I can verify that a US Model 06 4.4i uses the ABS system, not TPMS. I just replaced the wheels last week and did not have the tires removed from the original to look for sensors. On the first drive with the new wheels the tire indicator came on a few miles down the road (common occurance with new wheels/tires due to slightly different diameters from stock) and was reset according to the owner's manual. If the system used actual tire pressure sensors it would not allow me to reset the warning indicator...
