What do you need to test a TPMS unit?
We offer tools that can be used to test sensors, as well as scan tools that can be plugged into the OBD-II port and display DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes). You may also need to test voltage and resistance at wiring, connectors and individual components with a (Digital Volt Ohm Meter), which you’ll also find on our digital shelves.
Where does the 12V go on a TPMS light?
When the toggle is in the ON position you end up with the default wiring. +12V goes to 7 to power the ECU. When the toggle is in the OFF position you cut power to the ECU and the +12V goes to the TPMS light. In this position the ECU is not detecting any signal.
How does a TPMS system work in a car?
These sensors wirelessly transmit air pressure (and on some vehicles tire temperature) data that is picked up by one or more antennas and sent to a TPMS receiver, which transfers the information to a computer where it is displayed on the instrument panel. We have what you need to keep your system functioning for safe driving.
Where can I get replacement parts for my TPMS?
Our replacement parts are made to original equipment specifications, and many of our suppliers also produce parts for the vehicle manufacturers.

Do you need a TPMS tool for a Hyundai?
Most Hyundai vehicles use systems from Lear, TRW or Continental. These systems have an auto relearn function. But if you are initializing a sensor or doing a manual relearn, you will need a TPMS tool that can capture the sensor IDs and program them into the TPMS module.
