Where to Check the Tire Pressure Monitoring in Outlander?
1 Answers
The tire pressure monitoring system in Outlander vehicles is not an active detection type but rather a passive one. Normally, the vehicle does not display the actual tire pressure values for each tire. The tire pressure warning light will only illuminate when abnormal tire pressure is detected. To check specific tire pressure values, manual measurement with a tire pressure gauge is required. Tire pressure monitoring involves real-time automatic monitoring of tire pressure during vehicle operation and alerts for tire leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are three common methods of tire pressure monitoring: Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: This system uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure tire pressure. Wireless transmitters send pressure data from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the pressure data for each tire. The system automatically alerts when tire pressure is too low or if there is a leak. Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring: When a tire's pressure decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that tire to become smaller, resulting in faster rotation compared to other tires. By comparing the rotational speed differences between tires, the system monitors tire pressure. Indirect tire pressure monitoring systems rely on calculating the rolling radius of tires to monitor pressure. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Introduction: This system combines the advantages of both direct and indirect systems. Direct sensors are installed in two diagonally opposite tires, and a four-wheel indirect system is also employed. Compared to a full direct system, this hybrid system reduces costs and overcomes the limitation of indirect systems, which cannot detect simultaneous low pressure in multiple tires. However, it still cannot provide real-time pressure data for all four tires as a direct system does.
