Where is the tire pressure sensor located?

Tire pressure sensors are installed on the tires, typically at the valve stem position. The tire pressure monitoring display is usually placed on the center console. The middle area of the center console houses many electronic devices, which can cause some interference with wireless radio frequency signals. Relevant information about tire pressure monitoring sensors is as follows: 1. Based on the installation location of the tire pressure monitoring sensor, it can be divided into internal and external types. 2. Internal sensors are installed inside the tire, which is relatively more stable and provides more accurate temperature monitoring data. 3. External sensors are attached to the outside of the valve stem. These are relatively cheaper, easy to install (taking only a few minutes), but there is a temperature monitoring difference of 2-3 degrees compared to internal sensors.
As a seasoned driver with years of experience, I've noticed that tire pressure sensors are typically installed on the valve stems inside the tires, directly attached to the rims. The location is ingeniously designed to measure pressure directly and wirelessly transmit data to the vehicle's display, avoiding external interference. My own car has this system, conveniently positioned for maintenance, but care must be taken during tire changes to avoid damaging the sensor. The battery lasts several years, but over time it may deplete, causing false warnings on the dashboard. I recommend that owners have technicians check it during every maintenance to ensure accurate pressure, as it's crucial for driving safety and tire longevity. The sensor's placement ensures real-time monitoring, reducing the risk of blowouts, and I've personally witnessed it saving me from an unexpected situation.
