Re: Are TPMS readings accurate?

If the vehicle has been sitting for some length of time the TPMS defaults to updating once/hr to save the battery life. After you start driving again the system starts reporting more often after you get up to 20MPH. If you stop the system still updates at the increased rate until after it has been sitting for a while, then the rate drops back to battery save mode.
