Comment please. This afternoon I drove down a country road I know well but forgot that there is one bend that has a nasty camber change half way round.  I was driving with a bit of gusto and the camber caught me and the car out. I explored the car's body roll capabilities so to speak. And its amazing road holding for a non sporty Fabia 1.2 estate.

And I also got a message that both tyres on the lean over side were low. 

I got home and checked and the car had lied to me.

Can  tyre monitoring be affected by heavy cornering forces?  It seems it can. Handbook says nowt. Or maybe the tyre monitoring will join front assist in the list of fake reporters.

This car has more quirky characteristics than any car I've had I reckon.

Thanks

The TPMS system uses ABS/speed sensors at each wheel for its information.

Each sensor sends a signal back to a computer and this compares the signals from all the wheels.

If there is any difference in signals between each wheel,

or one wheel compered to what is was doing the TPMS will warn you.

It is not unknown for the TPMS to give a false warning.

All new cars have to have a TPMS system fitted.
