STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. — Bartec USA has announced the release of the company’s latest tool software update. Available to current subscribers to tools.bartecusa.com, Release 53 (and current sub-release 53.1) can now be downloaded to the Bartec TPMS Tool.

Among the most noteworthy of the new features found on this release are TPMS placard adjustment and programming of the new EZ-sensor, the company said. Until now, when plus sizing tires, or changing tire types on a pickup truck, technicians were often frustrated by not being able to adjust the TPMS placard value. Now, the Bartec Tech400pro and Tech500 can adjust the point at which the TPMS low-pressure warning occurs, without compromising OE load capacity, according to the company. This new feature means that technicians can properly set the TPMS based on the wheel and tire package for the vehicle while keeping the TPMS operative.

Another feature is the ability to program the new EZ-sensor from Schrader. This new, single, aftermarket sensor solution combines 314.9 MHz, 315 MHz and 433 MHz frequencies into one easy-to-program TPMS sensor, the company says.

For a complete breakdown and explanation of all new features included in software releases 53 and 53.1, and which tools they apply to, simply click on the Tech Support icon in your TPMS Desktop and click on TSBs. There, the software release bulletins as well as other TPMS support information can be found.
