A car tyre pressure monitoring (TPMS) system is an electrical system devised to gauge air pressure in the tyres. The TPMS system alerts drivers when one or more tyres are dangerously under-or over-inflated. As you are aware, driving with an under or over-inflated tyre is quite risky. Especially on hot summer days in the UAE, appropriate tyre pressure is extremely crucial. Let\u2019s go through the details of the tyre pressure monitoring system and how it works. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Do Tyre Pressure Monitors Work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In order to understand the importance of tyre pressure monitoring systems, we need to first learn how a tyre pressure monitoring system works. For that, it is important to first distinguish between its two types: the direct TPMS and the indirect TPMS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A direct car tyre pressure monitoring system measures the air pressure in each tyre with a sensor mounted inside the car\u2019s wheels. When the air pressure falls below 25% of the manufacturer\u2019s recommended air level, the sensor enters this information in your car\u2019s computer system and an indicator light triggers on the dashboard. The direct TPMS system delivers the exact tyre pressure readings from the tyre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, the indirect TPMS works with a vehicle\u2019s Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)<\/a> wheel speed sensors. Each wheel\u2019s rate of revolution is measured through these sensors. The computer interprets the size of a car\u2019s tyre based on each wheels rate of revolution. If one of the tyres starts to spin or rotate faster than others, the computer calculates the tyre as underinflated and alerts the driver accordingly. The indirect TPMS is cheaper than the direct tyre pressure monitoring systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The importance of proper air pressure in your car\u2019s wheels cannot be looked down upon and this is where car tyre pressure monitoring systems come into play. Without TPMS you wouldn\u2019t know if the air pressure in your car\u2019s tyres is over or underinflated. Among the many reasons you should pay attention to an illuminated TPMS light, the following are crucial:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
