Question
Can TPMS sensors detect tire leaks?
Answer
Yes—they monitor pressure drops over time to identify slow leaks or sudden punctures.
Explain
Slow leaks (0.5-1 PSI/day) trigger warnings after 2-3 days; sudden punctures (5+ PSI loss) trigger immediate alerts. CHEPQ tools log pressure trends (e.g., “Left Front: -0.8 PSI in 24h”) to distinguish leaks from temperature-related fluctuations.
