ATEQ TPMS & Tire Management Solutions

Nowadays, most new vehicles come equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system, or TPMS for short. There are two kinds of this system, the direct and indirect one, and each of them has its pros and cons. A direct TPMS has a pressure sensor in each wheel which is powered by a tiny inner battery and sends data to the ECU via a wireless connection. An indirect TPMS doesn't use pressure sensors and is considered more user-friendly; it detects low pressure in a more intelligent way relying on special software, ABS, wheel rotational speed, and some other factors.

In practice, an iTPMS needs to be reset once in a while by pushing a button after replacing or inflating the tires; then it relearns automatically while driving. The situation with a direct TPMS is more complex, as you will have to check and replace TP sensors from time to time. ATEQ is a global company that develops and manufactures a range of specialized tools meant to service any type of TPMS systems and keep them under control. There are numerous ATEQ TPMS service tools which vary in their functionality and, in general, are meant for different consumers.

A universal and multifunctional VT56 toolkit has been designed for service stations. The VT65 is an industrial engineering tool for manufacturing facilities and assembly lines. The VT36 model is more reasonably priced and oriented at technically savvy consumers with their own vehicles. These devices can read an ID and part number of any stock or aftermarket TPMS sensors, activate them in an ECU module, display various data supported by the sensor (tire temperature, pressure, battery status, etc.), program a sensor, and so on. The ATEQ quickset TPMS reset tool is another product popular among many DIYers, which allows them to reset the system without the need to visit a service station. Closely working with leading automakers, ATEQ has great experience and a team of qualified engineers to design the right solution for any TPMS system. Besides, there are ATEQ leak testers for industrial and medical applications, aviation equipment, and more.
