Programmable TPMS

Schrader International, marketer of AirAware™ brand TPMS systems, components and tools, introduced the EZ-Sensor™ Programmable Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor, a first-of-its-kind aftermarket sensor that allows tire dealers and service centers to dramatically reduce the number of TPMS sensor SKUs they need to stock.

Features:

Designed to replace malfunctioning or defective TPMS sensors, EZ Sensors can be programmed with the correct sensor protocol and functionality needed to interface with the TPMS already installed in the vehicle.

 

Benefits:

Before today, more than 120 different replacement sensor SKUs were required to service the increasing number of vehicles equipped with TPMS. That meant either long waits in the service bay waiting for parts to arrive or money tied up in inventory for many sensors that are rarely used.

 

Now, tire dealers and service centers only need to stock two EZ-Sensor SKUs, to cover over 90% of the market, greatly reducing their inventory requirements. And by using EZ-Sensors, the risk of installing the wrong sensor is eliminated.

 

EZ-Sensor can be programmed with a variety of tools already used by many technicians, including the Schrader 21230 Diagnostic Tool, the Wheelrite TECH400 Plus from Bartec USA, and SPX’s new TPR tool.

 

EZ-Sensor uses Schrader’s patented, proven Snap-In TPMS enclosure, helping to minimize installation time while eliminating the sealing and torque issues associated with other manufacturers’ metal stem parts.
