What Happens When a Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor Fails?

[VonTyler]

A faulty tire pressure monitoring sensor prevents real-time automatic monitoring of tire pressure and temperature. Consequently, it cannot issue timely alerts for high pressure, low pressure, or high temperature in tires, compromising driving safety. The tire pressure monitoring system, abbreviated as TPMS, utilizes technology that records tire rotation speed or employs electronic sensors installed in tires to automatically monitor various tire conditions in real time, providing effective safety protection during driving. TPMS can be categorized into two types: indirect TPMS, which detects tire abnormalities by analyzing differences in tire rotation speed, and direct TPMS, which involves installing four tire pressure monitoring sensors inside the tires. These sensors automatically monitor tire pressure and temperature in real time, whether the vehicle is stationary or in motion, and promptly alert the driver to high pressure, low pressure, or high temperature conditions, thereby preventing traffic accidents caused by tire malfunctions.
