2 Introduction
2.1 About TPMS
2.1.1 Tire Pressure Monitoring System
A Tire Pressure Monitoring System is a safety device that measures, identifies and warns the
driver when one or more tires is significantly under-inflated or over-inflated. Majority of the TPMS
adopt direct tire sensors. The TPMS sensor is typically located as a valve-mounted stem in the
tire. It works by monitoring the temperature, air pressure, and battery state in a vehicle tire and
automatically transmitting a warning to the driver via a warning light or dashboard display. Those
vehicles which have graphical displays of the TPMS positions can then show on which wheel
there is a problem.
2.1.2 Why Monitor Tire Pressure?
Tire Pressure Monitoring helps drivers to properly maintain their vehicle tires, improves vehicle
safety and fuel efficiency.
33,000 crashes are a result of under-inflated tires.
75% of roadside flats are caused by a slow leak or under inflation.
35% of drivers admit to never checking tire pressure.
An SUV owner can save as much as $600 a year just by keeping the tires properly inflated.
2.8 Billion gallons of gas is wasted annually in the U.S. at a cost of $11.2 billion.
NHTSA estimates TPMS could save as many as 660 lives annually.
Source: U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Data
Tires influence the vehicle’s ability to handle, steer, brake, and maintain stability. If the tires are
under-inflated, vehicle safety is compromised. Sudden tire failure can have serious
consequences, especially at high speeds. With the help of TPMS, An estimated 23,000 accidents
and 535 fatal accidents annually involve blowouts or flat tires. It is reported by Sécurité Routière
(the French Institution for Road Safety) that 9% of all road accidents worldwide are attributed to
tire under-inflation. German DEKRA estimated that 41% of accidents with physical injuries are
linked to tire problems, according to their investigation.
Given this background the US Federal government has legislated for the mandatory use of TPMS.
In late 2007, the United States Department of Transportation (NHTSA) have stipulated that for
2008 all newly manufactured or imported US passenger car and light truck vehicles to be fitted
with TPMS systems. The TPMS mandated by the US law must warn the driver when a tire is
under-inflated by as much as 25%. Following the success in the United States with reduction of
tire-related vehicle accidents and strong fuel savings for TPMS-enabled vehicles, Europe and
South Korea have also enacted TPMS legislation, which will be fully implemented between 2012
and 2014. Over the next few years, Asian-Pacific countries such as China, Japan, India, Russia,
Israel, and Turkey are projected to follow suit and it is expected that TPMS will soon be a global
vehicle safety feature similar to seat belts and air bags.
2.2 About NT1001
The NT1001 TPMS trigger tool is a universal TPM sensor decoder or activator. It accurately
activates and decodes TPM sensors and displays the data or any faults.
