What’s TPMS?

Let’s first understand what TPMS stands for. The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is one of the most paramount safety features of modern vehicles.

Features:

• They are engineered to evaluate the air pressure inside car tyres.
• TPMS is usually available in two types: direct systems and indirect systems.
• A direct system uses a sensor in each tyre, while an indirect system assesses wheel speed to identify pressure changes.
• Whenever the tyre pressure drops below the recommended level, the TPMS alerts you. Thus, it is beneficial in avoiding accidents caused by under-inflated tyres.

Without a TPMS reset, the system will render improper readings, thus endangering safety. If you opt for a regular TPMS reset service, the system will display accurate readings, maintaining optimal vehicle performance.
