Tire Pressure Sensor Service Video

You should not ignore a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) light. It can mean one tire is low, or that a tire pressure sensor is not working. A faulty tire pressure sensor can prevent the car from warning you when a tire has low air pressure.

Each sensor sits inside the wheel near the valve stem. It reads tire pressure and sends that data to the car. When pressure drops too low, the TPMS light turns on.

Springfield weather can make tire pressure change fast. Cold Ohio mornings can lower tire pressure. Warmer afternoons can raise it again. Local driving around I-70, US-40, and Urbana Road can also make tire issues easier to notice.

At Zima Automotive, we do not replace a sensor without first checking the system. We check tire pressure, inspect for leaks, test the warning light, and look at the valve stem. A technician must replace and program the bad sensor so the car can read it.

This is important for daily drivers, work vehicles, family SUVs, and European cars in Clark County. Drivers from Urbana and Mechanicsburg may visit our Springfield shop when the tire pressure light will not turn off.

If your tire pressure light stays on, call Zima Automotive at (937) 342-3911. Check your tire pressure system by asking about our tire services and alignments. You can also visit Zima Automotive in Springfield for clear tire help before low pressure causes bigger trouble.
