Signs Your TPMS Needs Service
A malfunctioning TPMS can leave you unaware of low tire pressure, increasing the risk of uneven tire wear, poor fuel economy, and reduced handling.
You may need TPMS service if you notice:
- TPMS warning light stays on
- TPMS light flashes when starting your vehicle
- Tire pressure appears normal, but the warning light remains illuminated
- A sensor stops communicating after a tire replacement
- You've recently had new tires or wheels installed
- Your vehicle is several years old and the TPMS sensor batteries have reached the end of their lifespan
Our technicians can determine whether the problem is caused by low tire pressure, a faulty sensor, or another issue within the monitoring system.
When Is TPMS Sensor Replacement Needed?
TPMS sensors contain small batteries that eventually wear out over time. In some cases, sensors may also become damaged during tire service or from corrosion and road debris.
A tire pressure monitor sensor replacement may be recommended if:
- A sensor battery has failed
- A sensor has been damaged
- The sensor no longer communicates with the vehicle
- Corrosion prevents proper operation
- The sensor cannot be reprogrammed
If necessary, we'll change the tire pressure sensor, program the replacement sensor, and verify that your system is working correctly before you leave.
Why Tire Pressure Matters
Maintaining proper tire pressure is one of the easiest ways to improve vehicle safety and performance. Your TPMS is an important safety feature, but it should never replace regular tire pressure checks. We recommend checking your tire pressure routinely, especially during seasonal temperature changes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a TPMS?
TPMS stands for Tire Pressure Monitoring System. It uses sensors inside your wheels to monitor tire pressure and alerts you when one or more tires become underinflated.
Why is my TPMS warning light on?
The warning light may indicate low tire pressure, a damaged sensor, a dead TPMS sensor battery, or another issue with the monitoring system. A professional inspection can determine the exact cause.
How long do TPMS sensors last?
Most TPMS sensors last between 5 and 10 years, depending on driving conditions and battery life. Once the internal battery fails, the sensor typically needs to be replaced.
Can you replace just one TPMS sensor?
Yes. If only one sensor has failed, we can perform a TPMS sensor replacement, program the new sensor, and verify that the system is functioning properly.
Do TPMS sensors need to be programmed?
Yes. After replacing or installing a sensor, many vehicles require the system to be programmed or relearned so the vehicle recognizes the new sensor.
Is it safe to drive with the TPMS light on?
If the light is caused by low tire pressure, you should check your tires immediately. Driving on underinflated tires can reduce handling, increase tire wear, and create a safety hazard. If the light remains on after adjusting the tire pressure, schedule a TPMS inspection as soon as possible.
