TIA Releases Updated TIA TPMS Relearn Chart
Bowie, MD - The Tire Industry Association (TIA), one of the world's leading authorities on tires and wheels, today announced that their one-of-a-kind TIA TPMS Relearn Chart has just been updated to include all 2009 and some 2010 model-year cars. The charts are available for order at TIA's booth (#40025) in the Tires, Wheels & Equipment Section (TWE) of the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show, by phone (800.876.8372), or via the TIA Web site, www.tireindustry.org.
The new charts have been updated to include NAPA sensor and service pack numbers. TIA has also tried to make some of the more confusing applications a little clearer for technicians to understand.
"We created the TIA TPMS Relearn Chart so that technicians could have a one-stop resource for all of the major replacement sensor manufacturers' specifications in a format and design that was easy to use, so that the correct replacement sensor can be installed correctly, and with a minimal risk of damage to the new sensor, and so that service pack replacements are easier," said TIA Senior Vice President of Training, Kevin Rohlwing.
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:
The type of TPMS, whether direct or indirect.
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).
A relearn summary (this 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.
The sensor manufacturer.
OEM sensor part number, Schrader replacement sensor part and service pack numbers, Dill replacement sensor part and kit and band numbers, Continental replacement sensor part and kit and band numbers, and NAPA replacement sensor part and service pack numbers.
The torque specifications for the sensor nut, torx bolt, worm gear, and lug nuts.
About TIA:
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.
