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.

Designed to last in forceful environments like tire repair shops, The VT55 OBDII can handle high volume testing throughout the day due to its rechargeable battery. 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.

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.

The process not only allows the operator to display the data on screen, but also to transfer it to a PC and print out results and show the customer which TPMS is faulty and why.

The VT55 OBDII tool displays: sensor ID, pressure, battery status, temperature, accelerometer, etc.

VT55 OBDII’s OBD software is compatible for 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. Our very simple PC interface guides the user through a minimum of steps. An upgradeable TPMS tool has never been so important as 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 TPM Sensors introduced on the market and that makes sure that ATEQ’s TPMS tools can be updated with those sensors months or years before they actually reach your garage.

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 TPM sensors, as well as a USB cable and software to update the tool with a PC.
