What Is TPMS?
TPMS stands for Tire Pressure Monitoring System.
This system monitors tire pressure and alerts drivers when one or more tires fall below the recommended pressure level.
Most modern vehicles are equipped with TPMS sensors located inside each wheel.

Temperature changes and natural air loss can cause pressure to drop.
