TPMS Service Video

A Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)light should not be ignored. If the light stays on after you add air, there may be a slow leak, a bad sensor, or a system issue. A TPMS light that stays on can mean low tire pressure, a slow leak, a bad sensor, or a sensor that needs programming.

The system uses sensors inside the wheels to read tire pressure. When one tire gets too low, the light turns on. If the light comes back on after you add air, the tire may be losing pressure again.

Springfield weather can make tire pressure change fast. Cold Ohio mornings can lower tire pressure, while warmer afternoons can raise it. Local driving around I-70, US-40, and Urbana Road can also make tire problems easier to spot.

At Zima Automotive, we do not replace sensors right away. We check all four tire pressures, inspect for leaks, look at the valve stems, and test the sensors. A technician must program the new sensor so the car can read it.

Drivers from Urbana and Mechanicsburg may visit our Springfield shop when the tire pressure light will not turn off. This is important for everyday commuters, fleet vehicles, family-sized SUVs, and vehicles imported from Europe in Clark County.

If your tire pressure light stays on, call Zima Automotive at (937) 342-3911. Check your tires or sensors with us for a thorough tire service and alignment.

For a car repair near me in Springfield, a tire leak inspection can help catch low pressure, uneven wear, or flat-tire risks early.
