Tire pressure sensor

Each sensor is an integrated unit made up of the tire valve stem, a pressure sensor, and a transmitter. The unit is attached to the inside of the wheel, around the valve stem. The sensor transmits the internal tire information to the TPMS control unit once every 60 seconds when the vehicle speed exceeds 28 mph (45 km/h). When the TPMS control unit receives a tire pressure signal that is less than 183 kPa (1.9 kgf/cm2 , 27 psi), the TPMS control unit then turns on the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator. When that tire's pressure is increased to more than 210 kPa (2.1 kgf/cm2 , 30 psi), and the vehicle is driven above 28 mph (45 km/h) the transmitter sends the tire pressure signal to the control unit, and then the control unit turns the indicator off.

NOTE: Do not mix the tire pressure sensors or TPMS wheels with other TPMS types. Be sure to use the correct sensors and wheels for this system. Sensors are active:
