Tire Pressure Monitoring System Service
Is your tire-pressure warning light on? Tim’s New & Used Tires provides TPMS service in London, Ontario to help drivers identify tire-pressure problems and potential sensor issues.
Your vehicle’s Tire Pressure Monitoring System—commonly called TPMS—is designed to alert you when one or more tires may be significantly underinflated. Correct tire pressure supports safer handling, more even tread wear and better tire performance. However, TPMS does not replace regular pressure checks with an accurate tire gauge. (Bridgestone TPMS guide)
If your TPMS light remains on after your tires have been correctly inflated, flashes when the vehicle starts, or appears following a tire change, contact our team. We can inspect the tires and help determine whether the problem involves tire pressure, a leak, a damaged sensor or a system that needs to be reset or relearned.
What Does the TPMS Warning Light Mean
A steady TPMS warning light commonly indicates that one or more tires may be underinflated. Check the pressure in all four tires using a reliable gauge and inflate them according to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications.
Use the recommended cold-tire pressure shown on the label inside the driver’s door or in the owner’s manual—not the maximum pressure printed on the tire sidewall.
If the warning light flashes when you start the vehicle and then stays illuminated, the monitoring system may have a fault that requires inspection.
Common TPMS Problems
TPMS warning lights and sensor problems can be caused by several different issues, including:
- Low tire pressure
- A puncture or slow air leak
- Changes in outdoor temperature
- A damaged or failing TPMS sensor
- A depleted sensor battery
- A sensor damaged during tire removal or installation
- A sensor that needs to be programmed or relearned
- Wheels or seasonal tire sets without compatible sensors
Because TPMS systems vary between vehicle manufacturers, the correct service will depend on your vehicle and the cause of the warning.

TPMS Sensors and Seasonal Tire Changes
TPMS sensors may need attention when tires are replaced, wheels are changed or seasonal tire sets are installed. Depending on the vehicle and system, sensors may need to be inspected, serviced, programmed or relearned so they can communicate correctly with the vehicle.
Tell us your vehicle’s year, make and model when requesting service so we can confirm the appropriate TPMS options.
Don’t Rely on the Warning Light Alone
Your TPMS is an important warning system, but it should not replace regular tire-pressure checks. A tire may be incorrectly inflated before the warning threshold is reached, and a faulty sensor may not provide a reliable warning.
Check your tire pressure at least once a month, before longer trips and whenever there is a significant temperature change. London’s cold winter weather can reduce tire pressure and trigger a warning light even when no puncture is present.
If your TPMS light remains on after your tires have been correctly inflated, flashes when the vehicle starts, or appears following a tire change, contact our team. We can inspect the tires and help determine whether the problem involves tire pressure, a leak, a damaged sensor or a system that needs to be reset or relearned.
