ContiPressureCheck® is Continental’s tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) for individual vehicles, allowing the driver to see real-time tire pressure and temperature data.
Take control of your tire data while you’re on the road. ContiPressureCheck will inform you of the real-time status of your tire pressure and temperature, allowing you to take immediate action to resolve issues. Stay safe and protect your tires with up-to-the-minute information.
If your vehicles return to the yard more frequently and you want to monitor multiple vehicles simultaneously, check out the Solutions Finder to identify the best solution for your fleet.
The ContiPressureCheck® in-cab display is mounted in the cab of the truck or bus. It delivers real-time tire temperature and pressure data to the driver in a user-friendly birds-eye view. With married trailers or buses, all wheel positions are displayed. In a drop-and-hook trailer scenario, the display will utilize Automatic Trailer Learning to display information about the trailer tires. Learn more about ATL.
The display also activates audio and visual alerts if low pressure or high temperature are detected. Default threshold settings are 10% underinflation for a low pressure warning and 20% underinflation for a very low pressure warning. However, these thresholds can be customized based on your specific needs.
Having tire data at your fingertips allows drivers to take immediate corrective actions when an issue is identified. This improves safety, protects the tire casing, and extends the life of the tire.
Wiring the display into the cab is a simple procedure which can typically be completed in just a few hours. Continental engineers or our carefully trained service partners perform the installation, along with mounting the CCU and additional antenna to the vehicle’s frame.
The tire sensor is mounted onto the inner liner of the tire in order to collect data. Unlike wheel- or valve-mounted sensors, this placement ensures accuracy of the temperature and pressure data without influence from external factors. It also protects the sensor from theft and damage, especially in the case of curbing or sidewall abrasions, which can dislodge or damage a valve-mounted sensor.
The battery-powered sensor is warrantied for 5 years*, minimizing disruptions to your tire program. It can also be reused after retreading the casing.
The same TPMS sensors form the backbone of all Continental’s Digital Tire Monitoring solutions, including our ContiConnect Yard Reader for fleet terminals, ContiPressureCheck Integrated with telematics, and ContiPressureCheck Solo Trailer TPMS. This allows systems to be used interchangeably to meet the needs of your fleet.
Sensors can be installed in your existing Continental tires by a certified dealer, or you can order intelligent tires, which arrive pre-equipped with sensors from the factory.

The Central Control Unit (CCU) is mounted to the truck, near the center of the vehicle. It reads all the tire sensors within its radius, relying on the additional antenna to extend its reach. The CCU delivers the tire pressure and temperature data to the in-cab display.
The CCU is also used to transmit information to a telematics device in ContiPressureCheck Integrated.
The additional antenna helps deliver data from the rear trailer axle to the Central Control Unit (CCU). It extends the reach of the CCU to ensure that all tire sensors on the vehicle can be read.
Continental’s Hand Held Tool is used to wirelessly program each tire sensor. It is used during the initial setup of ContiPressureCheck to assign each tire sensor to the respective wheel position of the vehicle. It is also used when tires are rotated, for example, to reassign the sensor to the new wheel position.
The Hand Held Tool can also be used to read tire temperature and pressure data from each individual sensor if needed.

“Shortly after we fitted the system, it detected a pressure loss in a tire. We were able to repair the puncture and saved the cost of a new tire, which meant that the system paid for itself in the first instance that it detected a problem.”

Automatic Trailer Learning (ATL) makes it simple to exchange trailers without the need of additional system configuration. It is an ideal solution for drop-and-hook scenarios.
Six trailer tires are detected through Automatic Trailer Learning. None of the tires have low pressure or high temperature.
Six trailer tires are detected through Automatic Trailer Learning. Two of the tires have problems: one with low pressure (6.2 bar) and one with a sensor that needs to be checked for proper adhesion.
