Tyre Pressure Monitor Systems Isle of Wight
Tyre pressure monitoring systems are now a legal requirement on all cars built since 2014, not only are they a vital part of the safety of your car but a TPMS warning light on your dash will result in an instant MOT Failure.
Tyre pressure monitoring systems monitor the pressure in each of your tyres via a small sensor in each wheel and report back to your dash any significant changes in pressure. Common faults with these sensors range from battery failure to corrosion like a regular valve
Using our specialist TPMS diagnostic equipment we can diagnose various TPMS issues. These sensors commonly suffer from battery failure and corrosion like a regular valve however we can also see incorrectly positioned sensors.
By being able to fit aftermarket replacement sensors we can save you a fortune over getting this done at a dealership. Our price to supply and fit a sensor is less than the price you would pay just for the sensor at the main dealer.
There are lots of reasons to make sure your TPMS is working properly:
- Your safety – It isn’t always obvious that your tyres are losing pressure. TPMS alerts you almost straightaway of any pressure loss.
- It saves you money – The additional rolling resistance of an underinflated tyre means that your vehicle is less fuel efficient. In short, your engine will use more fuel and don’t forget, underinflated tyres are more likely to wear more quickly.
- It’s greener – With additional tyre rolling resistances and lower fuel economy, the cost to the environment is also higher. Pollution from your car, extra fuel being burnt and the premature end of tyre life all have a damaging effect on the environment and the air we breathe.
What is TPMS and how does it work?
TPMS, or Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, is an advanced safety feature designed to monitor the air pressure in your vehicle’s tyres in real-time. It works by utilising sensors within each tyre that constantly measure the air pressure. These sensors then transmit data to the TPMS control unit, which interprets the information and alerts the driver if any tyre’s pressure falls below the recommended levels. This real-time monitoring helps prevent under-inflation, which can contribute to improved fuel efficiency, extended tyre life, and enhanced overall vehicle safety. Wight Tyres offers expert TPMS services, including installation, maintenance, and diagnostics to ensure your system operates optimally.
Is it mandatory to have TPMS on all vehicles?
As of now, TPMS is mandatory for all new passenger vehicles registered in the UK since January 2012. This regulation aims to enhance road safety by ensuring drivers are promptly alerted to any significant loss of tyre pressure..
