Automatic tire inflation monitoring system

An automatic tire inflation system comprising:

• a plurality of pressure sensors forming part of a wireless network, wherein the plurality of pressure sensors are configured to determine that an automatic tire inflation system is no longer active;
• and
• a controller, the controller managing a timing function within each of the plurality of pressure sensors to determine a pressure sensed by each of the plurality of pressure sensors at a given time,
• wherein the system is configured to receive, using the plurality of pressure sensors, an indication that an automatic tire inflation system is approaching a restart.

A method for automatic tire inflation comprising:

• providing an automatic tire inflation system (ATIS) on a vehicle;
• determining that the ATIS is inactive using a battery operated electronic sensor;
• monitoring, using the battery operated electronic sensor, the status of all tire pressures over a period of time;
• determining, using the battery operated electronic sensor, whether a rate of tire pressure reduction exceeds a first value;
• reporting, using the battery operated electronic sensor, a fault if the rate exceeds the first value;
• and
• determining, using the battery powered electronic sensor, that an automatic tire inflation system is no longer active or receiving, using the battery powered electronic sensor, an indication that an automatic tire inflation system is approaching a restart.
