Frequently Asked Questions
What is the process for TPMS service?
Our technicians use a professional handheld scanner to check the signal and battery life of each individual sensor in your wheels. We identify the specific failing unit and determine if it needs a simple reset or a full replacement. Once the repair is done, we calibrate the system to your car’s computer so the dashboard light stays off.
Why is the tire pressure light still on after adding air?
If the light remains on after your tires are properly inflated, you likely have a dead sensor battery or a broken internal component. Many vehicles also require a specific driving procedure or a professional reset tool to clear the error from the computer. Our Claymont shop has the technology needed to diagnose the exact cause and fix it properly.
How long do tire pressure sensors typically last?
Most TPMS sensors have internal batteries that last between five and ten years. When these batteries fail, the sensor can no longer send data to your dashboard, causing a warning light. Changes in Delaware weather can also impact sensor performance. We recommend a system check at our Philadelphia Pike location if your vehicle is more than five years old.
Can a TPMS sensor be repaired or must it be replaced?
In many cases, we can replace the seal kit or the valve core if the sensor is leaking air. However, if the electronic battery or the internal circuit has failed, a full sensor replacement is necessary. Our experienced team in Claymont will always try to provide the most cost effective professional solution to keep your safety system working accurately.
Is it safe to drive with the TPMS light on?
Driving with the light on is risky because you will not be alerted if a tire actually loses pressure. This can lead to a dangerous blowout or permanent tire damage. By visiting Mighty Tire Company for a professional service, you ensure that your vehicle's primary warning system is active. This keeps you safe and helps you avoid expensive roadside repairs.
