The tire air temperature is taken into account in the comparison of the current tire inflation pressure with the stored specified pressure. These values are read in by the TPM wheel sensors (A69/1, A69/2, A69/3 and A69/4) and passed on by the TPM wheel antennae (A2/44, A2/45, A2/46 and A2/47) to the TPM [RDK] control unit (N88). Furthermore, various other conditions are evaluated which are read in via CAN class B (see the following input signals via CAN).

From this the TPM [RDK] control unit (N88) calculates the limit values valid for the current tire air temperature.

If these limit values are dropped below, the TPM [RDK] control unit (N88) passes on an appropriate CAN signal to the instrument cluster (A1) depending on the pressure deviation. This CAN signal is processed in the instrument cluster (A1) and the corresponding information conveyed to the driver via the multifunction display (A1p13) (display color: yellow or red).

IMPORTANT On vehicles as of 1.10.03 the tire pressure monitor warning lamp in the instrument cluster (A1) is actuated in parallel with a red warning message. This only goes out after the system is reactivated.
