2. Tire-pressure monitoring system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire-pressure_monitoring...

   A tire-pressure monitoring system (TPMS) monitors the air pressure inside the pneumatic tires on vehicles. [1] A TPMS reports real-time tire-pressure information to the driver, using either a gauge, a pictogram display, or a simple low-pressure warning light. TPMS can be divided into two different types – direct (dTPMS) and indirect (iTPMS).

3. Direct TPMS - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_TPMS

   A typical direct TPMS (e.g. Ford, [4] BMW [5] or Toyota [6]) comprises the following components on a vehicle: A direct TPM sensor fitted to the back of the valve stem on each wheel; A TPM Warning Light; Unique identifier (IDs) for which tire is providing the data including speed and the direction of rotation; A tire pressure monitor electronic ...

4. Tire-pressure gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire-pressure_gauge

   Many modern cars now come with built-in tire pressure sensors that allow all four tire pressures to be read simultaneously from inside the car. Before 2005, most on-board tire-pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) used indirect pressure monitoring. The anti-lock brake sensors detect one tire rotating faster than the rest and indicate a low tire ...

5. TPMS - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TPMS

   TPMS may refer to: Takoma Park Middle School, in Maryland, US; Tire-pressure monitoring system; Transaction Processing Management System, ICL computer software; Triply periodic minimal surface, an aspect of differential geometry

6. Acura RL - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acura_RL

   Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS]) - provides individual pressure readings for each tire and tire position in a graphical display, and alerts the driver in the event of low or no pressure; 5 mph (8.0 km/h) bumpers front and back; Optional Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) (2006-forward) Optional Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) (2006 ...

7. Tire maintenance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_maintenance

   Tire maintenance for motor vehicles is based on several factors. The chief reason for tire replacement is friction from moving contact with road surfaces, causing the tread on the outer perimeter of tires to eventually wear away. When the tread depth becomes too shallow, like for example below 3.2 mm (4/32 in), the tire is worn out and should ...

8. Central tire inflation system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Tire_Inflation_System

   Another function of CTIS is to maintain tire pressure if there is a slow leak or puncture. In this case, the system controls inflation automatically based on the selected pressure the driver has set. [1] CTIS also extends truck, tire, and drive train life, by significantly reducing vibration and shock loading.

9. Tire uniformity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_uniformity

   Capacitive Sensors generate a dielectric field between the tire and sensor. As the distance between the tire and the sensor varies, the voltage and/or current properties of the dielectric field change. Analog circuitry is employed to measure the field changes and record the run-out waveform. Capacitive sensors have a larger area-of-interest, on ...
