How do the Nissan low tire sensors work?

Answer by  Doug77 (1433)

Some high-end systems utilize separate pressure sensors in each tire that sends a radio signal to the car's computer but, most basic systems use the anti-lock brake sensors to sense a small difference in tire speeds since a low tire spins slower than an inflated one.

This works as an early warning device to check on your tire pressure, incase that it is below the minumim it would trigger a notification that may appear as a blue light.

The sensors are programed to a computer that moniters pressure a change in pressure sends an electoric singal to the computer telling it to set the light on the dash.

The way tire pressure sensors work is there is a small monitor attached to inside of the rim. It is design to sense the amount of air pressure in each wheel. When the pressure drops the sensor wirelessly communicates with the car's computer and alerts the driver.
