What causes the tire pressure warning light to malfunction in a Jaguar F-PACE?
1 Answers
Reasons for the tire pressure warning light malfunction in a Jaguar F-PACE: Excessive deviation or underinflation in the front four tires indicates an issue with the vehicle's tire pressure. If the tire pressure system alerts, first pull over to the roadside and check the tire pressure of all four tires. There are three common methods of tire pressure monitoring: Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: Direct tire pressure monitoring devices use pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure. Wireless transmitters send the pressure information from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the data for each tire's pressure. The system automatically alerts when 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 wheel to become smaller, leading to a faster rotation speed compared to the other wheels. By comparing the differences in rotation speeds between the tires, the system monitors tire pressure. Indirect tire pressure warning systems essentially rely on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor pressure. Introduction to Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS): TPMS combines the advantages of both systems mentioned above. It equips direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and includes a four-wheel indirect system. Compared to a fully direct system, this hybrid system reduces costs and overcomes the indirect system's inability to detect simultaneous underinflation in multiple tires. However, it still cannot provide real-time data on the actual pressure in all four tires as a direct system does.
