How does it monitor the tire pressure if there is no link between pressure sensor on the wheels and the dash board warning light?

if the tire is deflated and removed from the rim, there is a small black square looking thing that is attached to where the air is inflated. This black square box is the tire pressure sensor.
Are the Bridgestone stocks directional or non-directional? I'll need to rotate soon, and so need to know whether to go across the car, or simply front-to-back. Thanks.
There are several different systems/methods of monitoring tire pressure.
I'm only familiar with my wife's Jeep. Provides a digital readout of all 4 tires. The valve stems are passive transmittors (aka Transponders)...vehicle sends a signal, stems receive/return info. Kinda like transponders in aircraft.

yep thay are directional, btw how many miles do you have on the tires, we have a system that tells us when to rotate.

Thanks--that's very helpful. I'll rotate front-to-back only. I'm pushing 16k, a 50-50 mix of city and highway, about 2k with a heavy load aboard (car handles remarkably well with 500 lbs of gear in it). I'd describe my driving as moderately aggressive.

Thanks for the post. Yes, those are the tires I've got. For tires in general, where do I look to find out whether or not they're directional?
All the directional tires I've seen have a few arrows around the sidewall to indicate the correct direction they should be rotating. They make it pretty obvious so anybody changing/rotating the tires shouldn't mess up .

Thanks for the post. Yes, those are the tires I've got. For tires in general, where do I look to find out whether or not they're directional?
Like clicq said, they can have directional arrows. I typically just look at the tread. Directional tires always direct water away from the tire like the image below. As you can see, if the tire rotation was reversed, water would go from the outside to the inside and you would hydroplane.
Thanks, everyone, for the help. I'd always assumed that directionality had to do with the design of the tire itself, rather than with the tread pattern. But if it's the tread pattern, then clearly the stock Bridgestones are non-directional.
Well, sure. My winter Bridgies are directional, so I have to remember which is which.
Actually, we have an all wheel drive VW, an all wheel drive Caliber, a Jeep and the Fit. I do have to pay attention.

ETA-
My literature from the Tire Rack has some great diagrams on tire rotation.

In the old days before steel belted radials, you could rotate from one side to the other with no problem, but now you get no benefit in doing so, front to back is fine, if you go from one side to the other you could get a steel belt separation internally and develop bumps in the tire because you are reversing the way the tire ran for X amount of miles.
