What is a TPM system on a 2007 Dodge Nitro?
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) will warn the driver of a low tire pressure based on the vehicle recommended cold placard pressure. The tire pressure will vary with temperature by about 1 psi (6.9 kPa) for every 12°F (6.5°C). The tire pressure will also increase as the vehicle is driven.
Does check TPM system mean?
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
The purpose of the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) is to alert you when tire pressure is too low and could create unsafe driving conditions. If the light is illuminated, it means your tires could be underinflated, which can lead to undue tire wear and possible tire failure.
How does a direct TPMS system work on a car?
Direct TPMS systems use TPMS sensors inside the wheel to accurately report pressure data to the vehicle’s ECU in real time. Direct systems include Asian, domestic and European vehicles. An indirect TPMS system uses an ABS system to monitor the speed of the wheel in order to approximate tire pressure.
What causes a TPMS warning light to flash?
There are numerous situations that can cause a TPMS warning light to come on or flash. Some TPMS problems include: • The TPMS system voltage supply, wiring or internal electronics may not be functioning properly; • The tires were serviced or rotated and the relearn procedure was not properly performed.
What should I do if my TPMS sensor is not working?
Vehicles with direct-type TPMS systems are equipped with TPMS sensors. If a TPMS sensor is not working, it must be replaced before a relearn procedure can be performed. The damaged TPMS sensor can be replaced with an OE sensor or an aftermarket sensor.
Do you need a TPMS tool for OBDII relearn?
An OBDII relearn procedure requires a TPMS diagnostic tool to transfer new sensor IDs directly to the vehicle’s ECU. The user will need to trigger each TPMS sensor, connect to the vehicle’s OBD port, then follow the step-by-step instructions on the tool.
