TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING: TIRE PRESSURE WARNING SYSTEM: SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

1. DESCRIPTION OF SYSTEM

(a) When the tire pressure warning system detects that the tire pressure of a tire is below the threshold, it illuminates the tire pressure warning light to warn the driver.

(b) The tire pressure warning antenna and receiver receives the transmitter ID, temperature and tire pressure information from the tire pressure warning valve and transmitters shown in the following illustration. This information is used to determine when the pressure in one of the tires has dropped.





2. DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRATION

(a) When tires and wheels are replaced, always make sure that each transmitter ID is correctly registered.

(b) When one or more tire pressure warning valve and transmitters or the tire pressure warning ECU is replaced, the transmitter IDs for all of the tire pressure warning valve and transmitters must be reregistered. Before registering the transmitter ID of a new tire pressure warning valve and transmitter, check the Data List and record all of the transmitter IDs that are already registered.
