It is common on highways for trailers or self- propelled vehicles to utilize and rely on wheels which are filled with pressurized air. Such pressurized wheels are subject to loss of air pressure for a variety of reasons. This invention relates to a detection device which is secured unto an axle and near a wheel, located either on a trailer, or a self-propelled vehicle, and by its workings, able to detect when a sufficient loss of air pressure has occurred in the tire of the approximated wheel, and thereafter continuously able to alert the operator of potential danger due to the loss of air pressure. Similar detection devices would be attached near each wheel and would provide maximum detection for a vehicle or trailer. The audio and/or visual warning triggered by the detection device would indicate for the operator to quickly slow down and safely stop to give visual inspection to the pressurized tire and determine the next step of action, thereby avoiding a potential danger to lives and/or property, which can occur when an undetected loss of air pressure leads to a tire separation or other tire malfunctions while travelling on a road way.
