1. Is the low tire pressure symbol found on the dashboard? Check for this symbol when starting the ignition.
2. Does the vehicle dashboard have a symbol of the vehicle that highlights tire positions, or a text message that states “check tire pressure” or something familiar?
3. Are the valves stems aluminum and/or secured with nuts? This may indicate a TPM sensor.
The Decision Flowchart helps determine whether a tire pressure monitoring sensor needs to be replaced
Indirect TPMS:
Indirect systems employ wheel speed sensors on a vehicle’s anti-lock brake (ABS) system to track each tire’s rotation. The premise is that under-inflated tires have a smaller radius, resulting in a higher rotational speed compared with a fully inflated tire. The sensor is supposed to detect the faster rotation, and the system alerts the driver. In practice, this change in radius is small, making indirect measurement less reliable than direct pressure measurement.
Technical features
- Constant monitoring of inflation pressure, tire temperature, tire sensor identification and battery life while driving and when standing still
- Prevents the consequences of low tire pressure through early detection:
- Punctures (approx. 80% of punctures are caused by inadequate tire pressure)
- Increased tire wear due to added flexing work
- Increased fuel consumption due to higher rolling resistance
- Always provides optimum driving comfort
- Driver is informed immediately of deviations from setpoint
- In a typical temperature profile functionally reliable up to 120C, temperature-resistant up to 170C
- Reliable up to 2000 g acceleration (static) and approved for numerous high-speed vehicles
- Vibration resistant and even suitable for use with snow chains
- Flexible design for almost all rim applications
- Tire inflation pressure can be individually specified and therefore tailored exactly to the loading of the vehicle
- Self-learning system with automatic individual wheel detection, leading to faster and more efficient wheel changes
- Saves the troublesome, inconvenient and inaccurate testing at gas stations (the tires warm up while driving to the gas station, while the specified values apply to cold tires)
- Reduces fuel consumption and the release of CO2 into the atmosphere
How to keep your tires properly inflated:
1: Check tire pressure at least once a month and before going on long trips. Since temperature affects tire pressure, it is best to check tires when they are cold, i.e. haven’t been driven on for at least three hours.
2: Fill your tires with the pressure recommended on the tire label, located on the drivers door frame, sill or edge.
3: If you have any questions about your tires or maintenance, check your owners manual or consult your dealer.
Questions and answers:
Q: WHY IS PROPER TIRE INFLATION IMPORTANT:
A: Keeping your tires at the recommended pressure is essential for the safe and efficient operation of your vehicle. Safety experts estimate that 25 percent of automobiles are running on tires with lower than recommended pressure. Properly inflated tires run cooler, last longer, and improve fuel economy.
Q: WHY DOES TIRE PRESSURE CHANGE:
A: Many factors affect tire pressure, and that is why it is so important to check your tires at least once a month and before going on long trips. Tire pressure can decrease due to tire damage, slow leaks, or changes in outside temperature. For example, when the weather changes, your tire pressure changes too. For every drop of 10 degrees Fahrenheit in temperature, your tires lose 1 psi. Tires also deflate naturally over time, as much as 1.5 psi per month.
Q: HOW DOES THE NEW TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM WORK?:
A: Sophisticated sensors in the automobile continuously monitor tire pressure, and the warning light goes on when a tire is 25 percent or more below the appropriate tire pressure.
Q: WHEN WILL THE NEW TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM BE AVAILALBLE?:
A: The U.S. government, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), requires Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems on all passenger cars and light trucks by the 2008 vehicle model year. Check your owners manual to see if your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System. Many models have already been equipped with a system.
Q: IF THE WARNING LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?:
A: On cold mornings, the warning light may illuminate and then extinguish as tire pressure increases due to driving or outside air temperature increases. Additionally, if the warning light goes on and off, a malfunction in the system is indicated by a blinking light (for a period of 60 seconds to 90 seconds). After blinking for the brief time, the warning light can remain on. You should then contact your dealer for a system inspection.
Q: HOW SOON DO I NEED TO FILL MY TIRES IF THE LIGHT GOES ON?:
A: Please heed the warning light and check your tires as soon as possible.
Q: DOES THE WARNING LIGHT ALWAYS MEAN THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE IS LOW?:
A: The warning light may indicate a system malfunction requiring a dealers attention. If the warning light flashes before it is continuously on, but the tire pressure is found to be within the appropriate range, contact your dealer for a system inspection.
Q: WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO DO FOR TIRE SAFETY?:
A: The Tire Pressure Monitoring System is a tool to keep you informed about low tire pressure, but it is no substitute for regular tire maintenance. Check your tire pressure at least once a month and before going on long trips. Consult your owners manual on replacing a tire or using a spare tire.
UK-based Tomkins has agreed to sell its Schrader division to a Chicago-based affiliate, Madison Dearborn Partners LLC, for a sale price of $505 million cash plus a small minority equity interest in the parent of the purchasing company.
Tomkins is jointly owned by Onex Corp. (OCX.TO) and the Canada Pension Plan Investment board.
Schrader is ones of the world’s leading manufacturers of tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS), valve products, tire hardware, and related original equipment and aftermarket accessories.
The transactions may close in the second quarter of 2012.
Tires like most things in life are not invincible. They are made of individual layers of fabric and steel encased in rubber. If a tire is allowed to run on low air pressure, the rubber is forced to stretch beyond the elastic limits of the fabric and steel reinforcing cords. When this happens, the bond between the various materials can weaken. If this is allowed to continue, it will eventually break the bonds between the various materials and cause the tire to fail. And even if the tire doesn’t fail immediately, once a tire is weakened it won’t heal after being re-inflated to the proper pressure. So if a tire has been allowed to run nearly flat for a period of time, the tire is going to need to be replaced. Costing you in some cases hundreds of dollars.
Try flexing a piece of sheet metal back and forth and you may get to 30 or 40 times before it fractures.. Somewhat like that piece of sheet metal, your tire, when run low on air can rip at the weakest point. A typical 18″ tire may revolve 750-800 times per mile! On a 20 minute trip at highway speeds the underinflated tire may needlessly over flex as many as 16 thousand times.
We all know how quickly or slowly a tire can lose pressure, that phantom flat tire every 3 days sound familiar to you? Obviously air is getting out somehow.
TPMS or Tire Pressure Monitoring systems, continuously monitor the air pressure inside the tire. Some systems indicate which tire is low and may even monitor your spare, while others only alert you that one of your tire is low. Each wheel has a small sensor that is part of the wheels valve stem. The sensor is affixed to the inside of the wheel attached by the valve stem, inside the tire and wheel assembly.
Each of your sensors is a small radio transmitter. It lays dormant (park mode) when the car is at rest. The sensor then wakes up when the car travels at 15mph. If the car comes to rest for 20 minutes or more the sensors shut down again to park mode. This extends the life the batteries, which should last between 7-10 years.
If the pressure exceeds the high or low limits of the pressure threshold, the sensor sends a signal to the system receiver and your warning indicator illuminates. ( ! ) You may have seen this on your dash and wondered what the heck it was. All vehicles produced after 2007 are mandated to be equipped with TPMS systems.
