2. TPMS System Review

Arepressuremonitoringsystem(TPMS)isanelectronicsystemde-

signedtomonitorvehiclerepressureandalertthedriverviaadash-

boardindicatorlightwhenrepressurefallsbelow25percent(U.S.)

and15-20percent(Europe).Typically,theTPMSconsistsofasensor

aachedtothevalvestemofeachrethatwirelesslytransmitsreand

sensordatatothevehicle’sElectronicControlUnit(ECU).
