TPMS Feature Brief

What is TPMS?:

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) in your vehicle monitors the tire's air pressure continuously and alerts drivers when the pressure varies from the recommended level. TPMS is primarily designed for safety purposes. Having underinflated or overinflated tires leads to a less stable ride and a higher risk of blowouts, making driving unsafe. Whenever this occurs, it will trigger an alert to the driver that the tire (or tires) needs to be inflated to the appropriate level.

How does TPMS work?:

Connecting an Azuga device to a vehicle allows it to collect on-board tire pressure data without any additional hardware. After the data is collected, Tire Matics analyzes it. When the vehicle’s tire is underinflated/overinflated by 12% or more, the driver will be alerted to reinflate it or repair it as necessary. Tire pressure issues, such as slow leak identification, can be tracked throughout your fleet. Fleet managers and drivers will receive customer alerts directly on their desktops and mobile devices.

    3. Low Pressure Resolved
  2. High Pressure Events
    1. High Pressure - Warning

Locating TPMS Events in Fleet 2.0:

The TPMS events are recorded whenever the device senses the underinflated or overinflated tires and alerts the driver about the inflation, as well as reporting the events to the Azuga server. 

Events associated with the TPMS are captured and can be seen under the following:
