| July 25 2020 | How Pre-programmed TPMS Sensors WorkThere are multiple different types of replacement TPMS sensors and educating yourself about these technologies will help you to find the best fit for your business! TPMS replacement sensors are generally categorized as direct-fit, programmable, and pre-programmed sensors. A direct-fit sensor, OE or OE replacement, is loaded with one specific vehicle protocol and works only on a specific MMY selection. A programmable sensor, like EZ-sensor®, comes blank and can be programmed to work on any MMY covered by the sensor manufacturer using a TPMS programming tool with up-to-date software. A Pre-programmed sensor, like EZ-sensor® GO, is pre-loaded with a selection of protocols and can work as a direct replacement sensor for a wide range of vehicles. |

| July 11 2020 | Direct TPMS Versus Indirect TPMSDirect TPMS (dTPMS) gathers accurate pressure data directly from the tire valve via four dedicated pressure sensors that are attached to the valve, reporting pressure readings in real-time. Indirect TPMS, on the other hand, uses the ABS system to approximate tire pressure, and motorists must drive a substantial distance before an alert will be generated. |
