I will try letting down one tyre over the weekend and see if the Flat Tyre Monitor picks up which one. The system definitely showed me four orange tyres on Wednesday night though.
The way UK and I understand european TPM systems are monitored is by wheel/tyre diameter changes across axles, the US system runs TPM Valves which are a barstards to replace and are expensive.
The Yanks would like our system it's simpler and should in most cases show which wheel is at fault.
