Wheel module
The wheel modules are mounted to each wheel rim and hole. They transmit the signal of the pressure
and temperature in tire, rotating direction and wheel module ID code, etc. using the radio frequency to
the TPMS ECU.

1. OVERVIEW
A radial tire uses a cord angle of 90 degrees. That is, the cord material runs in a radial or direct line from
one bead to the other across the tread. In addition, a radial tire has a belt overwrap under the tread
surface to provide greater structural stability. The belt overwrap of a radial tire distortion while the radial
structure enables high speed driving.
Tire supports the weight of the vehicle, reduces the impact from the road and at the same time,
transmits the power to propel, brake and steer on the road. It also functions to maintain a
vessel of air.
There is wear limit mark on the tire, which protrudes as a strip shape located approximately 1.6 mm from
mark on the shoulder to let the driver find the wear mark easily. To measure the tire groove depth,
measure at any point other than the point which has a wear limit mark.
The tire is worn unevenly according to the driver's driving habit, improper servicing, low tire inflation
pressure, changed tire location, etc.
1) Structure of Tire
Tread
This thick layer of rubber provides the interface
between the tire and the road. Wear-resistant
rubber is used to protect the carcass and belt
against fractures and impacts and to deliver a
long driving life.
Shoulder
Located between the tread and sidewall, the
shoulder rubber is the thickest so that the design
must allow for the easy diffusion of heat
generated within the tire while driving.
Sidewall
The part between the shoulder and bead, the
flexible sidewall protects the carcass and
structure, pattern, manufacturing company,
product name and various characters are
indicated here. Bead
The bead attaches the tire to the rim and wraps
the end of the cord fabric. Comprised of the bead
wire, core, flipper and other parts, the bead is
generally designed to be slightly tight around the
rim so that in the case of a sudden drop in inflation
pressure, the tire will not fall off the rim.
Carcass
As the most important framework of a tire, the
entire inner layer of cord fabric is called the
carcass. The carcass acts to support air pressure,
vertical load and absorb shocks.

3) Tire Inflation Pressure (32 psi)
Proper inflation pressure Excessive inflation pressure Low inflation pressure
The contact area between the
ground and tire faces the tread
layer completely. Thus the driving
force and the braking force are
optimized, and the tire is worn out
evenly resulting in increased life.The contact area between the
ground and tire is not enough,
so the tire is worn out unevenly
and the tire is vulnerability to
outside influence.The contact area between the
ground and tire is excessive, so
a lot of heat is generated and
the tire is worn out unevenly and
abnormally.
Tread widthTread widthTread width

During driving, the rotating tire repeats deformation and restoring movement in is tread. This happens
when the tire pressure is low in high speed driving.
However, when the wheel rotating speed is fast, the tire is deformed even before it is restored to its
original shape and the trembling wave appears on the tread portion. If this symptom lasts for an
extended period of time, the tire can be blown out in a short period of time.
If the standing wave symptom occurs on the tire, rubber on the tread comes off and eventually the tire
can be blown out which is very dangerous. When driving at high speed, the inflation pressure should be
increased to decrease heat generation due to extension and contraction motion, to decrease
hydroplaning and to prevent standing wave.
To prevent this symptom, it is recommended to increase the tire pressure 10 ~ 30 % higher than the
specified pressure value in high speed driving.

2. ABNORMAL TIRE SYMPTOM
1) Standing Wave

4170-00
When the vehicle is driven on a road surface covered with water at high speed, tires do not contact with
the road surface but rotate floating on a thin film of water.
It causes brake failure, lower traction force and losing the steering performance.
To prevent this, increase the tire inflation pressure, use tires with leaf shape tread which is not worn.
However, it is a best measure to drive slowly.

3. CAUTIONS
The tire pressure values displayed on the instrument cluster are sent from the wheel modules after
the vehicle is driven for a period of time. Therefore, they are not displayed at initial start (more than
20 minutes have elapsed after ignition off). It can be displayed after 10 minutes of driving at speed of
20 km/h or higher. -
The TPMS uses a radio frequency and a high frequency band between the wheel module and the
TPMS ECU for communication.
Therefore, if the vehicle is equipped with the electronic equipment such as mobile camera monitor
or the vehicle is passing through the area with a strong electromagnetic field, the system may not
operate normally.
For the vehicle equipped with the TPMS, the TPMS warning lamp on the instrument cluster comes
on and pressure values on the EL display is displayed as bars (--) after driving for a certain period of
time if a newly installed tire is not equipped with the wheel module. -
