Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): What NJ Drivers Need to Know
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is an essential safety feature in modern vehicles. It monitors the air pressure in your tires and alerts you when it falls below a certain level. Stonehouse Fuel & Service explains why TPMS is important and what you need to know.
What is TPMS and How Does It Work?
TPMS uses sensors in each tire to measure air pressure. This data is transmitted to your vehicle's computer, which displays a warning light on your dashboard if the pressure is too low.
Why is TPMS Important?
- Safety: Underinflated tires can lead to tire failure, increasing the risk of accidents.
- Fuel Efficiency: Properly inflated tires improve fuel economy.
- Tire Life: Maintaining correct tire pressure extends the life of your tires.
What to Do When the TPMS Light Comes On
- Check Your Tire Pressure: Use a tire pressure gauge to check the pressure in each tire.
- Inflate Your Tires: Inflate your tires to the recommended pressure, which can be found on a sticker inside your driver's side door or in your owner's manual.
- Reset the TPMS: After inflating your tires, you may need to reset the TPMS. Refer to your owner's manual for instructions.
