How to Pair a Tire Pressure Sensor?
1 Answers
Tire pressure monitoring sensors require specialized computer software for pairing. When replacing a new tire pressure sensor, a new ID number will be assigned. Simply input this new ID into the computer software to complete the pairing process. There are three common methods of tire pressure monitoring: Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: This system uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire's air pressure. The pressure data is transmitted wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the pressure readings for each tire. The system automatically alerts the driver when tire pressure is too low or when there's a leak. Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring: When a tire's pressure decreases, the vehicle's weight causes that wheel's rolling radius to become smaller, making it rotate faster than other wheels. By comparing the rotational speed differences between tires, the system monitors tire pressure. Essentially, the indirect tire alert system relies on calculating the rolling radius to monitor pressure. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Introduction: This system combines the advantages of both above-mentioned methods. It installs direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires while incorporating a 4-wheel indirect system. Compared to using only direct systems, this hybrid approach reduces costs and overcomes the indirect system's inability to detect simultaneous low pressure in multiple tires. However, it still cannot provide real-time pressure data for all four tires as effectively as a full direct system.
