ATEQ To Introduce New VT56 OBDII Diagnostic Tool

ATEQ Corp. has announced its plans to present the new VT56 OBDII TPMS Diagnostic Tool at the 28th International Trade Fair at Reifen.

The ATEQ VT56 features an ergonomic keypad and provides a modern and easy sensor triggering and programming experience. It also features a high-resolution 4.3-inch color display. Additionally, it gives technicians a faster and smarter experience that continuously adapts to their needs with advancements such as:

Icon-based navigation makes it easy to scroll through the multiple menus and features provided in our tool. You can easily navigate to a vehicle’s dedicated menu then instantly go back to the general menu.
New eight soft button keypad allows you to navigate the menus faster and more accurately.
Help and training menus so you can always have the latest information when you need it the most, minimizing downtime.
The VIN barcode reader makes entering VIN numbers easier. The integrated reader is a work-saving feature that automatically captures the VIN number of the vehicle and decodes it for fast vehicle identification.
ATEQ improved OBDII transfer technology that increases the vehicle coverage for both domestic and import.

The VT56 will be the first ATEQ TPMS tool to print wirelessly with an optional docking station integrated printer. According to the company, you will no longer require a computer to print detailed TPMS information for your customer.

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company has named Ryan Waldron as president of the company's Americas business unit, reporting to Chief Executive Officer and President Mark Stewart. He succeeds Steven R. McClellan, who retired on April 1.
