(Don't forget, we proudly offer TPMS service, and you can schedule an appointment by clicking here)Direct Monitoring Systems Direct TPMS use individual sensors/transmitters inside every tire and sometimes full size spare to transmit data to the control module. These sensors read temperature and internal pressure of the tire. The data received at the central control module is then scrutinized and if there are any issues with any of the tires the information is sent to the vehicle's information system. The data is usually sent wirelessly as radio signal. Because direct monitoring systems use sensors, they usually generate very accurate information and can alert you almost immediately if pressure in any of the tires falls below the recommended level. These types of TPMS can also detect gradual air loss over time. Some direct TPMS have dashboard displays that allow the driver to check tire pressures easily from the driver's seat.
