HELLA TPMS sensors: powerful monitoring, with universal or vehicle-specific sensors
FORVIA HELLA offers a comprehensive range of vehicle-specific and universal tyre pressure monitoring sensors that ensure precise and automatic monitoring of tyre pressure. HELLA TPMS sensors are characterised by high quality, easy handling and reliable functioning.
- Extremely reliable and durable: HELLA TPMS sensors reliably measure and monitor tyre pressure and temperature.
- Increased compatibility: universal sensors for a variety of vehicle models simplify stock-keeping and cover a wide range of customer requirements.
- Fast learning process: vehicle-specific TPMS sensors from FORVIA HELLA only require a brief initialisation to the control unit, which speeds up work processes in the workshop and increases efficiency.
- Satisfied customers: the high product quality ensures satisfied and loyal customers in the long term.
How do HELLA TPMS sensors work?
FORVIA HELLA relies on high-precision, direct-measuring TPMS sensors that continuously monitor tyre pressure. The battery-powered sensors record the pressure in each individual tyre in real time and transmit the data wirelessly to the vehicle control unit. Instead of estimating the values, a direct measurement is carried out to ensure maximum accuracy. The control unit in the vehicle automatically compares the measured data with predefined reference values. This enables the system to recognise even creeping pressure losses at an early stage. If the tyre pressure of one or more tyres drops, the driver is immediately informed via a warning message in the vehicle display.
Why dealers should turn to the direct TPMS systems from FORVIA HELLA
The direct-measuring HELLA TPMS sensors offer decisive advantages over indirect systems:
- Precise real-time measurement: this precision offers end customers maximum safety, which leads to fewer queries and complaints.
- Immediate warning: direct TPMS sensors detect pressure losses immediately.
- Durability: the direct detection of gradual air loss helps to avoid expensive tyre damage and unsafe driving situations.
- Temperature measurement: HELLA sensors also measure the tyre temperature, which is a particularly attractive additional feature for drivers of high-performance vehicles.
- Avoidance of false alarms: direct systems provide fewer false alarms, resulting in fewer service requirements and more satisfied customers.
When do TPMS sensors need to be replaced?
Tyre pressure monitoring sensors usually have to be replaced after five to ten years or after around 100,000 miles when the battery in the sensors is used up. A necessary battery change is signalled in good time by a display in the vehicle so that there is no sudden failure. It is also necessary to change the sensors when the vehicle switches from summer to winter tyres, as either additional sensors have to be fitted or existing ones converted.
The range of HELLA TPMS sensors
At FORVIA HELLA you can obtain both vehicle-specific and also universal TPMS sensors.
- HELLA TPMS sensors: thanks to their high flexibility, they can be used in various vehicle models. After installation, they are programmed and taught to suit the specific vehicle. This saves storage space and ensures versatile use.
- Vehicle-specific TPMS sensors: one advantage of the vehicle-specific TPMS sensors from FORVIA HELLA is that they are easy to install: no recoding is necessary. Only initialisation to the vehicle's control unit is required.
