Active Safety System
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Type
A TPMS is an electronic system designed to monitor the air pressure inside the pneumatic tires on various types of vehicles. TPMS can be divided into two different types - direct and indirect. Direct TPMS employ pressure sensors on each wheel, either internal or external. The sensors physically measure the tire pressure in each tire and report it to the vehicle's instrument cluster or a corresponding monitor. Indirect TPMS does not use physical pressure sensors but measure air pressures by monitoring individual wheel rotational speeds and other signals available outside of the tire itself.

Was about to buy a used 2016 Camry but decided to get the badvin report first. Turns out the car had been in a serious crash and was declared a total loss by insurance, even tho carfax showed it as clean! Dodged a bullet on that one. ty badvin

I always rely on badvin to check out any used car before I buy. It gives such a complete history, including past accidents, service records, recalls and much more. Feel so much more confident as a used car shopper having this info.

I almost bought a used Honda but luckily checked the BadVin report first. Turned out it had a salvage title from flood damage that the seller didn't disclose. Phew, dodged a huge issue!
