Bartec USA LLC has released its Tech400SD combination-type tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) tool that improves on its Tech400+diagnostic and programming tool with added features and functionality.
The Tech400SD offers coverage for the diagnosis and repair of the TPMS of domestic and Import vehicles. Through its robust OBD cable, the Tech400SD can diagnose problems and reset the TPMS control module of imported vehicles, particularly Asian makes such as Acura, Hyundai, Kia, Infiniti, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Honda, Subaru and Toyota. Plus, because the Tech400SD is also an activation tool, it can quickly activate the TPMS sensors during a domestic car relearn on such makes as GM and Ford.
Three features have been added:
* Update with removable media -- Fitted to the top of the Tech400SD is an SD Card slot. Using a commonly available SD card loaded with tool software, the end user no longer needs a PC, laptop or Internet connection to update their tool. Simply insert the SD card and follow the on-screen instructions and within seconds, the Tech400SD is up-to-date and ready to use.
* On-board relearn procedures -- Possibly the most important feature improvement was including the TPMS relearn procedures on the tool, says Bartec. Now in the palm of their hand, the technician will have all the necessary instructions to properly use the tool to relearn, reset or program the vehicle's TPMS. No longer is it necessary to go to alternative references or look up tables. Valuable data like sensor part number and technical specification is right on the display.
* Raised button keypad -- This new feature provides long-lasting use and a better feel for improved response and durability.
