Karlsruhe and Plochingen, Germany – Bosch introduces the new and improved TPA 400, a programming tool for quickly and easily configuring TPMS sensors to vehicle specifications. The new version replaces the previous model, the TPA 300. Integrated into the device is the OBD module for communicating with the vehicle. The new TPA 400 also supports the configuration of tire-pressure monitoring sensors on Tesla vehicles via Bluetooth.

Thanks to the Wi-Fi function, workshops now have the option of carrying out software updates, such as those for device functions and the vehicles and sensors covered, quickly and directly over the air. The device also assists users in the vehicle-specific configuration of TPM sensors, guiding them step by step through the learning process. Sensor data transmitted wirelessly or via the OBD interface can be read and reviewed on a 2.8-inch color display.

New KTS Truck diagnostic testing module for commercial-vehicle workshops

Bosch has also updated and improved its KTS Truck diagnostic testing module. Commercial-vehicle workshops worldwide use the module in conjunction with the Bosch ESI[tronic] Evolution software for diagnosing issues in virtually all light and heavy trucks, trailers, buses, agricultural and construction machinery, and industrial trucks. With its modern design based on the KTS 560/590 modules, the new truck module is easy to recognize. Its improved electronics components deliver greater computing power, leading to more efficient work. Furthermore, KTS Truck is able to process additional protocols for communicating with the respective vehicle and is also equipped to handle future communication protocols. The module now supports the PassThru function for retrieving diagnostic and service data directly from the vehicle manufacturer. In addition, Bosch has expanded ESI[tronic] Evolution’s coverage of off highway (OHW) vehicles, and so diagnostics and service work can now be carried out with the new KTS Truck on more OHW models.
