Does the Civic still have tire pressure monitoring after changing the rims?

The Civic still has tire pressure monitoring after changing the rims; replacing the rims does not affect the factory-installed tire pressure monitoring system. Civic specifications: Fuel consumption: 5.0-6.4L, Body structure: 4-door 5-seat sedan, Engine: 1.0T/1.5T, Transmission: 6-speed manual/CVT, Drive type: Front-wheel drive, Fuel type: Gasoline. Tire pressure monitoring: Tire pressure monitoring is a system that automatically monitors tire pressure in real-time during driving and alerts the driver in case of tire leakage or low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are three common types of tire pressure monitoring: Direct tire pressure monitoring: Direct tire pressure monitoring devices use pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure tire pressure. The pressure information is transmitted wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the pressure data for each tire. The system automatically alerts the driver if the tire pressure is too low or if there is a leak. Indirect tire pressure monitoring: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that wheel to become smaller, resulting in a faster rotation speed compared to other wheels. By comparing the differences in rotation speeds between tires, the system monitors tire pressure. Indirect tire pressure monitoring systems actually rely on calculating the rolling radius of tires to monitor pressure. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) introduction: It combines the advantages of the two systems mentioned above. Direct sensors are installed in two diagonally opposite tires, and an indirect system is used for all four wheels. Compared to a fully direct system, this hybrid system can reduce costs and overcome the limitation of indirect systems, which cannot detect simultaneous low pressure in multiple tires. However, it still cannot provide real-time pressure data for all four tires like a direct system.
