Easy to Operate
The Dana Tire Pressure Control System (TPCS) is an incredibly simple system to operate. All
commands to adjust tire pressures are controlled by the driver from an easy-to-use-dash-
mounted operator control panel. The driver simply selects the desired mode with the touch of a
button and the Dana TPCS does the rest, adjusting tire pressures to match the road surface. Indi-
cators on the control panel tell the driver what’s happening.
Designed for Safe Operation
A built-in indicator warns the driver when he is traveling too fast for selected tire pressures, and
the system logic automatically selects the appropriate pressure if the speed is not reduced. A
warning icon also tells the driver to check his tires if the system senses conditions which may
indicate tire damage. A pressure switch acts as an electronic brake priority switch to prevent the
Dana TPCS from using air until the brake system is fully charged. Brakes always have priority.
The Right Pressure for Every Mode of Operation
With its two modes of operation (Loaded/Unloaded) and three terrain settings, you get six pres-
sures from which to effectively operate across a wide variety of terrain. “Highway” mode allows
for high speed travel on paved surfaces, “off Highway” permits operation on secondary roads,
and “Emergency” provides extremely low tire pressures to help free a stuck vehicle, or take on
grades that previously were impossible to negotiate without assistance. Plus, the Dana TPCS has
various digital display codes that report when a problem exists, and exactly what the problem is
so you know just what to do to correct the situation.
