Anyone know how the tyre pressure monitor works? If there is no transponder on the wheel, how does it work out the pressure. Or does it just detect greater drag on one wheel?

Thanks all.

It works from the ABS readings - detecting the speed each wheel is rotating or something. There's a few threads about on this.
