What Is TPMS?

The TREAD Act made it mandatory for all vehicles manufactured or imported into the country from 2004 to possess a Tire-Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). The TPMS is an electronic system that monitors the tire’s air pressure. The TPMS sensors report tire pressure information to the vehicle's dashboard instrument panel.

Direct or Indirect?

A direct TPMS system is used more often in the United States, and the sensors are located in the tire pressure valve or wrapped around the wheel's rim with a band clamp.

An indirect TPMS system detects low tire pressure by comparing relative wheel speeds. The indirect system may not turn on the warning light if all the tires are similarly underinflated because all the tires will rotate at the same rate.
