Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Module 

The TPM module is a radio receiver that collects the tire air pressure data from the TPMS tire pressure sensors.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor 

WARNING: The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensor battery may release hazardous chemicals if exposed to extreme mechanical damage. If these chemicals contact the skin or eyes, flush immediately with water for a minimum of 15 minutes and get prompt medical attention. If any part of the battery is swallowed, contact a physician immediately. When disposing of TPMS sensors, follow the correct procedures for hazardous material disposal. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

The four TPMS tire pressure sensors each contain a battery, a tire pressure sensor, and a radio transmitter. The TPMS sensor radio transmissions are sent approximately once every 60 seconds when the vehicle speed exceeds 32.2 kmh (20 mph).
