Abstract: The present invention is a remote system for indicating tire pressure for use in combination with a pressure transducer which is disposed inside a pneumatic tire. The pneumatic tire is placed on a wheel rim. The remote system includes a ferrite rod which is mechanically coupled to the pressure transducer and which is disposed within the pneumatic tire. The remote system also includes a passive circuit including a first coil which is mechanically coupled to the wheel rim, a second coil which is electromagnetically coupled to the ferrite rod, which is slidably coupled to the second coil, and a capacitor, all of which are electrically coupled in series to form a tuned circuit which resonates at a particular frequency which is dependent on the position of the ferrite rod, and a detector which detects the change in frequency at which the first circuit resonates thereby providing a measure of movement of the ferrite rod in response to the change in pressure of the pneumatic tire.
