Subject field(s)
  • Wheels and Tires (Motor Vehicles and Bicycles)
  • Safety Equipment (Motor Vehicles and Bicycles)
CONT

Tire pressure monitoring systems use state-of-the-art radio and sensor technologies to continually track the pressure and temperature of each tire on the vehicle while it is in motion. Wheel mounted sensors transmit this data to an interactive display module mounted inside the vehicle. The display module alerts the driver to abnormal readings, and also includes several preset warning levels to alert the driver in advance of a total pressure loss.

Record 2 2013-09-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Electrical Equipment (Motor Vehicles)
CONT

The sensors and actuators, along with the diagnostic computer software in the on-board computer, make up what is called "the OBD system".

CONT

By the early 1980s, numerous vehicles were using electronics and on-board computers to control many of the engine's control systems, such as fuel and ignition. Vehicle manufacturers had to develop ways to diagnose problems generated by the new electronic hardware found under the hood. Thus, the first OBD systems were developed by auto manufacturers in the early 1980s as electronic systems replaced mechanical systems.

OBS

[One of the main purposes] of the OBD system is to assure proper emission control system operation for the vehicle's lifetime by monitoring emission-related components and systems for deterioration and malfunction.
