Most of these systems use a “direct” approach which incorporates the use of wheel based transmitters or sensors (typically incorporated into the valve stem) which report tire pressure (in addition to the sensor ID) to the engine control module (ECM) or some specific controller module on the vehicle. In order to conserve batter life, these sensors are designed to transmit information to t…
