Tire Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation
Description
DESCRIPTION
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. 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.
The TPM system operates on a 315 MHz radio frequency. The 315 MHz sensors can be easily identified by a white outline oval (black center) insignia
(3) on the sensor body.
The TPM sensors are designed for original style factory wheels. It is not recommended to install a tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel (This
could cause sealing and system performance issues). 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.
