RE:      Certification for GM Aftermarket ASK 315MHz TPM Sensor
         Model #:           221849-104

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The TPM Sensor is an RF transmitting device that contains an integrated tire valve stem that is mounted in the valve
hole of each of the wheel rims on the vehicle. The sensor transmits the pressure and temperature inside the tire, as
well as the battery voltage status of the transmitter. Each sensor’s unique tire identification code (ID) is also sent
with each transmission. The sensor will transmit at 315MHz periodically when the vehicle speed is ~20mph. The
vehicle speed is determined from an accelerometer that is contained within the sensor. The sensor will also transmit
data if a change in the air pressure occurs while the vehicle is stationary or in a rolling state. The transmissions from
each sensor have a random delay to ensure that RF signals from each tire will not interference due to simultaneous
transmissions. The RF transmission format is ASK (Amplitude Shift Keying) Manchester encoded at 315 MHz.
