TPM System or TPMS stands for “Tire Pressure Monitoring System”. This system is responsible for altering the driver of a vehicle if one or more tires are improperly inflated. The TPM system was installed in tires to keep drivers from driving on under or over­ inflated tires because this can cause other problems with a vehicle. The TPM system is attached to the valve stem and needs professional installation and replacement.

Little-known facts about TPM systems

There are two different types of TPM systems that come standard; direct and indirect. Both systems will trigger a dash­light when tires are over or under-inflated. This TPM system is located in the anti­lock brake system and speed sensors.

Resetting the TPM system

  • Determine System: Direct and indirect systems have different TPMS reset protocols. Many direct systems have a reset button built into the dashboard or it can easily be found by looking through the vehicle’s owner’s manual. Indirect systems have a much more complicated system.
  • Tires should be manually checked with a tire gauge and checked against manufacturer guidelines.
  • Inflate or deflate as necessary.
  • Tire pressure sensors will need to be recalibrated after the process. This should only be completed by a professional.
  • Completing a TPM system reset should always be done by a qualified professional who has worked with both direct and indirect TPM systems.
