No More Excuses

Let's face it. Most of us don't check our tire pressure regularly. First you have to bend down, then you have to unscrew those pesky valve caps, and on and on. The Intellivalve system uses wireless air valve transmitters and a dash-mounted monitor to inform you of each tire's pressure and temperature. A warning sounds if pressure is above or below recommended levels.

Intellivalve Tire-Monitor System

A recent NHTSA study found that 27% of cars and 33% of trucks and SUVs were driving on at least one underinflated tire. Improper tire pressure lowers fuel economy, decreases tire life, degrades handling, and can cause outright tire failure. PDK's new Intellivalve tire-monitor system allows drivers to quickly and easily check tire pressure from within the vehicle. The dash-mounted digital monitor receives info from each tire via wheel-mounted wireless transmitters. The monitor also delivers an audible warning if tire pressure is below or above recommended levels. The Intellivalve is available for vehicles with four, six, or even 12 wheels and is easy to install.

"The system on my '02 Chevy Trailblazer comes from Intellivalve and like most of the new direct TPMS, it incorporates four individual wireless transmitters inside a small plastic housing attached to a chrome valve stem. Tire pressure and heat readings are transmitted to a monitor inside the vehicle. This system warns you of either high or low tire pressures and temperatures. The out-of-the-box high setting is 35 psi, and the low, when warning sounds and light flashes, is 30 psi."

Tire Pressure Sensor

The Intellivalve tire pressure monitoring system is available for vehicles with four, six, or 12 wheels. The system, which consists of wireless air valve transmitters in each wheel and a digital monitor that sits on the dashboard, can instantly inform the driver of the air pressure and temperature of each tire. As an added safety feature, should tire pressure become higher or lower than recommended, an audible alarm sounds. Besides contributing to catastrophic tire failure, improperly inflated tires can also decrease tire life and fuel economy.

Among the exhibitors at the SEMA Show were two companies that offer tire monitoring devices. I was told by representatives from both companies that they will soon have receivers that can support more than the 10 tires involved in most motorhome/towed vehicle combinations.

The first is the Intellivalve from the PDK Automotive Group. The system features individual wireless transmitters that are mounted in each wheel. These transmitters send radio signals to a monitor on the motorhome's dashboard, giving the driver an instant readout of the tire pressure (0 to 200 psi) and temperature of each wheel. By warning the driver of improper tire inflation and heat issues, the device can help improve gas mileage and tire wear, as well as reduce the risk of a blowout on your towed vehicle could cause a disastrous fire.

PDK Intellivalve tire monitor

The PDK Intellivalve seems to be all knowing. From a fixed digital monitor on your vehicle’s dashboard, it can tell you the air pressure and temperature of each of your tires. It can also warn you if tire pressure is above or below recommended levels -- an important observation since under-inflated tires can lead to tire failure, lower fuel economy and decreased tire life.

The Intellivalve works via wireless air valve transmitters that sit on each wheel and send signals to the dashboard monitor that you can read without leaving your vehicle. The system is available for vehicles with four, six and 12 wheels.

"On an annual basis, J.D. Power and Associates releases its U.S. Automotive Emerging Technologies Study^SM.  The 2002 study surveyed 22,362 owners who have purchased or leased a new car or light truck in the past three years.  The study is designed to measure consumer familiarity, interest and purchase intent for emerging automotive technologies.

Among the 25 features measured in the 2002 study, nine of the top 10 most desired features are designed to enhance vehicle or occupant safety.  The low-tire-pressure monitor, an electronic sensing system that monitors the vehicle's tire pressure and alerts the driver when tire pressure is low and potentially unsafe, is the most popular feature measured."
