The tire pressure monitor system is referred to as TPMS. This technology can automatically monitor the various conditions of the tire by recording the tire speed or the electronic sensor installed in the tire, which can provide effective safety for driving.The tire pressure monitor system is very important for the car. Do you know how to install it?
The car tire pressure monitor system has already become a basic standard on most cars, but there are still many cars that do not have their own tire pressure monitor system. Many people will install TPMS by themselves. Actually the tire pressure detection system is easy to install. Place an independent tire pressure controller on the instrument panel. The power supply can be powered by a 12 volt cigarette lighter or the entire vehicle line. Install the other four tire pressure sensors at the tire nozzle. They are transmitted by wireless signals, thus a set of system is completed.
The specific steps are to first unscrew the dust plug, screw the hex nut, and find the corresponding monitor to screw it on. Then use a wrench to reversely rotate the hex nut so that it fits into the monitor. After installation of TPMS, the host displays the data. The small circle on the outside is the current tire temperature, and the big characters inside are the tire pressure.
Puncture
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued a report that when the tire pressure is lower than the standard value of 25%, it will cause the chance of a puncture increased by three times. If exceeds the standard value of 25%, the chance of a puncture will be doubled.
Reduce brake performance
If the tire pressure is too high, the contact area between the tread and the ground is reduced, and the friction is reduced, which will extend the braking distance.
Increase fuel consumption
When the tire pressure is too low, the contact area between the tread and the ground increases, the friction increases, the resistance also increases, which will make the fuel consumption increase.
Shorten the life of the tire
If the tire pressure is too high, the tread will be excessively worn in the middle.However, if the tire pressure is too low, the tread will be excessively worn on both sides, which will cause the tire to be scrapped in advance.
Tire tire pressure monitor system is an important active safety device. It is listed by the US Department of Transportation and the National Highway Safety Administration as one of the three major safety systems of the car together with the car airbag and anti-lock braking system. We must pay attention to it.
There are three main types of automotive tire pressure monitoring devices that can be retrofitted on the market today: built-in direct monitoring, external direct monitoring, and indirect monitoring embedded in the OBD interface. We can choose one according to our needs.
