How does the TPMS work on a Hyundai?

How does the TPMS work on a Hyundai?

Hi‐line systems show the driver individual tire positions and air pressures of all tires. Lo‐line systems do not show individual tire positions and only alter that one of the 4 tires is under inflated. Some models switched systems mid‐year, so be aware of the type of TPMS you are servicing.

When does the TPMS warning light come on?

When low tire pressure or rapid deflation is detected, the low-pressure warning light on the instrument cluster will be illuminated. If the system detects a module, receiver or sensor fault, the TPMS warning indicator on the instrument cluster will be illuminated. The early system had the warning lamps directly wired to the instrument clusters.

When does tire pressure sensor shut off TPMS?

Corrected tire inflation pressure will cause the TPMS indicator to shut off once the tire pressure sensor reports to the TPMS receiver, approximately 20 minutes after the vehicle stops moving, or after 20 minutes of continuous driving.
