Tire Pressure Monitoring System Service at Suntrup Nissan in St. Louis, MO
Tire pressure monitoring systems became a consistent feature in vehicles approximately 20 years ago and serve as a warning system for tire issues, such as low pressure and other situations that point to a rapidly developing flat or need for added air. When maintained, the TPMS provides an excellent safety and practical benefit by offering early notice when you need air or tire repair. It relies on a series of sensors in the vehicle to monitor this data and notify the vehicle’s computer when the pressure threshold moves below a set number unique to your Nissan’s tires. The service department at Suntrup Nissan of St. Louis is here to help when your vehicle notifies you of a TPMS system issue or a related tire problem.

The Role of the Nissan TPMS
The sensors that provide data for your TPMS system or located in each tire on your vehicle near the rim area. Immediately after you turn on your vehicle and while you are driving, they are consistently recording air pressure and transmitting this data to the car’s computer for review. Problems with air pressure show an error on the dash panel dials or messaging area. New Nissan models feature the option to flip through your menu and review tire pressure on demand, and the menu also features more specific alerts when low pressure is indicated, such as the tire. Newer systems also trigger specific messages when a sensor is down.
Potential TPMS Problems
One of the more common problems we troubleshoot with the TPMS is the failure of one sensor. This can happen for a variety of reasons, including damage, battery depletion or corrosion. Luckily, switching out the TPMS sensor and replacing it with a new original equipment manufacturer, or OEM, option is an easy task for our certified technicians. They can also assist if it is necessary to troubleshoot incorrect warnings for low pressure or when service is needed for the tires indicated.
TPMS Service Frequency
A new tire purchase provides an excellent opportunity to have your TPMS sensors changed as the tires are already removed from your vehicle. The average lifespan of most tires also presents a great opportunity to work in a replacement before an issue can occur. Otherwise, TPMS sensors and the system will notify you of problems as they occur. If you have a newer vehicle, these error messages are very specific and advise a sensor needs to be changed and show an error for the tire with the issue. If you ever receive a message indicating low tire pressure when your pressure is adequate based on a secondary test with a tire pressure gauge, you should schedule service to troubleshoot the feature.
