Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation
SENSOR-TPM
DESCRIPTION
Fig. 17 Sensor Mounting - Exploded View
On vehicles equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM), one tire pressure sensor (6) is mounted to each wheel (5) in place of the traditional tire
valve stem (Fig. 17). Each sensor has an internal battery that lasts up to 10 years. The battery is not serviceable. At the time of battery failure, the
sensor must be replaced.
Fig. 18 Tire Pressure Sensor
The TPM system operates on a 315 MHz radio frequency. Corporate 315 MHz sensors can be easily identified by a white outline oval (black center)
insignia (3) on the sensor body (Fig. 18).
The TPM sensors are designed for original style factory wheels. Do not attempt to install a tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. If aftermarket
wheels are installed and do not contain tire pressure sensors, the system will not function properly and the driver will be continuously notified of a
system malfunction.
