Pre-order your revamped relearn chart from TIA

Oct. 15, 2012

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 TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) chart serves as a comprehensive and quick reference guide that technicians can easily navigate to service most vehicles equipped with tire pressure monitoring systems.

“It is absolutely essential that tire technicians have access to the very best educational resources to keep up with TPMS technology,” says 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.”

The TPMS Chart is divided into domestic and import vehicle sections and includes:

* the type of TPMS,

* relearn summaries,

* OEM sensor part numbers, 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 is a picture reference guide for the various programmable and multi-format replacement sensors on the market.

TIA will have copies of the new chart at its booth (No. 40057) at the 2012 Global Tire Expo at the SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) Show in the South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center. It will be accepting pre-orders at the exposition; the charts will be shipped after the event.

The Global Tire Expo and SEMA Show will run from Oct. 30 through Nov. 2, 2012.
