Here is an explanation of how uindirect TPMS works using ABS. It is one of those low-tech solutions, that works better than the hi-tech options in the real world. When the Touareg first came out with direct TPMS my phone would ring off the hook every time it dipped below -20c like clock work, with customers that had their tire light coming on.

So in Canada this is the better solution. It's less sensitive, but still highly effective.
