TPMs reset requiring magnet, why?
(OP)
Hello everyone,
Curious to know why a magnet is required when resetting certain TPM systems. Somewhere I read it is to make the signal stronger and to notify the receiver of which wheel you are programming, another statement I read was there's a reed switch inside the sensor and the magnet closes it.
Any definitive answers?
Any definitive books on TPM systems?
Thanks everyone

I checked Bartec, but no detailed info. I am under the assumption that to get to the basics of this I would need to consult a RF signals textbook or something similar as the manufacturers service manuals are tremendously vague.
