Ensure Your Safety on the Road with Our Onsite TPMS Repair Services
Programming - Activating
TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) programming and activation involve setting up and enabling the sensors that monitor a vehicle’s tire pressure. Programming typically refers to configuring new TPMS sensors to communicate with a specific vehicle's onboard computer—this may involve inputting the correct sensor IDs or using a TPMS tool to sync them. Activation, on the other hand, is the process of waking up or initiating the sensors so they start transmitting data, especially if they’re new or have been inactive. Both steps are crucial after installing new sensors or rotating tires to ensure accurate pressure readings and proper system functionality.
As a driver, you rely on your vehicle's tires to keep you and your passengers safe while on the road. It's crucial to be aware of your tire pressure and ensure that your vehicle's Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is functioning correctly. However, TPMS issues can be frustrating and impact your driving experience. That's why our Road Runner Mobile Tire Service team is here to provide you with reliable and efficient TPMS repair services.

What is TPMS, and how does it work?

Signs that your TPMS needs repair:

TPMS is a system in your car that monitors the air pressure in your tires. It keeps track of the tire pressure individually and sends a warning to the driver if it drops below the recommended level, ensuring that your car always runs at optimal safety levels. When the TPMS light comes on in your car, this can indicate that there's an issue with the system.
If you notice any of these signs, it's time to get your TPMS checked by our experts. Some common signs include:
- A warning light on the dashboard indicating a TPMS issue
- Issues with the valve stem or sensor
- Issues with the batteries that power the sensors
- A malfunctioning Electronic Control Unit (ECU)
