How to Match a Faulty Tire Pressure Sensor by Yourself?
1 Answers
Tire pressure monitoring sensor matching requires the use of specialized computer software. When replacing a new tire pressure sensor, it will have a new identification number, which needs to be reprogrammed into the computer software for matching. There are three commonly used tire pressure monitoring methods: Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: Direct tire pressure monitoring devices use pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the 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 when the tire pressure is too low or 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 warning systems essentially rely on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor pressure. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Introduction: It combines the advantages of both systems mentioned above. Direct sensors are installed in two diagonally opposite tires, along with a 4-wheel indirect system. Compared to using only a direct system, this hybrid system can reduce costs and overcome the limitation of indirect systems, which cannot detect when multiple tires simultaneously have low pressure. However, it still cannot provide real-time pressure data for all four tires like a direct system.
