Medical Definition of adhesive. 1: an adhesive substance; especially : a substance (as glue, starch, paste, or mucilage) that bonds two materials together by adhering to the surface of each.
The sensors physically measure the tire pressure in each tire and report it to the vehicle's instrument cluster or a corresponding monitor. Some units also measure and alert temperatures of the tire as well. These systems can identify under-inflation in any combination, be it one tire or all, simultaneously.
Direct TPMS operates using a sensor mounted inside of each wheel on a vehicle, either valve-stem mounted (Figure 4) or band-mounted (Figure 5). These sensors take direct air pressure measurements from within the tire and communicate this information back to the vehicleâs computer system using radio frequency.f different sized wheels and/or tires are installed on the vehicle, it may be necessary to recalibrate the system. (Please contact a Sullivan Tire near you for exact vehicle specifications.). Currently, there is one significant flaw with the indirect TPMS which poses a threat to the use of this system in the future.
