Universal Tire Pressure Sensor Activation Tool
 

Challenge:
 
New Federal Mandate and Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems...

    

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.

There are dozens of different Tire Pressure Monitoring 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.  This results in the requirement for service facilities to purchase multiple TPMS service tools.

GWR and Premier Nitrogen, after investigations, significant research and finalization meetings, has decided to work with the largest of manufacturers of TPMS service tools.  Their patented technology and VT55 tool eliminates the need to purchase multiple TPMS tools.  This tool accommodates both magnetically and electronically triggered tire pressure sensors.

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.

ATEQ's VT55  "The Cadillac of the Line"

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.
 

ATEQ's VT55 OBDII is a universal TPMS sensor activator that can also program the vehicle ECU if required. Compatible with all currently known TPMS sensors, it has a built in synchronization software that makes sure that it stays up-to-date with all the new TPMS sensors introduced every year. The VT55 OBDII is equipped with the latest advanced stream decoding technology that can trigger and decode sensors much faster and more accurately than previous generation devices.

Designed to last in rough environments like tire repair shops, comes with plastic cover and leather case. The VT55 OBDII can handle high volume testing for an entire day due to its rechargeable battery. The VT55 OBDII triggers all newly mounted TPMS sensors, reprograms the car ECU and turns the warning light off. The VT55 OBDII uses the relearn option of the vehicle ECU software if available or uses the OBD connector whenever required. ATEQ's VT55 OBDII decodes the sensor data and ensures that the correct Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor is being read and that the RF transmission doesn't come from key fobs or other sensors.

This unique and patented tool allows the operator to display the data on screen but also to transfer it to a PC, print out results and then show the customer which TPMS is faulty and why. The tool displays : sensor ID, pressure, battery status, temperature, accelerometer etc.

VT55 OBDII's OBD software is compatible with all Asian and European vehicle brands that require OBD synchronization and its software is updateable by using a standard USB cable hooked to a PC. The very simple PC interface guides the user through a minimum of steps. An upgradeable TPMS tool has never been so important, brand new Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors are being fitted to new car models at an increasing rate.

ATEQ has a dedicated team that tracks all new TPMS Sensors introduced to the market. They constantly make sure the VT55 TPMS tool can be updated with those sensors months or years before they actually reach your garage.

You will NOT find a better service anywhere else, because ATEQ supplies car assembly plants that gives them access to new TPMS protocols long before anyone else.

The VT55 OBDII comes all equipped with an OBD universal connector, a charger for its battery, a rubber protection and carrying pouch, a magnet to trigger certain models of TPMS sensors, as well as a USB cable and software to update the tool with a PC.

Be sure to add this invaluable accessory to your order, you will need it!

A faulty TPMS sensor can be dangerous eventhough it has been created to reduce risks. But what can go wrong in a TPMS sensor ? 1- The pressure sensor port might be plugged by tire repair sealants. 2- The wrong pressure range might have been applied to the sensor, thus providing a difference between your gauge and TPMS reading. 3- The pressure sensor chamber might be leaking and has a manufacturers defect. Only ONE way to make sure !

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.
