ABSTRACT:
A tire diagnostic system for detecting an inflation condition of a pneumatic tire on an automotive vehicle includes a sensor cooperating with each wheel to sense a distance related parameter of each wheel and a global positioning receiver for receiving position signals from a global positioning system. A distance related parameter of the vehicle based on the position signals received from the global positioning receiver is calculated so that a desired distance related parameter of a wheel having a predetermined inflated pneumatic tire may be calculated. The system then compares each sensed distance related parameter of each wheel with the desired distance related parameter to determine whether each tire is properly inflated.
