What does the failure of the Maxus V80 tire pressure monitoring system indicate?

The failure of the Maxus V80 tire pressure monitoring system indicates a problem with the tire pressure detection initialization system, which prevents it from performing its designated functions. In such cases, the vehicle must be taken to a repair shop for maintenance. Tire pressure monitoring involves real-time automatic monitoring of tire pressure during vehicle operation, with alerts for tire leaks and low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are three common types of tire pressure monitoring systems: Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: Direct tire pressure monitoring devices use pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure 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 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 tire to become smaller, resulting in a faster rotation speed compared to the other wheels. By comparing the differences in rotation speeds between tires, the system monitors tire pressure. Indirect tire pressure monitoring systems essentially rely on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor pressure. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): This system combines the advantages of both the above systems. It equips direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and includes a 4-wheel indirect system. Compared to a fully direct system, this hybrid system reduces costs and overcomes the limitation of indirect systems, which cannot detect low pressure in multiple tires simultaneously. However, it still cannot provide real-time data on the actual pressure in all four tires as a direct system does.
