ATEQ releases software update for TPMS tools

ATEQ announced the new March updates for the VT36 and VT56.

The ATEQ VT36 TPMS sensor activation and programming tool allows users to diagnose TPMS sensors without bringing the vehicle into the service bay. All sensor data is displayed in seconds, including ID, battery status, tire temperature and pressure. If a sensor requires replacement, the VT36 contains a part number lookup library covering both OE and aftermarket sensors and provides steps to choose and program the right replacement among the leading aftermarket sensors. 

The ATEQ VT56 OBDII TPMS Diagnostic Tool, No. T556-1000, is a multi-function TPMS tool with an optional wireless printer and docking station. The VT56 features a soft, eight-button ergonomic keypad and provides a modern and easy sensor-triggering and programming experience. 

The VT55 update is still in beta testing and will be released the first week of April.
