Question Aftermarket TPMS monitor

After searching and reading 100 threads on how to make the light go out, I couldn't find one about doing something useful with them. So.....

Since the light is controlled by computer, and you can set the PSI where the light should go on, it reasons that the sensors are sending out actual PSI data. Does anyone make a monitor that reads this data? It sounds like it would be useful. How about any of the ODB-II readers? Is the PSI info in a standard format that can be used somewhere?

That's just it, I don't want to adjust it. I want to see the pressure data from each tire.

I have aeroforce's interceptor OBDII scan gauge. It does not read out for tire pressure but if you think TP may be an OBDII parameter, you could contact them and see if they can add the function.

i don't think the tpms differentiates between the 5 tires. it just tells if one has pressure lower than the target. That may be a limitation to having a gauge read out the data. in other words, it may be able to tell you 5 pressures but not which belongs to what tire.

But i don't really know......

The aftermarket systems have this capability. Yes people actually do buy these, very useful on an RV, especially if you’re older. As far as the OEM Jeep having all 5 tires separated but it stands to reason if you really wanted this you could buy the receiving unit for the aftermarket units and mount the display somewhere.
