Schrader has expanded coverage of its EZ-Sensor technology, an OE-replacement TPMS sensor that can be programmed to function across diverse car makes and models.
EZ-Sensor now covers over 62% of TPMS-enabled vehicles in the U.S. – over 30 million vehicles – including new support for vehicle platforms such as Dodge and Jeep, and expanded coverage for existing platforms like Ford, Chrysler, Honda, GM, Chevrolet, Mazda, Toyota and Nissan.
Launched in November 2010 and created via a strategic alliance between Schrader and diagnostic tool maker Bartec, the programmable EZ-Sensor was designed with the goal of replacing 90% of TPMS sensors fitted to U.S. vehicles by the end of 2011.
The programmable EZ-sensor is designed to simplify the TPMS replacement process, reduce inventory and lower costs for aftermarket service and repair centers, according to the companies.
