The Tire Pressure Monitoring System utilizes transmitters that are located in the valve stem (1) of each tire (2) to communicate the tire pressure condition to the module. If a tire has low air pressure, an indicator light on the Instrument Cluster is illuminated. The vehicle operator must check the tire pressure of each tire in order to determine which tire has a low pressure condition.
