Original Press Release:
TIA Announces Release of One-Of-A-Kind Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Relearn Chart
Chart is durable for shop use; lists information for all domestic and foreign models (to model year 2008), including hard-to-find TPMS relearn codes for all
makes and models.
Bowie, MD - Ever since Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) were created, trying to get all of the relearn information for every make and model has been a nearly impossible task. Now, the Tire Industry Association (TIA) has created the revolutionary, one-of-a-kind TIA TPMS Relearn Chart to help technicians and tire service professionals make resetting these systems easy and fast.
The TIA TPMS Relearn Chart is divided into two sections (domestic and imported vehicles); in each section, vehicles are listed by make, model and year. Each listing includes:
o The type of TPMS, whether direct or indirect;
o Three columns of data that indicate when a system relearn is necessary (i.e., after a change in air pressure, tire rotation, or tire/sensor replacement);
o A relearn summary, which includes a reference number that corresponds to the vehicle's procedure for initiating sensor relearn mode. The vehicle relearns are located in the back of the corresponding section (either domestic or import);
o The sensor manufacturer;
o OEM sensor part number, Schrader replacement sensor part number, Schrader service pack number, Dill replacement sensor part number, Dill kit and band number, Continental replacement sensor part number, and Continental kit and band number; and
o The torque specifications for the sensor nut, torx bolt, worm gear, and lug nuts.
"Simply put, there is nothing currently on the market that has this level of TPMS information," said TIA Senior Vice President of Training Kevin Rohlwing. He added, "We created the TIA TPMS Relearn Chart to be as user-friendly as possible - all of the information is laid out in a clear, easy-to-read format, and it has a durable coating and special binding with pre-drilled holes in the corners for easy and long-lasting use in the shop."
TIA members will be able to purchase the TIA TPMS Relearn Chart at the member discount rate of $85. "In addition to this amazing chart, TIA members have the opportunity to potentially save thousands of dollars on TIA training and programs, such as workers' comp insurance and liability insurance," said TIA Executive Vice President Roy Littlefield. The non-TIA member price for the TIA TPMS Relearn Chart is $185. Volume discounts for both TIA members and non-members are also available.

TIA is an international association representing all segments of the tire industry, including those that manufacture, repair, recycle, sell, service or use new or retreaded tires, and also those suppliers or individuals who furnish equipment, material or services to the industry. The Tire Industry Association (TIA) has a history that spans more than 80 years and includes several name changes. Originally known as the National Tire Dealers & Retreaders Association (NTDRA), the organization gave birth over the years to the American Retreaders Association (ARA) and the Tire Association of North America (TANA). ARA changed its name to the International Tire & Rubber Association (ITRA) and merged with TANA in 2002 to form the current Tire Industry Association (TIA), which now represents every interest in the tire industry.
