Stop the Warning Light.
Drive Safely.
Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) are vital for your vehicle's safety, handling, and fuel economy. Our certified technicians accurately diagnose, repair, and reprogram faulty or dead tire sensors across Brampton and Mississauga.
The TPMS Diagnostic Standard
We don't just clear the code; we locate the root cause. Using advanced electronic OBD2 scanning tools, we restore total functionality to your vehicle's safety monitoring systems.
Scan & Diagnose
We use an advanced OBD2 scanner to communicate with your car's computer, pinpointing exactly which sensor is failing, malfunctioning, or has a dead battery.
Dismount & Inspect
We carefully dismount the tire from the rim to safely access the internal TPMS valve stem and sensor module, ensuring no damage occurs to your custom alloy wheels.
Replace or Rebuild
Depending on the fault, we either install a brand-new OEM-grade sensor or rebuild the existing valve stem with fresh O-rings and cores to stop slow air leaks.
Calibrate & Sync
The tire is re-mounted, balanced, and re-installed. Finally, the new sensor is electronically synced to your vehicle's ECU to permanently clear the dashboard warning light.
Signs Your TPMS Needs Service.
A malfunctioning TPMS sensor leaves you completely unaware of rapid pressure loss, risking severe rim damage or a dangerous high-speed blowout. Look out for these critical warning signs.
- Flashing TPMS Light: If the warning icon flashes for 60 to 90 seconds when you start your car, the sensor has a dead lithium-ion battery or total system malfunction.
- Solid Dashboard Light: A solid light means one or more tires have lost at least 25% of their recommended cold placard air pressure. Immediate attention is required.
- Age of Vehicle (5+ Years): Sensor batteries are sealed internally and typically last 5 to 7 years. If your vehicle is older, these batteries will begin dying sequentially.
- Corroded Valve Stems: Road salt and harsh GTA winters can corrode aluminum valve stems, causing slow and consistent air leaks right at the rim's seal.
TPMS Service FAQs
Do I have to replace all four sensors at once?
No, we can replace a single failing unit. However, if one sensor battery has died due to age, the others are likely to follow soon. Replacing them together often saves future labor costs.
Can I reuse my sensors with new winter tires?
Yes, we can transfer your existing sensors to new rims. But for convenience, we highly recommend buying a secondary sensor set for your winter rims to avoid dismounting and reprogramming fees every season.
Will a tire patch damage my TPMS?
Not if done correctly. At ApolloGrip Tires, we carefully perform Flat Tire Repairs, ensuring the delicate electronic module inside the tire cavity is never compromised during the patching process.
