Where is the tire pressure monitoring sensor located?

Tire pressure sensors are generally installed on the tires, usually at the valve stem position. Below is an introduction to tire pressure sensors: 1. Installation location: Tire pressure sensors can be divided into internal and external types. Internal sensors are installed inside the tire, which is relatively more stable and provides more accurate temperature monitoring data. External sensors are attached outside the valve stem, which are relatively cheaper and easier to install, but the temperature monitoring may have a difference of 2-3 degrees compared to internal sensors. 2. Display screen: The tire pressure monitoring display is usually placed on the dashboard. The middle position of the dashboard contains many electronic devices, which can cause some interference with wireless radio frequency, especially devices like electronic eyes.
I usually enjoy studying vehicle details while driving. The tire pressure monitoring sensors are typically fixed on the inner side of the wheel rim, specifically on the valve stem base close to the rim, which allows for accurate measurement of air pressure and temperature changes. Every time I go to the 4S shop for maintenance, the mechanics remove the tires and check the sensors to ensure they are not loose or damaged. If the dashboard shows abnormal tire pressure while driving, it means the sensor is functioning properly to alert you for safety, and its position is cleverly designed to avoid external collisions. The sensor's battery usually needs replacement every few years, and the operation is performed on the wheel rim, which is quite convenient but requires professional tools to avoid mistakes. I recommend car owners regularly check their tire pressure with a pressure gauge to compare readings and maintain safe driving.
