Bartec: New EZ-sensor TPMS PAD accelerates tire service options
Along with the hand-held programming tool line from Bartec, the new TPMS Programming Accessory Device (TPMS PAD) is designed to make programming, replacing and relearning TPMS replacement sensors quick and efficient. It is now one of 12 different options that are capable of programming Schrader’s EZ- sensor.
“With more than 238 million TPMS sensors in the field currently, service and repair shops need solutions that will make TPMS programming and repair as easy as a standard oil-change,” says Scot Holloway, Bartec’s general manager.
“The new Bartec TPMS PAD offers an additional, quick way of programming Schrader’s EZ-sensors. Simply load the software on the shop’s PC/laptop and connect the TPMS PAD to your computer,” he notes. “With the easy-to-use on-screen interface, choose the make/model/year of the vehicle you’re working on and quickly program EZ-sensors. It’s a perfect option for busy repair shops when a hand-held tool may be unavailable or in use, or a set of EZ-sensors need to be programmed quickly.”
The TPMS PAD is the most recent addition to the portfolio of scan/programming tools compatible with the EZ-sensor, and is “another example of Schrader and Bartec’s ongoing commitment to providing the best replacement sensor technology and the most comprehensive coverage in the industry,” according to Holloway.
In addition to providing Make/Model/Year look up, including model year 2012 coverage, Holloway reports that key features of the TPMS PAD include:
- Direct reading of an existing/damaged sensor
for quick programming of EZ-sensor.
- On-Screen Relearn Procedures: By including
the relearn procedure in the TPMS PAD, technicians
will have all necessary instructions to properly
relearn the vehicle’s TPMS system without the need
for alternative references.
- SD Card slot for updating coverage with no
Internet connection needed.
- Easy-to-use software, no batteries or
Internet connection needed.
- Connects to PC or laptop using standard USB
cable.
- Ideal for busy shops; frees up your hand-held TPMS activation tool.
