What is the difference between TPMS reset tool, TPMS activating tool, TPMS triggering tool and TPMS decoding tool ?
– “TPMS Reset Tool” is a commonly used expression to decribe TPMS tools for end users. End users tend to use TPMS tools to reprogram their vehicle ECU whenever they change their summer tires for winter tires and vice-versa. – “TPMS Activating Tool” is an expression used by technicians in tire repair shops to describe the process of “activating” a brand new TPMS sensor in “sleep” mode. – “TPMS Triggering Tool” describes the same as TPMS Activating Tool. – “TPMS Decoding Tool” is an expression used whenever a TPMS Tool is used to “Decode” the TPMS sensor. Not only “TPMS Decoding Tools” can Trigger or Activate TPMS sensors, but they can also receive and Decode the information those sensors send to the vehicle ECU. This information can be the pressure within the tire, the temperature, the wheel rotating speed, the TPMS sensor unique ID, its battery status … etc.
