Commercial TPMS differs from passenger-car TPMS: more wheels, dual-tire configurations, trailer systems, and sensors that take a beating. Fleets want it managed; few shops offer it. That's the opening.
Coverage and tool options
| Segment | Systems covered | Recommended tools |
|---|---|---|
| Tractor TPMS | Sensor programming, relearn, diagnostics | Autel MS909CV (TPMS included) |
| Trailer TPMS | System-specific (PressurePro, Doran etc.) | Manufacturer tools + multi-brand support |
| Dual-wheel configurations | Position programming is the tricky part | CV-rated TPMS tools handle dually logic |
Getting set up
The Autel MS909CV includes full commercial TPMS capability — if you own one, you already have the tool; the service is marketing it. Standalone CV TPMS tools start around $395 for shops wanting the category without the full scanner.

Are truck TPMS sensors different from car sensors?
Yes — higher pressure ratings, different valve hardware for dual wheels, and band-style sensors on some applications. Programming logic also differs: 10–22 wheel positions versus a car's four.
Is TPMS service worth offering for truck shops?
Yes — low competition, recurring need (sensors die with tires), and it attaches naturally to tire work. Fleets pay for documented TPMS health in maintenance programs.
