Understanding Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS)
Tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) are electronic systems designed to monitor the air pressure inside the pneumatic tires on various types of vehicles. TPMS provide real-time information to the driver, usually through a dashboard warning light, about the pressure in the tires. This information helps prevent accidents caused by tire failure due to underinflation, which can lead to poor handling, reduced fuel economy, and tire blowouts.
There are two main types of TPMS:
- Direct TPMS: These systems use sensors located inside each tire, directly measuring the air pressure and transmitting the data wirelessly to the vehicle’s ECU.
- Indirect TPMS: These systems rely on the wheel speed sensors of the anti-lock braking system (ABS). They infer tire pressure by monitoring the rotation speed of each wheel.
Why is TPMS Important?
Properly inflated tires are crucial for several reasons:
- Safety: Underinflated tires can overheat, increasing the risk of a blowout, especially at high speeds.
- Fuel Efficiency: Underinflated tires create more rolling resistance, requiring the engine to work harder and reducing fuel economy.
- Tire Lifespan: Underinflation causes uneven tire wear, reducing the lifespan of the tires.
- Handling and Braking: Correct tire pressure ensures optimal vehicle handling and braking performance.
