TIA Releasing 2012 TPMS Chart

The Tire Industry Association (TIA), is accepting pre-orders for the newest version of the TPMS Relearn Chart, which includes domestic and import vehicles through model year 2012. The Chart serves as a valuable, comprehensive, and quick reference guide that technicians can easily navigate to service most vehicles equipped with TPMS. To place a pre-order contact TIA’s Director of Training, Chris Marnett at cmarnett@tireindustry.org or 800-876-8372 x106.

The TPMS Chart is divided into domestic and import vehicle sections and includes the type of TPMS, relearn summaries, OEM sensor part number, and replacement sensor and service pack part numbers for Schrader, Dill, Myers Tire Supply, 31 Inc. Xtra-Seal and NAPA. It also includes the sensor numbers for Orange Electronics and Oro-Tek. The chart lists the torque specs for the sensor nut, torx bolt, worm gear and vehicle lug nuts. New to the chart this year are fitment, part numbers, and a picture reference guide for the various programmable and multi-format replacement sensors on the market.

 “It is absolutely essential that tire technicians have access to the very best educational resources to keep up with TPMS technology,” commented Randy Groh, incoming TIA president. “Updated with the newest makes and models, the TPMS Relearn Chart is a durable, easy-to-use source of information that is specifically designed to be handled and used by technicians on the shop floor. TIA continues to update the TPMS Relearn Chart annually as new information becomes available, so that tire dealerships are always prepared to service whatever vehicle drives into their shop.”

 TIA will have copies of the new chart at their booth (#40057) at the Global Tire Expo at the SEMA Show in the South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center, October 30 to November 2 and they will be accepting pre-orders that will be shipped after the event.
