Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS)
At AJ’s Tyres, we understand the importance of keeping your vehicle safe, efficient, and roadworthy. With over 50 years of experience in the tyre industry, we are your trusted experts for everything tyre-related, including Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS).
What is TPMS?
Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) are now standard in all vehicles manufactured since 2014. Designed to enhance safety and efficiency, TPMS uses sensor valves in each tyre to monitor pressure levels. When a drop in tyre pressure is detected—typically 6-7 PSI below the recommended level—a warning light appears on your vehicle’s dashboard to alert you. Some manufacturers have even finer tolerances to give you additional peace of mind.
Maintaining your TPMS system is essential, as faulty sensors can lead to unnoticed tyre pressure issues, increased fuel consumption, uneven tyre wear, and potential safety risks.
Common TPMS Issues
Even the best systems can experience wear and tear. Some of the most common TPMS issues we encounter include:
- Battery depletion: The more miles you drive, the faster the battery in your TPMS sensor may run out.
- Corrosion: Like traditional tyre valves, TPMS sensor stems are exposed to the elements and can corrode over time.
- Sensor faults: Damage or malfunction can lead to inaccurate readings or warning lights staying on unnecessarily.
