Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) are now a key component of modern commercial vehicles. Since July 2024, the UNECE R141 regulation has mandated the use of these systems for newly registered trucks, buses, and trailers.

For workshops and transport companies, this means that TPMS is now part of everyday business. A correctly functioning system improves road safety, reduces tyre failures and extends tyre life. At the same time, maintaining optimal tyre pressure can significantly reduce fuel consumption and operating costs.

TPMS Solutions For Commercial Vehicles FAQs & Training Procedures

A Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors tyre pressure and, depending on the system, tyre temperature on commercial vehicles. Sensors fitted to the wheels transmit information to the vehicle, helping the driver identify pressure loss or other tyre-related issues. A functioning TPMS can support tyre safety, maintenance and vehicle availability across commercial vehicle applications.

Bartec RSHD-1 and RSHD-2 universal TPMS sensors provide coverage across compatible commercial vehicle applications. The RSHD-1 is designed for applications including tractors, trailers and buses, while the RSHD-2 is particularly suited to tractors and buses. Vehicle and sensor compatibility should always be checked before installation.

OE TPMS sensors are typically intended for specific vehicle applications, while universal TPMS sensors can be programmed for multiple compatible applications. For workshops and fleet operators servicing different commercial vehicles, universal sensors can reduce the number of replacement sensor variants that need to be kept in stock and provide greater flexibility when replacement sensors are required.

Yes. Programmable replacement TPMS sensors require suitable TPMS equipment to configure them for the required vehicle application. Bartec commercial TPMS tools such as the TECH350HD and TECH600HD support sensor programming as well as other TPMS service functions. The correct vehicle application and programming procedure should always be selected before installation.

Yes. For supported applications, suitable Bartec TPMS equipment can read information from an existing sensor and transfer the sensor ID to a compatible universal replacement sensor. Copying the existing sensor ID can simplify the replacement process and may avoid a separate vehicle relearn in some applications. The correct procedure should always be followed for the specific vehicle and sensor application.

A functioning TPMS helps drivers and fleet operators identify tyre pressure issues so they can be addressed before they lead to further problems. Maintaining correct tyre pressures can support road safety, tyre life, fuel efficiency and vehicle availability while helping to reduce avoidable tyre-related downtime and operating costs.

No. Bartec's RSHD-1 and RSHD-2 universal commercial TPMS sensors are designed for efficient workshop installation. The RSHD-1 is mounted securely to the wheel rim, while the RSHD-2 is mounted directly to the valve. Technicians should always follow the correct installation procedure for the sensor and vehicle application.

  • When fitting a new tyre with a new sensor, the new sensor must be registered in the TPMS control unit. If the old sensor is used in the same position, no programming is necessary. This is done using the "TPMS Service App" from KRONE – available free of charge in the iOS App Store and Google Play Store.
  • Download the "TPMS Service App" from KRONE
  • Open the app and register as a workshop.
  • Enter code and log in
  • Establishing a connection via vehicle identification plate scan: Scan vehicle identification plate
  • App connects to control unit
  • Then start the TPMS setup.
  • Identify the position of the affected sensor and begin the replacement.
  • For new sensors: Enter new sensor ID; various options are available:
  • Manual entry (e.g., from a 433 MHz reader)
  • Scan the QR code on the sensor
  • Scan the barcode on the tyre
  • Confirm new configuration

THE SOLUTION: Simply clone existing sensors onto universal sensors

  • Read the log of the already installed sensor using the TPMS device.
  • Transfer the data to the universal sensor with just one click.
  • Done! Reattach the wheel with the universal sensor in the same wheel position.

No relearning process is required on the vehicle. By cloning the sensors, the vehicle recognizes them immediately – and your vehicle is ready for use again right away.

  • Stationary training procedure required (2 variants)
  • Select “Vehicle”, “Tyre Pressure Monitoring”, “Sensor Position” on the display.
  • The highlighted wheel indicates which wheel is being taught.
  • Activate sensor with device
  • When the wheel is confirmed, the vehicle flashes 8 times and the display switches to the next wheel.

Option 2:

  • Select “Vehicle”, “Tyre Pressure Monitoring”, “Sensor Position” on the display.
  • The highlighted wheel indicates which wheel is being taught.
  • Run the wheel that is to be trained.
  • When the wheel is confirmed, the vehicle flashes 8 times and the display switches to the next wheel.
  • Repeat the process for each wheel.
