How to detect tire pressure monitoring?
2 Answers
Tire pressure monitoring can be mainly detected through the following two methods: 1. Direct tire pressure monitoring: The direct tire pressure monitoring device uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire's air pressure, and uses a wireless transmitter to send the pressure information from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the tire pressure data for each tire. 2. Indirect tire pressure monitoring: When the air pressure of a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight will cause the rolling radius of that wheel to become smaller, resulting in its rotation speed being faster than other wheels. By comparing the difference in rotation speed between the tires, the purpose of monitoring tire pressure is achieved.
As a veteran driver with 15 years of experience, I know tire pressure monitoring like the back of my hand. Most modern cars display tire pressure values on the dashboard or infotainment screen - just glance at it. If you notice abnormal readings on any tire, I recommend manually checking with a tire pressure gauge, which is as simple as inflating a bicycle tire. I make it a habit to check tire pressure during every fuel stop, since it directly impacts driving safety and fuel efficiency. If the warning light comes on, don't panic - it's usually just a nail puncture causing air leakage. Just find a repair shop promptly; replacing a valve core or patching the tire typically costs around 100 yuan. Remember to study your owner's manual when getting a new car - understanding what the warning icons look like is crucial.
