Question
Why do some TPMS ECUs have a “delay” before triggering low-pressure alerts?
Answer
To avoid warnings from temporary pressure drops (e.g., driving over potholes).
Explain
The delay (30-60 seconds) ensures the alert is for a real issue, not a transient event. CHEPQ tools show “pending alerts” during the delay.
