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.
How Temperatures Affect Your Tire Pressures: The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors tire. pressure in each pneumatic tire. While driving in a normal manner, a typical passenger tire inflation pressure may. increase approximately 2 to 4 psi (14 to 28 kPA) from a cold start situation.
