The TPM [RDK] control unit realizes the following functions:

The TPM [RDK] control unit receives data telegrams via two-way radio from the following sensors:

The data telegrams contain the pressure, tire pressure temperature, individual serial number and status information (manufacturer, direction of rotation, operating mode etc.).

If a pressure loss is detected, the tire pressure monitor warning lamp (A1e66) in the instrument cluster (A1) is actuated by the TPM [RDK] control unit.

The TPM [RDK] control unit constantly monitors all input signals and output signals for faults. Detected faults that are relevant to function are entered into the fault memory.

Discrete inputs 

CAN signals 

The TPM [RDK] control unit is connected to the Control Area Network (databus/CAN Bus) (CAN) for data exchange.
