TPMS Service for Trucks & Trailers: A Guide for Workshops & Fleets
TPMS Service on Trailersvia Mobile App All commercial vehicles manufactured from July 2024 onwards are equipped with tire pressure sensors and a receiver- often our TireCheck CAN-Bridge. This transmits tire pressure and temperature data to the vehicle’s EBS system. How do you correctly document the new wheel position after a tire service? And how do […]
Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors in Commercial Vehicles: Are All Sensors Compatible?
In the commercial vehicle sector, there is often uncertainty about one key question:Can any TPMS sensor be combined with any truck, trailer, receiver, or diagnostic system? The short answer is: No — not all TPMS sensors are automatically compatible.However, they can be compatible if three essential requirements are met: mechanical fit, electronics, and radio protocol. […]

Differences between passenger vehicle & commercial vehicle TPMS Sensors
At first glance, tire pressure sensors (TPMS) for passenger cars and trucks appear almost identical. However, this impression is misleading: the technology cannot simply be interchanged. The differences lie in the details – and those details are critical for both safety and service life. In this article, we take a closer look at the technology […]
Quality Requirements for EBS Cables: IP69K, ADR & Protection Against Abrasion
In modern commercial vehicle electronics, EBS systems (Electronic Braking Systems) are at the core of safety. The connection between EBS units (e.g. from Wabco, Knorr-Bremse, or Haldex) and peripheral devices such as a CAN-Bridge for tire pressure sensors (TPMS) places the highest demands on wiring. Why a “standard cable” can not be used here — […]
How to install external tire pressure sensors: Instructions for trucks and commercial vehicles
External tire pressure sensors are an efficient and cost-effective solution to increase safety, tire service life, and operational reliability for trucks, trailers, buses, and other commercial vehicles. Especially with large wheels, such as 22.5-inch rims, correct installation plays a crucial role. Because even a small mistake can have serious consequences: an incorrectly mounted sensor can […]
