Tire Pressure Monitoring System, or TPMS, continuously watches inflation pressure and temperature, and warns the driver of abnormal conditions via an in-cab liquid-crystal display and alarm. The wireless system uses sensor-transmitters that easily screw onto valve stems so tires needn’t be demounted, as they must for installation of internal sensors.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System, or TPMS, continuously watches inflation pressure and temperature, and warns the driver of abnormal conditions via an in-cab liquid-crystal display and alarm. The wireless system uses sensor-transmitters that easily screw onto valve stems so tires needn’t be demounted, as they must for installation of internal sensors. TPMS’s sensors have built-in valve stems which allow airing up or down without removal of the sensors. They are powered by batteries with a life of seven to 10 years, and the rugged devices should last indefinitely, according to the company.
