Conti develops hand-held TPMS reader for service personnel

ERJ staff report (DS)

Frankfurt, Germany - Under its VDO branding, Conti has brought out a hand-held unit for service personnel which can access a range of vehicle condition sensors, including the tyre pressure monitoring system.

Conti said, “with the ContiSys Check TPMS,  Continental is putting a practical service tester on the market which, apart from the ContiSys Check basic functions such as FastCheck EOBD, Brake, Direct-Shift Gearbox (DSG), Common Rail (CR)  injector coding or service reset, also can read out the sensor data of the TPMS via radio.”

The VDO ContiSys Check TPMS is the same as the basic model except that it has additional software and a screw-on TPMS radio frequency module. The module contains a rechargeable battery block that permits up to two hours of continuous operation without connection to the vehicle's electrical system. The basic model can be retrofitted with a radio frequency module if desired.
