In the TREAD Act of November 1, 2000, Congress required the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to develop a rule requiring all new light vehicles to be equipped with a warning system to indicate to the operator when a tire is significantly underinflated. In response to this requirement, NHTSA undertook an evaluation of existing OEM and aftermarket tire pressure monitoring systems. In the evaluation NHTSA determined the capabilities of existing technologies and the methods of warning the driver that were under consideration by system manufacturers. Based on this evaluation, NHTSA will determine the minimum system performance criteria that are technically feasible and provide the most useful information to the driver for preventing unsafe conditions.
