Schrader EZ-Sensor Gauges Your Car's Tire Pressure

Tire pressure gauging solution from Schrader

Knowing when it's about time to check your tires' pressure can prove to be extremely helpful, not only because it might prevent certain unwanted incidents, but also because deflated tires translate into a higher level of fuel consumption, not exactly the best possible idea during these rather bleak economic period.

And in order to make it easier for drivers to get a reading on their car's pressure, Schrader, a global manufacturer of tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS), today announced its official launch of EZ-Sensor, the automotive industry’s first patented OE-replacement TPMS sensor that can be programmed to function across diverse car makes and models.

The EZ-Sensor SKU targets the aftermarket and car service segments and covers more than 60 percent of TPMS-enabled vehicles in the U.S., supporting vehicle platforms such as Ford, Chrysler, GM, Toyota, Nissan, Honda and more.

In fact, Schrader will eventually introduce one additional SKU during its roll-out process, with a goal of having the two EZ-Sensor SKUs cover an estimated 90 percent of the market by the end of third-quarter, 2011, if not sooner.

Compatible with all required TPMS installation, re-learn and verification functions, installation requires only the EZ-Sensor and a single programming/scan tool.

EZ-Sensor can be programmed via several widely used tools the technician may already own, including: Schrader 21230, NAPA 92-1525, Bartec Tech400 and SPX OTC Genesys TPR.

The EZ-Sensor also features Schrader’s patented Snap-In TPMS valve and programming technology, which helps minimize installation time.

“EZ-Sensor serves as a much-needed solution to the ease-of-use and efficiency issues that have made TPMS servicing a challenge for the aftermarket sector,” said Carl Wacker, vice president of global sales and marketing at Schrader.

“Schrader is committed to helping the aftermarket take full advantage of this tremendous service opportunity by making the service/repair process easier – and ultimately, more profitable,” concluded Mr. Wacker.
