Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - Overview: Overview
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2023 Lincoln Nautilus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The BCM uses tire pressure sensors to monitor tire pressure. The sensors use radio signals to transmit the tire pressure to the RTM. The RTM sends the information to the BCM over the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) and K-Line . The tire pressure sensors are battery operated and mounted to the valve stems. The IPC illuminates the TPMS warning indicator and the message center displays a message when a fault is present or when the tire pressure falls below the low pressure limit.
