TPMS delivers accurate real time tire pressure information to the driver of the vehicle via a gauge, a picto-gramme display, or a simple low pressure warning light.
The Rule:
- NHSTA requires a TPMS to notify the driver when any tire is 25% below placard pressure.
- Sensors in spare tires are not required.
- System must alert driver if there is a system malfunction.
- TPMS MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) bulb must light on instrument panel when ignition is turned on to run position.
- Placard decal must be present.
Readings are provided by pressure sensing transmitters mounted on the inside of each tire and sent to a central computer (ECU) for display on the dashboard. Direct TPMS enables simultaneous detection of under inflation in any or all of the four tires.
