What are the causes of indirect tire pressure monitoring failure in Skoda Octavia?
1 Answers
Skoda Octavia's indirect tire pressure monitoring failure is caused by damaged wheel speed sensors or poor circuit contact. Tire pressure monitoring is the real-time automatic monitoring of tire pressure during vehicle operation, with alerts for tire leaks and low pressure to ensure driving safety. Related information is as follows: Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: Direct tire pressure monitoring devices use pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure tire pressure, transmitting pressure information from inside the tire to a central receiver module via wireless transmitters, then displaying the tire pressure data for each tire. The system automatically alerts when 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, making it rotate faster than the other wheels. By comparing the rotational speed differences between tires, the system monitors tire pressure. Indirect tire pressure alert systems essentially rely on calculating the rolling radius of tires to monitor pressure. Introduction to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): It combines the advantages of both systems above, equipping direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and incorporating a 4-wheel indirect system. Compared to using a full direct system, this hybrid system can reduce costs and overcome the indirect system's inability to detect simultaneous low pressure in multiple tires. However, it still cannot provide real-time data of the actual pressure in all four tires like a direct system.
