TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)

**wewoy_romero** · July 10th, 2018 04:10 PM

so far so good. when installed the sensors record 1psi higher than my trusted analog tire gauge. driving around taguig to bgc for a few minutes in slow traffic, umakyat ng 1psi mga tires with the front tires going up first.

the temperature sensors are a little too sensitive for my taste pero it means it is accurate. initially sa parking before leaving, one tire was warmer by 1c. which might be true kasi yun yung naaarawan. going to bgc, the two passenger side tires are always 1-2c higher given sila yung side ng araw. akyat-baba ng akyat-baba by 1-4c every few seconds depending on how i drive. pero checking sa covered parking kanina, nagpantay na silang lahat.

yung monitor turns off after no motion for a few minutes. pag naka-detect ng motion (ex, door is opened or tinapik mo yung sasakyan), nag-oon yung monitor. never plugged it in. relied on solar power and so far palagi naman full bar yung battery indicator. sana tumagal yung battery sa sensor.

user's manual is very hard to understand. ang liit ng sulat, broken english pa. kinapa ko na lang kung paano isetup. may 2 parts lang na di ko ma-gets regarding tire pairing and kapag nag-rotate ka ng tires (might as well just rotate the sensors para di nakakalito).

di naman madaling nakawin. unless you have that wrench that comes with it or pipilitin mo, which in case, masisira mo yung sensor or yung pito.

only concern ko now: is it heavy enough to affect tire balance? sana in the future they can make it smaller para less conspicuous.

Question lang sir...

So it comes with its own wrench to remove it? Pano kung mawala mo yung wrench? At need to remove? Kelangan sirain na yung pito?

Good choice sir! Same tayo... easy to set-up...
And can be powered by solar...

You can buy the wrench sa handyman or true value... ordinary lang uung wrench...
Ganyan lang, i think long nose kaya yan...

Ah ok sir. Akala ko proprietary wrench. Generic naman pala. So walang problema. Got it!

Only way to find out is to run the car at high speed. Kapag nanginig that means the balance has been upset

hmm kala ko kaya may wrench para hindi manakaw, pero kung generic and madali mabili, ibig sabihin kahit sinong may wrench na ganyan pwede kunin yung tpms? hehe

Yun rin akala ko. Kahit plais kaya ikutin kung gusto.

Yes pero hindi nila basta2 magagamit kasi need din ang receiver... it will just somehow make harder for magnanakaw to steal the tire cap... kaya advise ko din park sa safe na lugar...

Hi. New to the forums here. I have a set of stock TPMS from my Mitsubishi Pajero 2014. After tire rotation at a gas station, the TPMS monitor onscreen went blank as in "--.--" in all tires. How can I reset or recalibrate the TPMS? Also, I think its brand is AVT.
