New car models are becoming safer and more reliable systems equipped with various complexes for ease of use. One of such complexes providing additional safety during operation various types cars is to monitor tire pressure.

Sensors for new models

As we all know, maintaining exactly the right pressure in the wheels ensures the safest movement in a car, saves fuel consumption, and makes steering easier.

Some advanced models of monitoring systems can not only monitor tire pressure, but also the air temperature in the chambers. In this article we will consider their main characteristics, causes of malfunctions and installation, dismantling of this system with our own hands.

Such a system can control the following parameters:

• wheel punctures;
• disassembly of a tire from a disk;
• overheating of the air in the wheel;
• air etching through the nipple;
• exceeding the maximum permissible loads on tires.

Pressure control system in tires Creta monitors pressure and temperature. The sensors of all wheels are combined into one common control system. All indications are processed in the block electronic control ECU. It is included in the factory on-board computer. All information is displayed on the car display. In more advanced configurations, this data can be duplicated by light signaling and data transmission to a mobile phone.

If there are no pressure sensors installed in the factory equipment of the car, you can install them yourself, and place the control unit in the cabin, see the photo for more details. Communication between the sensors and the control unit takes place on the 433.92 MHz band via radio transmission. When the battery is discharged, it is necessary to completely change the sensor.

Mounting sensors in the model Hyundai Creta carried out through a special adapter, which is rigidly fixed to rim. A cap is already screwed onto this device from the outside. Pressure sensors in Hyundai differ in that the control system itself can recognize which wheel the signal is coming from, that is, they do not need to be numbered.

The pressure is determined by the tire circumference measurement method. On an empty tire, one rotation of the tire is faster than on a normally inflated one. By measuring this difference, you can determine the air pressure in the tires. In addition, information is used ABS systems. Negative side such a system is that it is impossible to measure the pressure in the parking lot, since the wheel is stationary.

When a drop in tire pressure is detected, the on-board computer will issue warnings:

• in the form of a light signal about the descent of the wheel,
• emergency triangle in a malfunction in the car;
• a picture of a car with a spare tire marked.

It is not possible to turn off the pressure sensors in the car on your own, since this system is integrated into the on-board computer. If the sensors are removed from the wheels, the system will display Emergency Signal and the control unit will put the machine into service mode.

To completely disable this option, you need to contact a specialist to flash the on-board computer. Another option to bypass this system can be considered setting false information for the on-board computer about the state of the sensors. But this also requires the intervention of a specialist.

If the tire pressure sensor is on while the machine is in operation, and the wheels are in good condition, the sensor may be damaged. This can be caused by a number of reasons:

• if the wheel fell into a sufficiently deep pothole and the sensor attachment point was damaged;
• when the wheel was bent at the tire fitting, the sensor was damaged;
• the resource of the battery has expired;
• the sensor just failed.

In this case, it is not possible to replace the faulty sensor on your own, since it is necessary to re-bead the wheel, which is possible only in specialized workshops. A special tool is used to remove the sensor from the mount, and it may also be necessary to calibrate and reprogram the sensors. Therefore, there is only one way out - to go to the service station.

Hyundai Tussan is equipped with pressure sensors installed on the wheel rims. All sensors are the same. The system recognizes signals from sensors automatically and outputs information to the standard head unit. The frequency at which the sensors of this model operate is 433.0 MHz. The battery is enough according to the manufacturer's calculations for 7-8 years of operation.

When buying a car from the salon with a winter kit, or depending on the season, vice versa summer tires We recommend checking the completeness of the wheels with sensors. Often the sensors are only on one set. In this case, the operation of the car will be inconvenient due to the constant indication of a TPMS system error, this can be seen in the video.

The sensors provide pressure readings with an accuracy of 0.01 atm. When the car is parked, the sensors are in sleep mode and do not consume energy; activation occurs only while the car is moving. It is also possible to disable this system only by flashing the on-board computer. We discussed this in more detail above.

Sensor for Santa Fe

The main difference between the control system in the Hyundai Santa Fe from Creta and Tussan is that the sensors are prescribed by a special program, each in its place. Therefore, if after repairing the wheels they are interchanged, then dashboard the error symbol lights up. You can turn it off by installing the wheels in their places or by flashing the sensors at official dealer. This procedure takes five minutes and allows you to correctly specify the location of the sensors.

Santa Fe car owners complain about a common glitch in this system. It happens that an error is displayed on the display, and the wheels are all inflated evenly. To eliminate the glitch, it is necessary to pump up the problem wheel to 300 kPa, and then equalize the pressure in all tires using the pressure gauge. As a rule, such a procedure is quite enough for Santa Fe and after that the error goes away. The owners of the Hyundai Creta and Tussana did not report such errors.

In general, we can conclude that Hyundai is trying to protect car owners to the maximum with a similar tire pressure monitoring system. The lineup Solaris is also equipped with similar sensors. The system works and promptly informs the driver about the condition of the wheels. Information is updated every 60 seconds, which allows you to have the most up-to-date data.

Hyundai (Hyundai)

AT car tires with a frequency of 2 times a month, it is necessary to monitor the pressure. This will significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions, reduce fuel consumption and extend the life of the tires themselves. Do not forget about comfort, which is not pleasant when driving on overinflated tires. In the table below, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the recommended tire pressure for Hyundai cars.

Pressure in Solaris

The pressure in Hyundai Solaris cars is indicated on the door arch. Solaris tires are recommended to pump 2.2 bar, regardless of the size of the rubber. Naturally, this pressure is in cold tires, i.e. a car that has been at rest for 30 minutes. If you measure the pressure in hot tires, it will be higher than recommended for Solaris. For economical mode, it is recommended to pump tires up to 2.8 bar, this will allow, albeit slightly, but still save on fuel. Although, perhaps, and to the detriment of economy on tires.

What should be the pressure in Santa Fe

Santa Fe belongs to the class of small SUVs, so the pressure in its tires can vary significantly depending on operating conditions and installed tires. Suspension on Santa Fe is soft, so you only need to keep tires with low pressure when you need it, for example, when we drive through the forest. dirty road or you need to reduce the pressure to lower the vehicle height by 2-5 cm.

Winter tire tests:

A total of 13 models were selected for testing. winter tires, of which three are new this year. For the first time, I had the opportunity to try out the Continental IceContact 3 tires and the Velcro Blizzak Ice and Observe GSi-6 from Japanese companies Bridgestone and Toyo. Unfortunately, Michelin refused to provide its new X-Ice North at the last moment.

Dozen kit test friction tires dimension 195/65 R15 gave very interesting results! Three models are not suitable for all cars, and we do not recommend buying one at all.

We took tires from different price groups - from 2470 to 5150 rubles apiece. The latest model is the Toyo Observe GSi-6, which hit the market this season. There are two new items from last year: the German Continental VikingContact 7 and the Finnish Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3. Updated last year Pirelli Ice Zero FR Russian production.

Well, we had to come to Sweden twice. The first time we sat for a week, skated the entire test program on snow and ice. And then, already in April, on the roads that had just cleared of ice, measurements were taken stopping distance on wet and dry pavement - and appreciated the acoustic comfort and smoothness. Well, then, using the traditional system of translating results into points, they summed up the results.

In the next big test"studded" we collected six sets of 15-inch tires from Western and Eastern manufacturers. Some of the trump cards include experience and the latest technologies, while others have the will to win and affordable prices. Whose will take?

This time we have chosen one of the most popular sizes - 195/65 R15, which suits many small and inexpensive cars. Different markets, different understanding of the product, different design schools. What distinguishes tires from East and West from each other, what are their strengths and weak sides and what should the Russian buyer pay attention to?

Summer tire tests:

Recently, the size of tires in the original equipment of cars has increased significantly. The time of tires R13 175/70 for Zhiguli has gone, now the priorities are "huge bast shoes". This is due to the latest trends in the world and the increased demand for SUVs. Let's take a look at the test in which the Autoreview staff tested Tiguan's native sizes 215/65 R17 and 255/45 R19. In the first size, 6 models entered the starting grid, the second size was presented by 5 models.

Models in different sizes are different, because. most tires in large sizes are made in UHP format. These changes are dictated by sporty style large sizes wheels.

The cheaper the tires, the easier the choice? No, harder! We tested twelve sets of 185/60 R14 summer tires for the most available cars. And not only put all the participants in their places, but also found out what an attempt to save money on a purchase could result in.

Tires 185/60 R14 are bought, as a rule, by owners of Lada cars and older foreign cars. For tire manufacturers, small sizes are not of great interest due to low profitability. Worthy novelties in this segment are a rarity. However, tire manufacturers, who seriously care about the image, try from year to year to improve even though they have become familiar, but quite successful models.

experiencing summer tires size 195/65 R15 for relatively inexpensive cars and see how dramatically their characteristics have changed over the past ten years.
Nowadays, even small cheap cars roll off the conveyor on 15-inch wheels. Many Russians and quite expensive cars they put “tags” with a higher profile - they are preferable on our roads. Tire manufacturers, for which income depends more on the sizes of tires sold than on their number, are indifferent to budget dimensions. New items are offered at least in the seventeen-inch segment, and small sizes are sluggishly updated, usually slightly reducing rolling resistance.
However, there are companies for which Russian market is very important, and they literally fight for the leading positions, annually “grinding” their products, trying to get ahead of competitors in traction on dry and wet surfaces. Therefore, there is always intrigue in our tests.
