To better serve commercial truck fleets running ContiPressureCheck, Continental’s Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) solution, engineers at Continental just released Automatic Trailer Learning (ATL) in their latest software upgrade.  

With ATL, the ContiPressureCheck system only requires the trailer to have tire sensors installed in each tire to be automatically identified and connected to the truck. No additional hardware needs to be installed on the trailer for it to connect to the TPMS. 

According to the manufacturer, ATL saves fleets precious time by providing the capability for a system-equipped truck to hookup to any trailer outfitted with only tire sensors. This new software upgrade also eliminates the need to program the truck to a new trailer, allowing the truck to immediately embark on its next delivery.  

Another enhancement to ContiPressureCheck included in the latest upgrade is the Test Drive function, which grades the reception quality to the tires on both the truck and the trailer at the end of the install process. Once the system is connected to the truck and all the TPMS sensors are in the tires, the truck and trailer are driven for a seven minute test session. At the end of the session, the system grades the reception quality, allowing the customer to make adjustments in order to optimize the overall air pressure and temperature monitoring capability of the system.
