What to Do If a Tire Pressure Sensor Fails?
1 Answers
Tire pressure monitoring sensor fails, you should go to a professional repair shop to replace the tire pressure sensor as soon as possible. There are three commonly used tire pressure monitoring methods: Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: The direct tire pressure monitoring device uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure, and uses a wireless transmitter to send the pressure information from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the pressure data of each tire. When the tire pressure is too low or there is a leak, the system will automatically alarm. Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring: When the pressure of a tire decreases, the weight of the vehicle will cause the rolling radius of that wheel to become smaller, resulting in its rotation speed being faster than other wheels. By comparing the difference in rotation speed between the tires, the purpose of monitoring tire pressure is achieved. The indirect tire alarm system actually relies on calculating the rolling radius of the tire to monitor the pressure. Introduction to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): It combines the advantages of the above two systems, equipping direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and a 4-wheel indirect system. Compared to using all direct systems, this composite system can reduce costs and overcome the defect that the indirect system cannot detect when multiple tires simultaneously have low pressure. However, it still cannot provide real-time data of the actual pressure in all four tires like the direct system.
