Abstract
An apparatus for monitoring a tire pressure includes a controller configured to determine whether vehicle state information and tire information satisfy a reference condition when a reset button of a tire pressure is operated, detect the tire pressure when the vehicle state information and the tire information satisfy the reference condition, and reset the tire pressure when the tire pressure is within a reference pressure range.
Claims19
A tire pressure monitoring apparatus comprising a controller configured to:
- determine whether vehicle state information and tire information satisfy a reference condition when a reset button of a tire pressure is operated,
- detect the tire pressure when the vehicle state information and the tire information satisfy the reference condition,
- reset the tire pressure when the tire pressure is within a reference pressure range;
- and
- wherein the controller is configured to:
- determine state information on a brake pedal and a gear stage of a vehicle;
- and
- determine that the vehicle state information satisfies a first reference condition when the brake pedal is pressed and the gear stage is engaged at a parking (P) stage.
A the pressure monitoring method comprising steps of:
- determining whether vehicle state information and tire information input by a user satisfy a reference condition when a reset button of a tire pressure is operated;
- detecting the tire pressure when the reference condition is satisfied;
- resetting the tire pressure when the tire pressure is within a reference pressure range;
- outputting an alarm when the tire pressure is not within the reference pressure range;
- and
- wherein the step of determining whether vehicle state information and tire information input by a user satisfy a reference condition comprises:
- determining state information about a brake pedal and a gear stage of a vehicle;
- and determining that the vehicle state information satisfies a first reference condition when the brake pedal is pressed and the gear stage is engaged at a parking (P) stage.
