Tire Pressure Monitoring System

Low tire pressure is not only a safety issue, but it will also drastically shorten the life of a tire. Your tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), is designed to monitor the air pressure in the tires using real time pressure information. You will be alerted if the tire pressure drops to an unsafe level, usually even indicating which tire is low. Tire pressure sensors are powered by a non serviceable battery and will eventually fail when the battery dies.

The average lifespan of a tire pressure sensor is 7 to 9 years. When new tires are installed, the sensors must also be serviced or replaced.
