Low temps can trigger Civic sensors  

The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) on the 2008-10 Honda Civic consists of four tire pressure sensors, a TPMS control unit, a low tire pressure indicator, a message indicator (Insight) and a TPMS indicator. The TPMS control unit monitors all four tires, the system, and alerts the driver if there is a large change in the tire pressure or a system problem by illuminating the appropriate indicator.

Register Endeavor sensors  

The TPMS transmitters are located on the wheel well and have a built-in tire pressure sensor (see Figure 1). The transmitter measures the tire pressure and sends the data as a radio frequency (RF) signal to the TPMS antenna. The antenna translates the RF signal and sends the translated signal to the TPMS receiver.

Serial data circuit performs Isuzu Ascender TPMS system functions  

The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) on 2006-08 Isuzu Ascenders warns the driver when a significant loss of tire pressure has occurred in any of the four tires. It allows the driver to display the individual tire pressures and their locations on the Driver Information Center (DIC) while the vehicle is being driven.

From here to Infiniti  

The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) on 2003-07 Infiniti FX35s works during driving at speeds above 20 mph, when the low tire pressure warning system receives the signal transmitted from the transmitter installed in each wheel. When the low tire pressure warning system detects low inflation pressure or another unusual symptom, the warning light in the instrument cluster comes on.

Special tools needed for the Audi Q7  

If a wheel sensor of the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) on the 2010 Audi Q7 senses a significant loss of air pressure in one or more tires, the sensor(s) sends signals (values) to the tire pressure monitoring antenna. The antenna transfers the values to the tire pressure control module.
