Birmingham, United Kingdom, Monday 30th January 2012. February 2012 sees the launch of the New Contisys Check – TPMS which supersedes the VDO OBD Professional Diagnostic tool.  With ContiSys Check - TPMS you have greater functionality, improved memory capacity plus the addition of a TPMS module putting a practical service tester in the market place.  The VDO ContiSys Check Diagnostic Tool offers  functionality such as;  FastCheck Electronic OBD, Brake, Direct-Shift Gearbox (DSG), Common Rail (CR) Injector coding or service reset plus much more.  By adding the VDO TPMS Module you can also read out sensor data from the TPMS via a wireless link.  In addition, the device provides service relevant information for the replacement of wheel sensors, E.G. tightening torques and parts numbers.

Tyre pressure has a critical influence on fuel consumption and driving safety. In Europe, new vehicle models must soon be equipped with an accurate tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) to reduce CO2 emissions and minimize the safety hazard caused by low tyre pressure. TPMS-Monitoring systems are now prescribed in the entire EU for new vehicle models from November 1, 2012 and for newly registered vehicles from November 1, 2014.

Radio Frequency Module Communicates with Wheel Sensors

To assist automotive specialists with these systems, VDO has now designed a new version of its practical ContiSys Check service tester.  ContiSys Check TPMS has a radio frequency module for retrieving TPMS sensor data.  Technicians can read out sensor data like pressure, temperature and battery status via a wireless link and save the information if necessary.  In addition, the VDO ContiSys Check TPMS makes it possible to use the TPMS service functions via the existing OBD interface.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 VDO ContiSys Check model can be retrofitted with a wireless link radio frequency module if desired.
