"TPMS Replacement"
[ "TPMS Replacement ServiceYour cars tyre pressure monitoring system  TPMS, is a way of continuously monitoring the tyre pressure of your car every few seconds. The tyre sensors fitted in the tyres, send a feedback warning signal to the driver if there is a change in the pressure which seems to be dangerous. The tyre sensor valves are kits advance pieces which need to be replaced every 5 years to ensure the highest and safest possible performanceWhen you have a properly functioning TPMS, your safety is automatically ensured. If your TPMS is malfunctioning, get in touch with our technicians to get it repaired or replaced, whatever is requiredTypes of TPMS:Not every tyre pressure monitoring system functions in the same way. The illumination of the low tyre pressure indicator depicts the last steps in the process of either an indirect TPMS or a direct TPMS.Indirect TPMS  An indirect TPMS relies on the wheel speed sensors that the anti-lock brake system also uses. These sensors calculate the revolution rate of each wheel and later these measurements can be used by on-board computer systems to compare with each otherBased on the revolution rate of each wheels, the computer interprets the relative tyre size. When a wheel starts spinning faster than usual or expected, the computer inspects that the type is under inflated and alerts the driverDirect TPMS  Direct tyre pressure monitoring system functions on the pressure monitoring sensors within each tyre  not just the anti-lock brake system. Direct tyre pressure sensors also provide temperature readings. The direct TPMS sends all of this data to the centralized system, where its inspected and, if the tyre pressure is lower than expected, it is directly transmitted to the dashboard for the driver to get an alertAlthough the methods are different, both of these TPMS serve the same purpose and activate the same indicator light. So, its always better to have a properly functioning tyre pressure monitoring system for your safetyImportance of a TPMS for your car:Tyre pressure monitoring system comes with a number of benefits like improving the tyre performance. Here is more of it:Quickly alerts the driver when there is change in pressureImproves safety;Reduces chance of a blow-outReduces chance of accident due to low pressureMaximizes tyre life;Improves fuel efficiencyHow does a TPMS fail?There are numerous reasons because of which the tyre pressure monitoring system may cease to function. Few most common reasons are mentioned below:Physical damage  The sensors of a tyre pressure monitoring system operate in a very harsh environment of high temperatures. These forces cause harm to the transmission coils, temperature and pressure sensors.Corrosion  Corrosion also limits the life of TPMS sensors. The valve system stems of TPMS operate in salt, water and ferrous brake dust. These elements are said to be damaging a TPMS sensor over time. Hence, corrosion because of these elements can kill the sensor from inside.Dead sensor batteries  The battery life of a sensor is somewhere between 3-10 years, with 7 years being the average battery life. Battery life can vary due to the type of vehicle, how often it is used and how long the sensors are awakeWhat does our TPMS service include?Our experienced staff has a wide knowledge of how to inspect failure in the TPMS and suggest the best possible solution to you.
