Schrader TPMS EZ-Sensor Gets Expanded Coverage

Schrader today announced expanded coverage for the company’s innovative EZ-Sensor technology, the automotive industry’s first patented OE-replacement TPMS sensor that can be programmed to function across diverse car makes and models.

EZ-Sensor now covers over 62 percent of TPMS-enabled vehicles in the US – over 30 million vehicles – including new support for vehicle platforms such as Dodge, Jeep and expanded coverage for existing platforms like Ford, Chrysler, Honda, GM, Chevrolet, Mazda, Toyota and Nissan.

“With over 1.4 million actual operating road miles completed, EZ-Sensor is clearly the industry-tested and proven technology of choice,” said Hugh Charvat, President of Schrader International. “Schrader continues to extend its commitment to the aftermarket community by further broadening support for vehicle platforms and by continually simplifying and streamlining the TPMS repair process.”

The EZ-Sensor was designed with the goal of replacing 90 percent of TPMS sensors fitted to US vehicles by the end of 2011. The programmable technology simplifies the TPMS replacement process, dramatically reduces the costs of inventory, and lowers costs for aftermarket service and repair centers.

“A key differentiator is that Schrader’s EZ-Sensor can replicate the OEM sensor technology that is initially installed into all new vehicles in the U.S., offering the same fit, form and function,” said Scot Holloway, General Manager, Bartec USA. “For the majority of customers, this means that no extra investment in tools is required and that they will maintain current processes for programming the EZ-Sensors.”

Additional benefits of the EZ-Sensor include ease-of-use and scalability, accuracy and precision, reduced inventory and decreased installation time.
