There are actually two different general categories of TPMS. The oldest 
simplest and least-accurate is the sort where when the tire pressure drops 
to some preset level it sends a notification to the computer saying, in 
general, "hey, one of the tires is low". There is no indication of how low 
or which tire. The more modern sort found on fully-optioned Subies is 
pretty precise and will display what the pressure is in each tire 
continuously and will even detect the difference in pressure between the 
tires on the sunny side of the cart from the shady side. I've checked mine 
against a known-precise tire gauge (two actually, on digital one analog) 
and find a virtually precise match.
