Ranger introduces TruSensor Universal TPMS kit

The Ranger Division of BendPak, a manufacturer of wheel service equipment, has unveiled TruSensor sensors and TPMS tool kit (No. TS58R) for diagnosing and programming tire pressure monitoring systems on import and domestic cars, SUVS, vans, and trucks.

The new TS58R kit includes a portable diagnostic and programming tool, metal stem sensors, snap-in rubber sensors, USB interface cable, OBDII cable, and power cord, all packaged in a durable, padded carrying case.

The Ranger TruSensor TS58R tool can test tire pressure, temperature, and battery life. It can read and clear TPMS diagnostic trouble codes, reset warning lights, and accurately diagnose car key remotes and fobs. Technicians can control all operations through the 4.3-inch color touchscreen or by using soft-touch buttons.

Four different modes are available to program new sensors: copy by activation, manual input, auto-create, and copy by OBD. The universal interface supports all 315 MHz and 433 MHz sensors, including OEM and aftermarket.

The Ranger TruSensor OE replacement TPMS sensors can provide connectivity and programming for most vehicles, BendPak stated. The sensors are also cloneable, with no relearn required, and update during installation using the Ranger TruSensor TS58R wireless programming tool.

The Ranger TruSensor interchangeable valve stems are available in either silver aluminum or black snap-in rubber. The aluminum model features a pivoting valve stem that adjusts from 0 to 40 degrees, while the black rubber snap-in stem is durable and corrosion-resistant. Both valves are tested to meet or exceed SAE industry standard J1205/J1206 ratings.
