System Structure: Wheels

The TPMS will not work unless TPMS type wheels are installed on the vehicle. There are two different type wheels used. The original equipment wheels have a "TPMS" stamp (A) on the back of the wheel and counterweights (B) cast into the opposite side of the spoke to balance the weight of the tire pressure sensor (C).
