Abstract
A tire pressure monitor system module provides modular products with tire pressure monitor system functionality. The tire pressure monitor system module may be added to a modular product to provide tire pressure monitor system functionality. The tire pressure monitor system module may be a stand-alone module that may be attached, connected or in communication with a modular product. The tire pressure monitor system tool may include all of the functionality available to tire pressure monitor systems. The tire pressure monitor system module may include modules for transmitting and receiving signals from a tire pressure monitor system, resetting and diagnosing a tire pressure monitor system, initiating, determining, and selecting procedures associated with the tire pressure monitor system, simulating a tire pressure sensor of a tire pressure monitor system, storing, displaying, and updating information related to tire pressure monitor systems, and notifying a user of a status of a procedure and that a procedure has been completed.
