Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Check

What is TPMS? TPMS stands for Tire Pressure Monitoring System, which are sensors in your tires that help monitor when your tire’s air pressure is too low. Our tire technicians will test each TPMS sensor to make sure it’s working properly, then either reset the sensors or replace them.

Details

Why Your TPMS Sensor May Need Serviced
  • Your TPMS light is on and stays on
  • Your tire pressure is frequently low
  • You recently had your tires serviced, but your TPMS light was not reset

If you see an illuminated sign of a tire profile with an exclamation point in the center displaying on your dashboard, it's signaling that the air inside your tires might be low. If you see this symbol, or even if you feel your tire's air pressure is low, drop by to have one of our trained technicians check your tire pressure.

A tire pressure monitoring system is an electronic sensor mounted on the inside of each tire on your vehicle. This sensor helps to detect a significant difference in tire pressure and temperature from the vehicle's prescribed placard pressure rating. If a difference is found, your vehicle will display a visual indicator icon on the vehicle’s interior dashboard.

If you have additional questions related to your tire’s air pressure or your TPMS Sensors, contact a local store near you or make an appointment online today to speak with one of our tire technicians.

If you're unsure what the TPMS symbol means, you're not alone. In a survey of more than 1,000 drivers in the United States, 49 percent of younger drivers and 39 percent of all drivers were unable to identify the TPMS warning sign. Read more on the TPMS Tire Pressure Light Study now.
