It does seem logical that all North American (if not worldwide) cars would have identical setups (i.e. sensors are required for TPMS to function)

Does anyone know?
I thought direct TPMS is mandatory only in US. We have indirect TPMS here in Asia and most like in Europe. Not worldwide. More like a US thing
