Who would've thought that the humble and not-very-high-tech tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) would be identified as vulnerability gateway?

Researchers at IMDEA Networks Institute, together with European partners, have found that tire pressure sensors in modern cars can unintentionally expose drivers to tracking. Over a ten-week study, ...

Your car's tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) can fail, but you can still drive. Learn why sensors break and what to do when they stop working.

Tire shops have turned a once simple errand into a surprisingly technical decision point: when you buy a fresh set of rubber, should you also spring for new tire pressure sensors hiding inside each ...

A TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) sensor is a device that is installed in a vehicle's tires to monitor the air pressure and temperature of the tires. The primary function of the TPMS sensor is ...

Federal regulations have required some sort of computerized tire-pressure monitoring system in new cars since the 2007 model year. Most of these are active types that employ a sensor mounted to each ...

Researchers at IMDEA Networks Institute, together with European partners, have found that tire pressure sensors in modern cars can unintentionally ...

Tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) are relatively new additions to your car’s suite of sensors. At least if you’re old enough to remember when keeping an eye on tire pressures was boasted about ...

Do tire pressure sensors use individual batteries (that may last only 10 years) rather than the car’s electrical system? Could such a battery replacement cost about $85 for each wheel? What about ...

Bf1systems has launched 1System QuickScan, a pocket-size diagnostic tool designed to give engineers and technicians immediate access to critical tire pressure monitoring system sensor data. The soluti ...

Pneuscan uses sensor technology to read the footprint of each tire that contains information about the load, profile and pattern of the tire. Ventech USA has developed Pneuscan, a system for reading ...

When the tire pressure light in your car comes on, you need to inflate your tires. Here's what to do if it stays on even after you do that.
