At Platinum Vehicle Services we have the expertise and equipment to diagnose, replace, and reprogram tyre pressure monitoring sensors across all makes and models. Our experienced technicians understand that a working TPMS is not just a convenience but a legal requirement for MOT, and we are committed to getting your warning light off and your vehicle back on the road quickly and confidently.

Signs You May Need a Tyre Pressure Sensor Replacement

A failing TPMS sensor will usually let you know before it causes you a bigger problem. Look out for the following:

• Persistent TPMS warning light: A dashboard light that stays on even after your tyres have been correctly inflated is the most common sign of a faulty sensor.

• Intermittent warning light: A light that flickers on and off, particularly in cold weather, often points to a sensor with a dying battery.

• Incorrect pressure readings: If your dashboard shows pressures that do not match a manual gauge check, one or more sensors may be faulty.

• Warning light after a tyre change: Sensors can be damaged during tyre fitting, or a new wheel may need a sensor cloned or programmed to your vehicle.

• MOT advisory or failure: Since 2012, a non-functioning TPMS is an MOT failure on cars first registered from January 2012 onwards.

If your TPMS light is on, we recommend booking a diagnostic check as soon as possible. Driving on incorrectly inflated tyres increases fuel consumption, accelerates tyre wear, and reduces braking performance.
