In this video, ATEQ discusses the differences between low and high line TPMS systems.
TPMS systems are categorized as “low line” and “high line."
A low line TPMS system indicates low tire pressure with the TPMS light only. You must use a tire pressure gauge or TPMS tool to read the tire pressure of the tire. When the tire pressure underinflated by 25 percent, the light will stay on until it filled with the proper amount of air in the tire. If there is a system malfunction, the light will flash for one minute when starting your vehicle.
A high line TPMS system displays the tire pressure of each tire on the dash or instrument display. If there is a sensor malfunction, the TPMS sensor will report the location of the sensor.
A high line TPMS system is more sophisticated for a customer than a low line system, however, the low line system is used on many vehicles because of its lower cost.
