Abstract
A pressure monitoring system () for a tire () of an automotive vehicle includes a first pressure sensor () coupled to the wheel, a pressure transmitter () coupled to the pressure sensor () whereby the transmitter generates a pressure signal. A controller () is coupled to the pressure transmitter. The controller () receives the pressure signal and in a first stage, compares the pressure signal to a pressure threshold to obtain a sensor status. In a second stage, the controller () qualifies the sensor status signal by generating a warning status in response to the sensor status.
