TPMS Service Questions
What does the TPMS warning light mean?
The TPMS light indicates that one or more of your tyres has pressure significantly below the recommended level, or there's a fault with the monitoring system itself. A solid light usually means low pressure, while a flashing light often indicates a system malfunction.
How long do TPMS sensors last?
TPMS sensors typically last 5-10 years, depending on driving conditions and sensor quality. The internal batteries cannot be replaced, so the entire sensor needs replacement when the battery fails.
Can I drive with the TPMS light on?
While you can drive with the light on, you should check your tyre pressures immediately and have the system diagnosed promptly. The TPMS is an important safety feature that helps prevent tyre blowouts and improves fuel efficiency.
Do I need TPMS sensors on aftermarket wheels?
Yes, if your vehicle was originally equipped with TPMS, sensors are required by law to maintain the system's function. We can transfer existing sensors or install new ones when fitting aftermarket wheels.
How much does TPMS sensor replacement cost?
Costs vary depending on your vehicle and sensor type. We'll provide a clear quote after diagnosing the system. Often, replacing faulty sensors is more cost-effective than dealing with potential tyre damage from undetected pressure loss.
Can TPMS sensors be repaired?
TPMS sensors typically cannot be repaired as they're sealed units with internal batteries. When sensors fail, replacement is usually the only option. However, sometimes issues are caused by valve stems or programming, which can be corrected without replacing the sensor.
