What are the 2 types of TPMS systems?
There are two different types of systems being used today: Direct TPMS and Indirect TPMS. Direct TPMS uses a sensor mounted in the wheel to measure air pressure in each tire.
How can you tell if your tires have TPMS sensors?
Just look for the lock nut on the valve stem and that will give a pretty good idea that the wheel has the TPMS sensors. Chances are if it’s metal valve stem it’s tpms. And that whole cut out on the rim thing is not always true. Likewise, can the tire pressure sensor be removed?
How does a tire pressure sensor work on a car?
The TPMS pressure sensor inside the wheel is typically built into the valve stem. Radio receivers near each wheel pick up the signal and tells it when a tire is low, and which tire it is. Some systems will even tell you the exact tire pressure of each tire right on the dashboard.
How does a direct TPMS system work on a car?
Direct systems or Indirect systems. Direct TPMS uses sensors inside each tyre that are attached to the tyre valves. The sensors monitor the pressure of each individual tyre and send a wireless signal back to the vehicle computer. The pressure data is then displayed on the vehicle’s dashboard.
Can you buy wheels and tyres without TPMS?
Wheels or wheels and tyres can be purchased without TPMS sensors and fitted to your vehicle with no issues at all. If your car comes with a direct TPMS then you will need to make the decision to either re-use your existing sensors or purchase a set of new sensors.

How does TPMS work on a smart car?
Each time the CAN wakes up, the control unit performs a reinitialization. While driving, the tire circuit 15 OFF for a further t = 19 min). When the completed via the TPM [RDK] wheel sensors. While telegrams every 60 seconds. speed for the tire pressure determination. These data are provided via CAN by the instrument cluster.
