Servicing TPMSIf your vehicle’s instrument panel includes this symbol
it is equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System.
What is TPMS?A Tire Pressure Monitoring System continually monitors a vehicle’s tire pressure and notifies the driver if pressure falls 25% below the required inflation. Information is sent via radio frequency from a tire mounted transmitter to a vehicle’s ECM (Electronic Control Module). All 2008 and newer model year vehicles manufactured for sale in the U.S. have TPMS. Vehicles older than 2008 may have TPMS.
vehicles equipped with TPMS will require service when: }SOLiD LigHT
}Indicates low tire pressure}A diagnostic test will be done to determine which tire or tires are below the recommended tire pressure}Tires will be inspected and inflated to the recommended tire pressure WARNING: Tire Pressure Affects Handling According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), nearly 250,000 accidents occurin the U.S. per year due to low tire pressure.
