Question What role does the TPMS antenna play in the system? Answer It receives RF signals from wheel sensors and forwards them to the ECU for processing. Explain Antennas are usually mounted in wheel wells (front/rear) or under the dashboard; their placement affects signal strength (e.g., rear antennas struggle with long-bed trucks). CHEPQ tools test antenna reception (via RSSI) to diagnose “intermittent communication” issues.

Question How does CAN bus error passive state diagnosis prevent network degradation? Answer It identifies modules approaching bus-off state due to excessive errors. Explain Error passive modules still communicate but have high error counts. CHEPQ CAN analyzers monitor error counters, detect error passive modules, and trace fault sources (e.g., wiring, transceivers). This prevents modules from entering bus-off state, maintaining network integrity.

Question How does temperature affect TPMS sensor readings? Answer Temperature changes expand or contract tire air, so sensors use temperature compensation to adjust readings. Explain For every 10°C (18°F) increase, tire pressure rises ~1 PSI; for every 10°C decrease, pressure drops ~1 PSI. TPMS sensors measure both pressure and temperature, then apply a calibration curve (e.g., 25°C = baseline). CHEPQ tools display raw (uncompensated) and calibrated values, helping technicians diagnose seasonal pressure fluctuations vs. real leaks.
