Where is the Tire Pressure Monitoring System Located?
1 Answers
Tire pressure monitoring systems can be divided into internal and external types based on sensor installation location. Internal TPMS sensors are installed inside the tire, replacing the original valve stem, while external TPMS adds a sensor outside the valve stem. The functions of TPMS are: 1. Preventing accidents; 2. Extending tire service life; 3. Reducing wear on suspension systems. TPMS automatically monitors tire pressure in real-time during vehicle operation and alerts drivers about tire leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. Its working principle involves pressure sensors installed in tires measuring air pressure, then transmitting this information wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module.
