ABSTRACT:
A tire monitor for a vehicle includes a sensor disposed in the tire, a power supply connecting a first and second ends of the sensor, the power supply applying a predetermined effort across the first and second ends and causing a flow through the sensor, a meter disposed operably to the sensor to measure the flow and output a value substantially proportional to the flow, and a transmitter disposed operably to the meter to transmit the value to a vehicle information system, wherein the flow is reduced by a damage to the tire.
