TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
RECEIVER
The receiver receives the air pressure signal transmitted by the transmitter in each wheel.
LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING CONTROL UNIT
The low tire pressure warning control unit (1) reads the air pressure
signal received by the receiver, and controls the low tire pressure
warning lamp operations. It also has a judgementfunction to detect a
system malfunction.
LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LAMP
The combination meter receives tire pressure status from the low tire
pressure warning control unit using CAN communication. When a
low tire pressure condition is sensed by the low tire pressure warn-
ing control unit, the combination meter low tire pressure warning
lamp is activated.
Low Tire Pressure Warning Lamp Indication
*: Standard air pressure is for 230 kpa (2.3 kg/cm2 , 33 psi) vehicle. 1. Tire pressure receiver front 2. Tire pressure receiver rear A. Front wheel house
A. Front wheel house
