Do I need a TPMS tool?

Winter Tires and TPMS Tools &#; what tool should you choose? (VIDEO & ARTICLE)

foxwell are exported all over the world and different industries with quality first. Our belief is to provide our customers with more and better high value-added products. Let's create a better future together.

When new winter tires are installed to a vehicle, a TPMS tool is needed to write the new sensor ID locations to your TPMS system. If your customer purchased new wheels and aftermarket programmable TPMS sensors to go along with the new set of winter tires, you will need to also program the sensors. Some do-it-yourselfers swap their own tires to save on alignment, balancing and valve replacement costs between summer and winter tire seasons. Whether you are a technician swapping tires, or performing the tire swap yourself, you&#;ll need a TPMS tool to program your aftermarket programmable sensors and/or write the sensor information to the vehicle&#;s ECU.

For shops who work with tires on a daily to weekly basis, the VT56 TPMS Diagnostic tool is a perfect all-in-one standalone TPMS tool. Easily swap summer and winter tires and relearn 98.6% of Domestic, European and Asian vehicles. With new patented Sync-ID technology, technicians can reset Domestic and European vehicles through the OBDII port, skipping the long and complicated manual relearn procedures. The VT56 can read and diagnose 100% of OE and aftermarket TPMS sensors, and can program almost every brand of Aftermarket TPMS sensors. With frequent updates, get the latest TPMS sensor and vehicle coverage, so you can work on any vehicle that comes in the shop.

For shops who work with tires on a weekly to monthly basis and mostly with Domestic vehicles, or for those working on their own vehicles out of their garage, the VT36 TPMS Activation and Programmer tool is suitable for winter/summer tire swapping. The VT36 has the ability to read and diagnose 100% of OE and Aftermarket sensors and can also program almost every brand of Aftermarket TPMS sensors. In addition, it can reset up to 60% of TPMS systems as a stand alone TPMS tool, and can be used with a scan tool to reset Asian vehicles that require an OBD relearn.

For individuals swapping out their own winter/summer tires, the VT31 is suitable to read and activate TPMS sensors. However, in order to work with Aftermarket programmable TPMS sensors, you must use a VT36 or VT56 to write existing or new TPMS sensor information to the new sensor.

Tires are one of the important components of a car, and the main consideration for their performance is tire pressure. Too low or too high tire pressure will affect the performance of the tire, and even affect driving safety.

TPMS stands for Tire Pressure Monitoring System. TPMS will monitor tire pressure in real time when you driving, and real-time alarm of air leakage and low tire pressure to ensure driving safety.

The Foxwell TPMS Service Tools allow you to reset, reprogram or activate the TPMS sensors after replacing and adjusting the sensors so that the ECU can accurately read the current tire pressure.

Why Do You Need A Foxwell TPMS Service Tool?

1. Ensure Driving Safety
When your tires are underinflated, the maneuverability of your tires is reduced, especially during tight turns and quick stops. These bad effects start even before the TPMS light comes on. TPMS reset tools allow you to find and fix problems before they become serious.
2. Improve Fuel Efficiency
When tire pressure is too low, the vehicle needs to consume more gas to keep the car moving forward. With the help of the TPMS reset tools, tire pressure can be kept at the correct level to maximize fuel efficiency.
3. Save Money and Time
Without TPMS reset tools, you'll need the help of a mechanic to maintain tires and sensors. When you have a tire pressure reset tool, you can reset your sensors without professional assistance, saving you a lot of time and money.

What Can Foxwell TPMS Service Tools Do?

1. Read TPMS Data
The TPMS tool can obtain TPMS sensor data including pressure level, tire temperature, battery level, sensor ID, etc.
2. Diagnosis TPMS System
If the TPMS error light comes on due to low tire pressure, changing tires, tire rotation, or switching from summer tires to winter tires, you can use the TPMS reset tool to turn it off.
3. TPMS Sensor Relearning
After replacing or adjusting the sensor, the Foxwell TPMS service tool will "tell" the engine control module the new location of the tire pressure sensor. Foxwell TPMS service tool allows you to relearn 98% of sensors.
4. TPMS Sensor Programming
While relearning will tell the ECM how to find the sensor, the sensor still needs to be programmed with the necessary protocols/applications to make the new sensor fully compatible with the vehicle's ECM.
5. TPMS Sensor Activation
You can use the TPMS service tool to activate a TPMS sensor to start collecting and transmitting information. The Foxwell TPMS service tool activates 99% of the sensors on the market.

Foxwell TPMS tools are known for their speed, reliability and customer service. Foxwell TPMS service tools are a smart investment for car enthusiasts and mechanics. Foxwell TPMS tools accurately read tire pressure data, monitor and reset tire pressure systems, helping you stay safe on the road.
