TPMS Service

The Basics Behind TPMS Repair Services at Tire World Auto Repair

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) measures the air pressure in your tires and alerts you whenever levels fall outside the safe range. There are two main types of TPMS—direct and indirect. A direct TPMS collects data from pressure sensors located inside each tire, while an indirect TPMS estimates tire pressure by analyzing wheel speed data. Driving with improper tire pressure creates serious safety risks. Overinflated tires may bounce on the road and lose grip, while underinflated tires generate excess heat, wear down quickly, and can eventually cause tread damage, blowouts, or accidents. To avoid these hazards, we encourage drivers to monitor their TPMS closely and take action whenever a warning appears.

Description of Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Underinflated tires can compromise both the handling of your vehicle and the safety of everyone inside. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System plays a vital role in preventing these issues by helping maintain proper traction, reducing tire wear, shortening braking distances, and boosting fuel efficiency. Today, vehicles use one of two types of TPMS—Direct or Indirect. Direct TPMS units send data from internal tire sensors to your vehicle’s computer, while Indirect TPMS systems use wheel speed readings through the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) to estimate pressure. As tire pressure decreases, the rolling distance shortens and wheel speed increases, which the system detects. To achieve peak performance and safety, TPMS units require routine servicing, which is why modern vehicles are all required to have them installed.
