Does OBD Tire Pressure Monitoring Have Safety Hazards?

[DanielaRose]

In theory, there are no safety hazards. OBD tire pressure monitoring only reads the original vehicle data without tampering with it, so it has no impact on the vehicle. More details about OBD tire pressure monitoring are as follows: 1. OBD tire pressure monitoring is considered an indirect type of tire pressure monitoring. It reads the vehicle's ABS data through the OBD interface, monitors the rotation counts of the four wheels, performs high-speed calculations, and then determines whether the tire pressure of each wheel is normal. If it detects that the tire pressure of a specific wheel is below the normal value, it will trigger an alarm. OBD tire pressure monitoring is reliable because it only uses the actual data from the vehicle as the standard for monitoring, without any other unauthorized operations. 2. The advantage of OBD is that it does not require modifying the vehicle's wiring. Since it uses the vehicle's ABS data to determine the tire status, no additional sensors or displays need to be installed. Generally, it is maintenance-free after installation and does not require battery replacement. Additionally, OBD tire pressure monitoring also includes features such as fatigue driving alerts, automatic locking, and flashing lights.
