Where is the tire pressure monitoring system located in Volkswagen cars?

[VanEmma]

Volkswagen's tire pressure monitoring system is located on the dashboard. The tire pressure monitoring device uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure. It employs wireless transmitters to send pressure information from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the pressure data for each tire. There are three commonly used methods for tire pressure monitoring: Direct tire pressure monitoring: The direct tire pressure monitoring system uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure. It utilizes wireless transmitters to send pressure information from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the pressure data for each tire. When the tire pressure is too low or there is a leak, the system will automatically issue an alert. Indirect tire pressure monitoring: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that tire to become smaller, resulting in a faster rotation speed compared to the other wheels. By comparing the differences in rotation speeds between the tires, the system monitors the tire pressure. The indirect tire pressure warning system essentially relies on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor the pressure. Introduction to the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): This system combines the advantages of both the above systems. It is equipped with direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and includes a 4-wheel indirect system. Compared to using only a direct system, this hybrid system can reduce costs and overcome the limitation of the indirect system, which 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 as a direct system does.
