know the brand of the next
TPMS valve you might encounter!
The VT 55 OBDII has a unique interface that is so easy to use, it
puts the competitors to shame. The technology is so advanced that it
is patented! The TPMS sensors database, classified by car
manufacturers, is built into the tool and is constantly updated when
ever you go online.
The VT55 OBDII is equipped with a built-in RS232 connector as well
as a USB connector. Combined with a PC software and a cable included
in its box, the VT55 OBDII can synchronize with our online sensors
protocols database.
It is as simple as selecting the car maker you wish to test and then
press the "TEST" button. You'll never have to turn down a customer
again, every vehicle can be worked on without the aid of an
expensive scanner tool.
|
The VT55 OBDII unit is also an RF key tester. Simply position it next to the key, press the key and read its signal on your device to make sure it functions correctly. |
|
|

What are you going to do? How do you reprogram
sensors in your shop?
All new vehicles and most used
cars are equipped with tire pressure monitoring sensors.
Additionally most all of these systems use a "direct" approach which
incorporates the use of wheel based transmitters or sensors
(typically incorporated into the valve stem). These report tire
pressure (in addition to the sensor ID) to the engine control module
(ECM) or some specific controller module on the vehicle. For most of
these vehicles, specifically those that use TPMS positioning
indicators on the instrument cluster or electronic vehicle
information console (EVIC), each time that you rotate tries / wheels
(or if a defective sensor is replaced) the TPMS 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
the correct pressures, but they will be reported in the wrong
position on the vehicle information console or instrument cluster.
Each time the tires are rotated or the wheel positions are changed
the system must be reprogrammed to recognize the new
location.

The ATEQ Universal TPMS Activation Tool automatically chooses the
correct triggering protocol or allows the user to select the desired
protocol. What makes this tool 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
manufactures.
A simple four-step process that solves your problems, in just minutes...
1. Before changing or rotating tires/wheels, identify the type of system and perform a diagnostic check of all wheel sensors. This assures all sensors are working properly before performing maintenance on the vehicle.
2. Change or rotate tires and wheels
3. Aim the VT55 at the sensors, push the button and simply follow the simple instructions on the LED panel.
The tool is cost effective and extremely simple to use. They are heavy duty and designed to stand up to harsh shop environments, including resisting numerous oils and fluids found in today's shops. Most importantly, the unit is constantly upgrading so that the newest formats can are downloaded into the tool for ease and functionality.
