Service overview

WHAT TO KNOW

TPMS alerts you to a tire-pressure problem, but it does not replace routine pressure checks. Systems may use wheel-mounted sensors or infer pressure changes from wheel-speed data. Diagnosis identifies the system type and checks actual tire pressure first.

When to have it checked

  • A tire-pressure warning stays on
  • A TPMS fault indication
  • A warning after tire or wheel work

Planning your service

Check pressure when a warning appears. Inflate to the vehicle placard specification, not the maximum number molded on the tire sidewall.

Step by step

WHAT TO EXPECT.

A typical tire pressure monitoring system visit follows these steps. The exact work depends on your vehicle and inspection findings; repairs are discussed before proceeding.

  1. Check actual pressure

    Compare tire pressures with the vehicle placard.

  2. Investigate air loss

    Check tires and valves where pressure is low.

  3. Diagnose the warning

    Assess sensors or the indirect monitoring system as applicable.

  4. Reset or relearn

    Complete the required procedure and recheck system status.
