ABSTRACT:
A tire diagnostic system and method for detecting an inflation condition of a pneumatic tire on an automotive vehicle includes a method for estimating the inevitable pressure loss of the tire. The method creates the estimate based on a combination of a time since the tire was last set to a nominal value and an operating condition of the vehicle. For example, the estimate can be based on a combination of time and distance traveled since the tire was last set to a nominal value.
