Tire pressure directly affects handling, braking, and fuel efficiency. Many vehicles use indirect
TPMS systems that rely on sensor data. OBD TPMS diagnostics help ensure these systems function accurately.
How Indirect TPMS Systems Work
Wheel Speed Comparison
Detects pressure differences between tires.
Vehicle Stability Data
Identifies rolling resistance changes.
Common TPMS Issues
Incorrect Calibration
Causes false warnings.
Sensor Data Errors
Lead to undetected pressure loss.
How OBD Diagnoses TPMS Problems
Wheel Speed Analysis
OBD identifies abnormal rotation patterns.
System Reset and Calibration
Ensures accurate monitoring.
Benefits of TPMS Diagnostics
Improved driving safety
Extended tire lifespan
Better fuel efficiency
Conclusion
OBD diagnostics help maintain accurate tire pressure monitoring for safer driving.
