Mobile tyres provide expert replacement and repair services for those experiencing issues involving tyre pressure monitoring systems.
TPMS sensors are installed on all modern cars to monitor the tyre pressures on the vehicle and alert you to pressure loss and under inflation.
Properly inflated tyres are essential to the safety of any vehicle and a TPMS sensor warning light will alert you to any issues before a serious incident occurs.
If your TPMS warning light is illuminated it means one of two things. One, there is low pressure in your tyres or two, there has been a system malfunction and there is a problem with your TPMS system.
Either way, you need to act. If you have double checked that your tyres are correctly inflated and the TPMS light remains on, you have a faulty TPMS sensor (or a faulty warning light).
As a primary safety feature, a TPMS light showing on your dashboard will see your vehicle automatically fail its MOT, even if there are no issues with your tyres or tyre valve.
At Mobile Tyres, our expert technicians carry everything needed to replace valve stems and any of the four sensors that make up a direct TPMS system, all at a time and place that is most convenient for you. Our Mobile fitting vans travel all across Central Scotland to your home, work, the roadside, or anywhere else, ensuring that you are safely back on the road as soon as possible.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
What is a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System?
The TPMS on your car or van does exactly what it says on the tin. It is a system that monitors your tyre pressure.
Since 2012, this feature has been mandatory on all passenger vehicles that are produced. A direct TPMS is the most common version of this system and features sensors fitted on the internal part of the valve stems used to inflate your tyres.
More advanced TPMS systems will also monitor other aspects of vehicle health and come with a high temperature warning.
With valves monitoring all four tyres, warning lights and an audio alert will trigger if your tyre is under inflated, or over inflated. The most common cause of a TPMS alert is a puncture to one or more of your tyres.
As mentioned, a TPMS light turned on is an instant MOT failure, so it is vital you act when one occurs. No matter what the cause of your TPMS problems may be, be it a puncture that requires repair, a tyre that needs to be replaced, or a new sensor that needs to be installed, we are the local experts that you need to call.
We keep fully up-to date with the most advance TMPS systems fitted on new vehicles and have the tools and technologies required to replace all forms of tyre valve stems and sensors on the move.
If your TPMS sensor comes on, and a quick top-up of your tyres doesn’t do the trick, call Mobile tyres immediately, and we will be by your side in no time at all.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
Excessive Tread Wear
Unless they are damaged by an unexpected event or a surprise malfunction occurs, TPMS sensors will only need to be replaced every 5-7 years when the internal battery begins to drain.
However, there is an ever present risk that the system may be affected due to damage to the wheel or general wear and tear. Either way, we will have a new sensor fitted and operational in no time at all.
We can replace each individual part of the tyre valve stem and TPMS sensor including the stem itself, the sensor body, the rubber seal, and the screw that hold the system in place.
If the warning light does come on, fast action is needed as not only may there be an issue with your TPMS but if the warning really is to do with low pressure in the tyres driving the vehicle is a risk and you may experience a significant drop in fuel efficiency until more air is added.
Restoring optimum pressure and it does not fall again in the near future by using the expert services of our Mobile Tyres team when you experience tyre pressure monitoring system issues will keep you moving safely along once again and save you a huge amount of money and hassle.
