How to Check Tire Pressure Monitoring in Civic?
1 Answers
When the tire pressure is unstable in a Civic, the tire pressure monitoring system indicator light will illuminate, and a message will appear on the driver information interface. Tire Pressure Monitoring: Tire pressure monitoring involves real-time automatic monitoring of tire pressure during driving, alerting the driver to leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. 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 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 tire 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 essentially rely on calculating the rolling radius of tires to monitor pressure. Introduction to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): This system combines the advantages of both direct and indirect systems. It is equipped with direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and includes a 4-wheel indirect system. Compared to a full direct system, this hybrid system reduces costs and overcomes the limitation of indirect systems, which cannot detect simultaneous low pressure in multiple tires. However, it still cannot provide real-time data on the actual pressure in all four tires like a direct system.
