Modern vehicles are fitted with TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) sensors that constantly monitor the pressure in your tyres. If the pressure drops below a safe level, the system alerts you with a warning light on your dashboard.

 

It’s a simple system that plays a big role in keeping you safe, improving fuel efficiency, and protecting your tyres from premature wear. However, TPMS sensors don’t last forever.

 

Over time the internal battery inside the sensor can fail, the valve can become damaged, or the sensor itself can stop communicating with the vehicle. When this happens, the TPMS warning light will remain on even if your tyre pressures are correct.

 

At AutoBay Car & Commercial, we can quickly diagnose TPMS faults and replace faulty sensors to get your system working properly again.

Why TPMS matters

Driving with incorrect tyre pressure can lead to:
