Adachi recommends that all vehicle owners, understand and adhere to the tire safety and fitment warnings, recommendations, guidelines, and instructions provided by the original equipment (OE) vehicle manufacturer, and available within the transportation industry and from the government. Specifically, before installing any sensors on a vehicle, the user should refer to and obtain an understanding of the tire safety and fitment information available in the vehicle’s owner’s manual and related materials provided with the vehicle, and that can otherwise be obtained from the OE vehicle manufacturer.

FAQ

Q

How does the new Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) work?

A
Tire pressure monitoring systems continuously monitor the pressure in the tires through sensors located in the tires (direct system) or the use of wheel speed and other vehicle sensors (indirect system). The information collected by the sensors is transmitted to an on-board processor that interprets the sensor signals and warns the driver when tire pressure is below the minimum acceptable level by illuminating a warning lamp.
Q

When will the new TPMS be available?

A
The U.S. government, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, requires that all passenger cars, light trucks and vans (Gross weight less than 10,000 pounds) be equipped with a TPMS starting in model year 2008. Due to a phase-in of the requirements, 20 percent of model year 2006 and 70 percent of model year 2007 vehicles are equipped with TPMS.
Q

What does it mean if the TPMS warning lamp illuminates?

A
When the TPMS warning lamp on the instrument panel illuminates while driving, it means that the system has detected at least one tire with a pressure below the accepted minimum psi for the vehicle. The tires should be inspected and the tire pressure checked as soon as possible. The lamp will extinguish after the tires are properly inflated.
Q

What does the TPMS warning lamp look like?

A

There are two different low tire pressure warning indicators allowed by the federal standard. One icon is the cross-section of a tire with an exclamation mark inside. The other is a top view of a car with all 4 tires exposed.


Q

Why is proper tire inflation important?

A
Proper tire inflation is essential for safe and efficient vehicle operation. Safety experts estimate that 25 percent of passenger vehicles are operated with tires that are under inflated. Vehicles with properly inflated tires experience optimum ride and handling characteristics, shorter braking distances, longer tire life, and improved fuel economy.
Q

Why TPMS Sensors need to be replaced?

A
Typically the original sensor has a service life of 8-10 years (aftermarket sensors have a relatively shorter life), and in the natural state the sensor must be replaced with a new one when the sensor life is exhausted because the built-in lithium battery is not replaceable. Sensors may also need to be replaced due to improper use or damage from loading and unloading tires when replacing tires.Also for the areas that require two sets of tires usually require extra 4 sensors.
