Kia Tire Pressure Monitoring System

Tire Pressure Monitoring System Service at Roper Kia in Joplin, MO

Nothing stops you in your tracks faster than a seriously low or flat tire. In addition to being a nuisance, low tires are also a driving hazard for both yourself and other vehicles on the highway. Since the mid-2000s, a tire pressure monitoring system has been standard on new vehicles. The system uses a network of TPMS sensors to monitor tire pressure. When a tire is low, the sensors send information to the vehicle's computer to create an alert in the dash panel. At Roper Kia in Joplin, we are here to help with all your tire and tire-related issues.

Kia Tire Pressure Monitoring System

Each tire has one TPMS sensor located in the tire near the rim. This sensor consistently monitors the air pressure in your tires, and when low pressure is detected, your car's computer generates an alert on the dash panel of your vehicle. For more robust notification systems, additional information in your menu system specifies which tire is generating the signal and the air pressure of that tire.

Kia TPMS Common Issues

With the TPMS, a variety of situations can cause either a short-term blip in your data or the need for repair. A short-term blip is usually caused by a real dip in tire pressure that is quickly corrected, such as a drop in pressure related to cold weather. Long-term complications include a dead battery in the TPMS or a corroded or otherwise damaged sensor.

TPMS Service Intervals for your Kia

If your tire light is on, always use an air pump to check your inflation level and verify your air levels. You can also visit a service center to have the tires checked. When your tire pressure is OK, but the TPMS is indicating low tires, you need service. If you receive an alternate indication for the TPMS system, such as an out sensor, you also need service.
