Tire Pressure Monitoring Module, Premium System

Tire Pressure Monitoring Module, Premium System

Description

The TPM Module is a stand-alone receiver that is used to perform all TPM functionality in a Premium TPM System on this vehicle. The TPM is located in the right rear wheel well behind the splash shield and is mounted to the wheel house inner flange with a bracket. The TPM uses information transmitted from each of the sensors as well as the difference is the strength of the signal received to determine the location of each of the sensors. The TPM then transmits the required information directly to the CCN in order to update the lamp, chime and display as required.

Operation

The TPM receives information from each of the sensors in the form of RF signals. The information contained in each of the transmissions provides all the information necessary for the TPM to determine the pressure in each tire as well as the position of the sensor. This auto locating process only happens in the first 10 minutes of any drive cycle while traveling at speeds above 15mph (24 km/h). (The auto locating process will start again only if the vehicle has been shut off for approximately 20 minutes or longer).
