Where is the Volkswagen tire pressure sensor installed?
1 Answers
Volkswagen pressure monitoring sensors are installed on the wheel rolling elements. Tire pressure monitoring is the real-time automatic monitoring of tire pressure during vehicle operation, with alerts for tire leaks and low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are three commonly used tire pressure monitoring methods: Direct tire pressure monitoring: Direct tire pressure monitoring devices use pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure tire pressure. The pressure information is transmitted from inside the tire to a central receiver module via a wireless transmitter, and then the tire pressure data for each tire is displayed. Indirect tire pressure monitoring: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that wheel to become smaller, resulting in a faster rotation speed compared to other wheels. By comparing the differences in rotation speeds between tires, the purpose of monitoring tire pressure is achieved. Introduction to the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): It combines the advantages of the above two systems, equipping direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and incorporating a 4-wheel indirect system.
