Which of the following uses the vehicle's antilock brake system (ABS) to monitor tire pressure?
A) Indirect TPMS
B) Direct TPMS
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B
Indirect TPMS
Type of Tire Pressure Monitoring System that uses wheel speed sensors of the anti-lock brake system to monitor the relative rotational speed of the tires to infer pressure loss, rather than measuring the pressure directly.
Direct TPMS
A Tire Pressure Monitoring System that uses sensors within the tires to monitor and report the tire's pressure directly.
Antilock Brake System
A safety system that prevents the wheels from locking up during braking, ensuring that the vehicle maintains steering control.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Indirect TPMS uses the vehicle's antilock brake system (ABS) to monitor tire pressure by comparing the rotational speed of the tires. A tire with lower pressure will have a smaller diameter and thus rotate faster than tires with correct pressure, which the system can detect. Direct TPMS, on the other hand, uses pressure sensors within each tire to directly measure the tire pressure.
