What is the Principle of Wireless Tire Pressure Monitoring?
2 Answers
Each tire is equipped with a highly sensitive sensor transmitter that monitors the tire pressure and temperature in real time, and wirelessly transmits the data signals to the terminal receiving system inside the vehicle. When abnormal conditions such as tire leakage, excessively high or low tire pressure, or excessively high temperature occur, the terminal will automatically issue an alarm and display the tire status to ensure driving safety. Tire pressure monitoring is not a real-time function. If an abnormality is detected in the tire, the dashboard will automatically display a message. The display does not show specific numerical values but only indicates which tire has an issue. The working principle of tire pressure monitoring is as follows: It uses a pressure sensor installed inside the tire to measure the tire pressure, and a wireless transmitter sends the pressure information from inside the tire to a central receiver module. Methods to clear a tire pressure alarm: There is a tire monitoring indicator button on the center console. After the system issues a low tire pressure warning, the vehicle must remain stationary for about one minute. Do not move the vehicle or turn off and restart the ignition until the button is pressed to recalibrate the tire monitoring indicator. Alternatively, find the tire pressure reset option in the settings on the center display. If none of the above methods work, you will need to visit a 4S store to clear the tire pressure alarm. What to do if the tire pressure is insufficient: If no damage is visible, simply inflate the tire to the normal pressure and reset the tire pressure system. If a puncture is found during inspection, drive to a tire repair shop promptly to have the tire patched and then reinflate it. If the tire pressure warning reappears some time after inflation but there is no puncture, it may be due to air leakage caused by a deformed wheel rim. It is recommended to check the wheel rim and replace it if necessary.
The principle of wireless tire pressure monitoring is actually quite simple, mainly relying on small sensors installed inside the tires. These little devices measure tire pressure and temperature in real-time, transmitting the data via wireless signals to a display inside the car, so I can see the pressure status of each tire at a glance while driving. The batteries in the sensors typically last several years, reducing the hassle of manual checks. There are many benefits, such as preventing the risk of blowouts and improving fuel efficiency, helping me save on gas money. However, it's important to note that sensor battery depletion or signal interference may cause false alarms, so I make sure to have the system checked by a technician during regular maintenance. Overall, this design feels thoughtful, making driving more reassuring.
