Question

all of the following statements about a tire pressure monitoring system are true except:
○ a. it is often referred to as a tpms.
○ b. it uses a warning light as a driver warning.
○ c. it can be diagnosed with an appropriate scan tool.
○ d. it can automatically stop a leak in a tire.

Explanation:

A tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is a device that monitors the air pressure inside the pneumatic tires on various types of vehicles. It is often referred to as TPMS (so option a is true). It typically uses a warning light to alert the driver when there is an issue with tire pressure (so option b is true). It can be diagnosed with an appropriate scan tool (so option c is true). However, it cannot automatically stop a leak in a tire. Its function is to monitor and alert, not to repair.

Answer:

d. It can automatically stop a leak in a tire.
