What is a Tire Pressure Monitoring System?

[DelJeffrey]

A tire pressure monitoring system is an active vehicle safety system that utilizes wireless transmission technology and highly sensitive miniature wireless sensors installed inside the car tires. It collects data such as tire pressure and temperature while the vehicle is in motion or stationary, then transmits this data to the main unit in the cabin where it's digitally displayed in real-time. The system alerts the driver through audible beeps or voice warnings when abnormal tire conditions are detected. There are two types of tire pressure monitoring systems: indirect TPMS, which detects tire abnormalities by monitoring rotational speed differences between tires, and direct TPMS, which uses four pressure sensors installed inside the tires to automatically monitor tire pressure and temperature continuously, whether the vehicle is stationary or in motion.
