What to Do with the Tire Pressure Monitoring After Changing Tires?
1 Answers
Changing tires does not affect the tire pressure monitoring. Simply transfer the tire pressure monitoring sensors to the new rims and then reset them. Tire pressure monitoring is designed to automatically and continuously monitor the air pressure in tires while driving, alerting the driver to leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are three commonly used methods of tire pressure monitoring: Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: This system uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire's air pressure. The pressure data is transmitted wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the pressure for each tire. The system automatically alerts the driver if the tire pressure is too low or if there is a leak. Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring: When the air pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes that tire's rolling radius to become smaller, making it rotate faster than the other tires. By comparing the rotational speed differences between tires, the system monitors the tire pressure. Indirect tire pressure alert systems essentially rely on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor pressure. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Introduction: This system combines the advantages of both the above systems. It equips direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and includes a four-wheel indirect system. Compared to using only direct systems, this hybrid system can reduce costs and overcome the indirect system's inability to detect simultaneous low pressure in multiple tires. However, it still cannot provide real-time pressure data for all four tires as effectively as a direct system.
