Scope
This SAE Recommended Practice defines the system and component functions, measurement metrics, and testing methodologies for evaluating the functionality and performance of ground vehicle tire pressure maintenance (ATIS) systems (systems which automatically restore the inflation pressure to its specified level), and recommended maintenance practices for these systems within the known operating environments.
These systems are recommended to address all serviceable tires as originally installed on a vehicle by the OEM and/or specialty vehicle manufacturer, and for the aftermarket (including replacement or spare parts) are recommended (but optional) to address all tire/rim combinations installed after initial vehicle sale or in-use dates.
This document is applicable to all axle and all wheel combinations for the following vehicle types - single unit powered vehicles exceeding 7257 kg (16 000 lb) gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), and multi-unit vehicle combinations, up to three towed units, which use an SAE J560 connector for power and/or communication, or equivalent successor connector technology. For combination vehicles including two or more trailers, the dolly axles are also included. The included vehicles can be newly manufactured vehicles or existing vehicles, fitted with air or hydraulic braking systems.
SPECIAL NOTE: Equipment known as ‘dual tire equalizers’ are commonly used with this category of vehicles. When employing an ATIS system, dual tire equalizers systems are not recommended as they run counter to the purpose of the maintenance system.
NOTE: The following systems are not being addressed in this edition of the subject document.

The management system types and more mature/complex versions of maintenance and management types, to include on-board reporting/storage/retrieval data/control capabilities, will be addressed separately by future changes/additions to this document series.

Tire pressure monitoring systems - These systems have been addressed under SAE J2848-1.
Rationale
Today the world of mobility is served extensively by tires which are pneumatic in design. To function correctly these tire designs need pneumatic pressure to derive their performance characteristics - optimum tread wear, fuel economy, ride quality, or fatigue life - hence the value of keeping the retained pressure at design levels ranks high.
While periodic inspection and the periodic action of adjusting the inflation pressure while a vehicle is at rest has been the norm for maintaining pressure, the need to hold tire inflation pressures closer to their design targets over time, even while operating a vehicle on the open road at highway speeds, becomes apparent. The minimum performance capabilities recommended in the following document support these needs.
Within the medium and heavy-duty vehicle industry, the equipment supplier community has responded to the need to maintain inflation pressure, by developing various tire pressure systems which automatically re-inflate the tire/wheel assemblies even while operating on the highway. Because these systems do not require any intervention or action by the operator, operators will eventually come to rely upon these systems to maintain tire inflation pressure. It is therefore important that all marketed systems provide an adequate level of performance to assure continued in-service safety.
Tires and wheels are integral components of tire pressure systems. The system attributes for tire pressure systems described herein assume an appropriate fitment of tire and wheel for each application, and that these tire pressure systems are not dependent on the performance or physical characteristics of the tire or wheel components. The substitution of one tire/wheel assembly for another tire/wheel assembly of another configuration, appropriate for the vehicle system, shall not render the tire pressure system inoperative, so long as it provides a pneumatic chamber for the inflation gas.
Under SAE document J2848-1, the system functions and performance expectations for tire pressure monitoring systems have been established. The subject document (SAE J2848-2) addresses tire pressure maintenance systems for which it is essential that the performance and communications to the driver be consistent with that established for tire pressure monitoring systems (see Figure 1).
While tire pressure maintenance systems do not relieve the driver of his immediate responsibility to take the recommended maintenance action, these systems must still keep the driver informed of the status of the pressure level and make him aware when the system applied is no longer performing its intended function.
This document incorporates the attributes of pressure maintenance systems into the management of tire inflation pressure while retaining the alerts and warnings so vitally important to the driver.

Issuing Committee
The Tire Committee is organized under the SAE Truck-Bus Council Total Vehicle Steering Committee and has the responsibility to initiate, develop, review and approve the SAE Technical Reports (Standards, Recommended Practices, and Information Reports) related to tires used on medium- and heavy-duty trucks and buses with GVWRs greater than 10,000 lbs. Such vehicles include vans, utility vehicles, trucks, truck tractor combinations, trailers and buses. This scope of work is done on behalf of the Total Vehicle Steering Committee, SAE Truck-Bus Council, the Technical Standards Board, and to serve the best interests of the public.The Tire Committee provides the support, review, and approval of the work of the following tire sub-committees and task forces: Truck Tire Characterization and Military Industry Tire
