Mine has valves on each tyre(colour specific)and if it loses more than a pound psi it shouts at you and the service light comes on and stays on until you rectify the darn thing.
Mainly a pain in the derrier,but I suppose quite useful, seems accurate too!
I won't mention the make cos I'll get no end of molestation and rude comments!!!!

Direct systems have a pressure/temp sensor per wheel to tell you a specific tyre is now only ??psi

Indirect systems that use the ABS reluctor rings and tell you to guess which wheel needs air  ;D ;D

Since TD posted this, my tyre pressure monitoring system has been all over the place, even after a run it shows the incorrect tyre pressures, and constantly warns me that they are not equal on the same axle.

I blame Taxi Driver >:( ;)

It's all this driving at 45 MPH. You need to slow down a little so the tyres can cool off. ::)

S'not my fault  :o

Perhaps you should try filling them with nitrogen custard, to see if that helps maintain equal pressure  :)

It is your fault for raising the thread, everything was fine till then ;)

Tyres - checked with 3 different gauges read :-

Front 32 Back 34.

Display read ( after a good run) Front 25 left 26 right, Back 29 left, 28 right.

So you see, it is your fault :D

Ah ok... stop driving along the cats eyes then :y

The right hand tyres are obviously experiencing extra loads, creating higher tyre temps leading to higher pressures. Doubtless Cem will be along shortly to explain why :y
