Will the tire pressure alarm go off if the pressure is too high?

Tire pressure alarm will go off if the pressure is too high. If the car is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system, it will alert the driver when the tire pressure is either too high or too low. When the system detects inconsistent air pressure among the four wheels, it will illuminate the tire pressure warning light on the dashboard and emit an audible alert to notify the driver. There are generally two types of tire pressure monitoring systems: direct tire pressure monitoring and indirect tire pressure monitoring. The tire pressure sensors are installed either inside the tires or on the outside of the valve stems. The indirect tire pressure monitoring system is a simpler system that utilizes the ABS sensors to compare the rotation counts of the tires. If one tire has insufficient pressure, its circumference becomes shorter, causing it to rotate more times than the other tires during driving.
