What is TPMS?

As the name suggests, the role of the TPMS is to provide a monitoring system for tire pressure. For most vehicles, the TPMS is located in the dashboard. The TPMS makes it easy and convenient for drivers to monitor the pressure in their tires. There are different tire pressure monitoring systems in vehicles, with some indicating low pressure or a sudden pressure drop. In contrast, other types of systems provide real-time pressure readings. Over-inflated or under-inflated can be dangerous for the vehicle and lead to reduced fuel economy or tire longevity.

TPMS Service at Hagerstown Kia

A warning by the TPMS could be an indicator of tire puncture or just an abnormality in the tire pressure. In some cases, the TPMS might give a temporary warning when the tires are being refilled; however, that warning should go away. There could also be malfunction issues with the TPMS requiring service. At Hagerstown Kia, we can perform diagnostic service for a malfunctioning TPMS to determine and fix the issue. The TPMS may need new seals, nuts, or just a simple reset to restore proper functioning. We can replace faulty or broken sensors of the TPMS on your vehicle.
