Yeah, TPMS and the way its implemented is a BAD idea.
1. Data is not signed.
So data can be easily spoofed and jam up the real sensor's transmissions.
2. Serial number is not obfuscated or in a reduced serial number set.
This allows TPMS trackers to be placed at high vehicle through areas and uniquely track cars. Is dying out due to Flock and ALPRs.
3. Some cars, primarily luxury, will force slow you down to 15mph, honk horns, and go into limp mode.
Note this is trusting unencrypted, unsigned, cleartext data. This is a terrible idea, and you cant turn it off.

- potato3732842 1y agoTPMS data is "questionable" enough already that no OEM is using it's sudden disappearance as a key do to anything drastic. I can see them doing it if the data goes from good to bad and then the bad persists over a key off cycle though.
- mystraline 1y agoIts not disappearance. Look at what happens if you spoof and spam a 0kPa event on various cars. Some show a tpms warning. Some luxury ones do limp mode.
- psunavy03 1y agoThis is no different than the internet, really. "Hey, we made this thing to operate in a safe environment." Years later: "Oh, crap, what do you mean it needs to be secured?"

- mystraline 1y agoAh, the new AI insult. Nah, I'm not providing exploit code to something unpatchable. But if you use a rtlsdr, read, decode, modify, and then use a Hackrf to generate the waveform... Yeah, it works. No ai. No hallucination. Just good at signals.
- Liftyee 1y agoA link to any article/manual/reference about this vehicle response to low tire pressure would be enough... if it exists, surely the manufacturers would have documented it.

Its all how a blowout report is handled by the ECU. I know my cars, Toyotas Prius 2013 and rav4 2017 only do the light. No limp mode. Ive tested it on a friends Benz, and that one gets positively rude. Limp mode, cabin buzzer, console blinking lights.
