  • Page 7: General Information

    General Information TPMS System Review A tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is an electronic system designed to monitor the air pressure inside the pneumatic tires on various types of vehicles. TPMS report real-time tire-pressure information to the driver of the vehicle, either via a gauge, a pictogram display, or a simple low-pressure warning light.

  • Page 8: Benefits Of Tpms

    When turning the ignition OFF to ON, the TPMS tell-tale should come on, and then go off, which indicates the system is working fine. If the light stays on, there would be a pressure problem. If the light flashes, there is a system problem, which can be faulty sensors or the fact that the vehicle hasn’t learned the sensor yet.
