Your article states that the Tire Pressure Monitoring System only transmitts info when car is stopped. What good are they for monitoring when a tire is going low while driving. I just purchased a $450 system for my $90,000 Momentum 351M FW to save damage of a tire going down. I’m going to send it back if this is true. Thanks, Joe ---

What article ? And not every paper has the same Car Talk column that is not carried in a large amount of newspapers. Visit the web site of the brand of system you bought or call the customer service and get reall answers to your questions. Using Google it appears that a Momentum 351 is some kind of large RV . ---

I just checked on 3 different brands/models of TPMS for trailers, the three I checked monitor tire pressure every 6 seconds. Check the model you bought, it probably does also. ---

I couldn’t find the column in the online Sac. Bee site so I don’t know which system was being discussed. As far as I know all tire pressure monitor systems operate while driving. Motion will wake up the sensors and they will transmit a signal. ---

> [@Nevada\_545](#): > > As far as I know all tire pressure monitor systems operate while driving. Motion will wake up the sensors and they will transmit a signal. As far as I know, that is typical for all car-based TPMS systems. I guess it is _possible_ that trailers or RVs might be different, but–then again–I can’t access that “artical”. > [@nbsproducts1](#): > > I’m going to send it back if this is true Is that actually possible? ---

every vehicle I have seen updates while you are driving, and you can check the pressure at any time you want. also have never heard of changing just the batteries. usually have to change the whole sensor. ---

I’ve had mine come on while driving, I think, so this seems to be an error. But other ones may only transmit when stopped, who knows? ---

I did not see where in that article that said the vehicle had to be moving… plus, you are installing an aftermarket item, not factory. ---

No aftermarket stuff added. Factory TPMS going to be installed on a Ford F350. I give up. Thanks, Joe [Next page](https://community.cartalk.com/t/friday-12-10-2021-sacramento-california-bee-cartalk-artical-tpms-only-transmitts-when-stopped/181209.md?page=2)
