With its associated tire sensors and receiver; the initiator is part of the system used to detect the tire pressure of the tires in a vehicle. Four initiators are used in each vehicle, one for each tire. They are located in or near the wheel well and are connected by wire harness to the central receiver. This central receiver sends a 125KHz waveform over the wire harness to the initiator where it is converted to a magnetic field that is broadcast to a sensor in the tire. The tire sensor then responds by transmitting a 315MHz signal back to the receiver, closing the loop. With warning lights on the dashboard, the receiver informs the driver when the air pressure in a certain tire is low. The initiator consists of one printed circuit board housed in a plastic case. Embedded in the plastic case is a low frequency ferrite antenna. A three-pin connector molded into the plastic case is used to connect the wire harness from the receiver.

October 24, 2003 RE: TRW Inc. FCC ID: GQ4-22T The following is in response to comments made on the above referenced Application. General 1) Since the device may be mounted in any direction, please confirm that positioning of the device was investigated (i.e. X, Y, Z) in order to obtain worse case measurements at 3 meter. If not, then investigation of the device in X, Y, Z should be performed. Note that only worse case results need to be submitted. This is to ensure that worse case propagation from the device was not located in the Z-axis from the position shown in the test photos. The device was tested for all principle orientations, and the worst case emissions were reported. Since only one test setup photo is taken, we do not show the device in all orientations, as tested. 2) The limits in table 5.1 are correct for measurements up through 411 kHz. However, the limits for > 411 kHz are actually in uV/m instead of dBuV/m and therefore affects the results. Please correct. Sorry for the typo. A revised Test Report Exhibit has been uploaded including the corrected limit. 3) It is not certain if the labeling should be placed on the device or the main host unit (control module). It is not certain the device by itself is considered the TX or if this is simply the antenna and amplifier circuit. If the initiators are not considered fully as the TX, then the label should be applied to the main unit. Please provide a justification as to how the unit is labeled. Justification is as follows. TRW wants to place the labels as indicated primarily for identification, marketing, and inventory reasons. Since the RX is entirely contained in the control module, its label will be on main module. For the LF transmitter, the circuitry is split between the control module and the “initiator” module. Here, TRW requests that the label be placed on the “initiator” module because, in the users/manufacturers view, the initiator is this module and the transmitting coil is contained therein. Essentially, the labels are placed as such to avoid confusion and provide a means of identifying the RX and LF TX separately to the customer. Both modules will be sold together as part of the same model, 39360-S3V-A0.

Courtney Report approved by: _____________________ Valdis V. Liepa Valdis V. Liepa Research Scientist Summary Tests for compliance with FCC Regulations, Part 15, Subpart C, and for compliance with Industry Canada RSS-210, were performed on TRW, Inc. transmitter, model 39350-S3V-A0. This device is subject to Rules and Regulations as a transmitter. In testing completed 28-Jul-03, the device tested in the worst case met the allowed specifications for transmitter radiated emissions by 51.6 dB (see p. 7); digital emissions, Class B, were met by at least 20 dB. The conducted emissions tests do not apply, since the device is powered from a 12 VDC system. 2 1. Introduction TRW model 39350-S3V-A0 was tested for compliance with FCC Regulations, Part 15, adopted under Docket 87-389, April 18, 1989, and with Industry Canada RSS-210, Issue 5, November, 2001. The tests were performed at the University of Michigan Radiation Laboratory Willow Run Test Range following the procedures described in ANSI C63.4-1992 "Methods of Measurement of Radio-Noise Emissions from Low-Voltage Electrical and Electronic Equipment in the Range of 9 kHz to 40 GHz". The Site description and attenuation characteristics of the Open Site facility are on file with FCC Laboratory, Columbia, Maryland (FCC Reg. No: 91050) and with Industry Canada, Ottawa, ON (File Ref.
