New Snap-on TPMS4 Tool Tests Sensors, Captures Data, Relearns TPMS
An all-in-one tool for multiple vehicle applications, the TPMS4 features vehicle-specific prompts and reset procedures following tire rotation and sensor replacement.
Selling Four TPMS Sensors
If a single sensor has reached the end of its lifespan, it is highly recommended to replace all sensors at the same time. Similar to headlights, once one sensor dies, the rest are likely to be close behind. This is an important point for your customers to understand. Taking care of the issue before there is a problem also provides a convenience to them.
Omnicraft Introduces New Oxygen Sensors For Non-Ford/Lincoln Repairs

Testing Active Wheel Speed Sensors
The best tool for testing the active speed sensor is a good scanner, preferably one that can show the separate speed sensors in graph form. A lab scope is probably the best for a more precise answer and can be attached directly at the sensor to read the individual sensors or wires, rather than the entire system as with the scanner.
Wheel Speed Sensor: Understanding ABS Brake Passive Sensors
The passive wheel speed sensor has been around a long time. It works quite differently than the active speed sensors that are found on most cars today. The passive speed sensor creates its own AC signal that changes frequency with wheel speed. This signal is only present while the wheel is turning at a rate fast enough to create the AC signal.
Standard Motor Products Receives NSF Registration For Its TPMS Sensors
