Vehicle tire pressure monitoring system, has control module receiving pressure and pulse signals from rotation and pressure sensors, respectively to detect low pressure condition of tire

摘要

The system includes multiple inflatable tires, and rotation sensor (12) e.g. pulse generation sensor, that generates rotation signals based on the rotation of the tires. A pressure sensor (16) associated with the tire, generates a pressure signal based on the pressure level within the tires. A control module (18) receives the pressure and pulse signals from the sensors to monitor low pressure condition of the tire. An independent claim is also included for a method of detecting low pressure condition in a tire.
