According to Mr. James Harper, an automotive technology expert at Bosch (USA), tire pressure sensors (TPMS) are increasingly becoming an important piece of equipment in modern cars, helping drivers promptly detect problems related to tire pressure.
One of the important notes when installing TPMS is to choose the type of sensor that is suitable for each type of vehicle.
Not all TPMS systems are compatible with all types of vehicles, so checking the vehicle's specifications and sensors is extremely necessary, according to Mr. James Harper.
There are two main types of tire pressure sensors: direct and indirect sensors.
The directly detector directly measures the pressure of each wheel, while the indirect detector relies on the speed of the wheel to estimate the pressure.
Choosing the right sensor will help the system operate more efficiently and avoid notification errors.
Another important factor is the location of the sensor installation. The sensor needs to be installed in the right position, usually inside or outside the tire valve, to ensure accurate signal. In addition, modern TPMS systems also have the ability to automatically compensate for errors if detecting tire pressure changes, helping to increase accuracy in warning".
Car expert Harper also emphasized that maintaining tire pressure sensors is extremely important.
Because drivers need to check and replace the battery of the sensor periodically to ensure stable performance.
A sensor with a weak or damaged battery will not be able to issue a timely warning, endangering the driver, Mr. Harper added.
In addition, regularly monitoring tire pressure also helps detect abnormalities such as uneven tire wear or air leakage.
Experts recommend that tire pressure should be checked at least once a month, and always ensure it meets the standards set by the car manufacturer.
In the context of modern traffic, the TPMS system is not only a convenience but also an important factor in helping to protect the safety of the driver and the vehicle.
Therefore, selecting, installing and maintaining this system properly is necessary to ensure that the vehicle is always in optimal operation.
