TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) is a tire pressure monitoring system that allows the driver to receive information about the pressure in each of the tires on the car dashboard or on a mobile device.
TPMS consists of sensors mounted on each wheel that transmit tire pressure data to a receiver inside the vehicle.
The TPMS system can operate in two modes: direct and indirect. In direct mode, the sensors directly report tire pressure data, while in indirect mode, the system uses wheel speed data to detect changes in tire pressure.
TPMS improves safety on the road, as correct tire pressure reduces the risk of accidents and increases vehicle stability on the road.
In addition, proper tire pressure helps save fuel and extend tire life.
TPMS is a mandatory system for new vehicles in many countries around the world, including the US and Europe.
