OTC, an SPX brand, recently unveiled its new TPMS Scan Tool (P/N 3870), which supports both direct and indirect TPM systems and comes fully equipped with the latest Scan coverage for testing and resetting TPMS-equipped cars, light-duty trucks and mini-vans. The new 3870 tool includes an OBD II Smart Cable to support the latest diagnostic software updates and comes conveniently packaged in a soft nylon carrying case. Additionally, for technicians that want to maximize the workflow through the shop, OTC is offering for a limited time only, the TPMS Scan and Test Pack Promo (P/N 3870P), which essentially bundles the new 3870 kit with a T.I.P.S. TPM Reset tool (P/N TIPS003A) for application specific Radio Frequency (RF) functions.
“The OTC TPMS Scan Tool and the T.I.P.S tool capabilities are very complementary, and collectively as a package, it offers unprecedented time savings for technicians,” said Ed Lipscomb, OTC senior product manager of Diagnostic Systems. “One provides scan support for DTCs, DataStream and special Bidirectional test capabilities for vehicles that must use a scan tool, and the other is a direct test device only used on TPMS vehicles that need an RF activation tool for sensor diagnostics.”
Built upon the platform of the popular OTC Genisys Scan Tool technology, the TPMS Scan Tool features a graphically enhanced color display with easy-to-follow tool menus that clearly show test options, procedures and on-screen directions; simple control buttons with hotkeys for fast operation; color LEDs indicating power and vehicle communication; English, Spanish and French menu language support; removable flash media for memory expansion and fast updates; and convenient adjustable strap for secure handling.
The “On-Tool” TPMS Quick Reference manual embedded in the software provides fast access to TPMS information at the vehicle that contains the critical reset procedures, along with all of the system information including torque specifications. The software comes preloaded with Bidirectional Test capabilities for easy and accurate TPMS sensor I.D. programming. With the tool, technicians can quickly scan for good or bad TPMS sensors; read and clear diagnostic trouble codes; display TPMS DataStream values of vehicle computer sensor tire pressure information and view pertinent repair information and TPMS test and reset procedures.
