Other vehicles have TPMS transmitters in each wheel that actually transmit a signal to a receiver with tire pressure status. As far as I know, the receiver on those vehicles for TPMS will be a common receiver to the remote FOB transmitter.

So, even a badly worn single tire can cause the DIC to alert you to a possible low tire inflation correct?

In theory yes, but I don't know how sensitive the system is and whether or not it would detect a difference in tire wear.
