TPMS Sensors in Whitecourt

Tire pressure monitoring (TPMS) sensor replacement, programming and warning-light diagnosis in Whitecourt.

Michelin says tires lose about 1 psi for every 10 °F (5.6 °C) drop in temperature. A tire set in a warm garage loses several psi on a −16 °C Whitecourt January night (Environment Canada 1991–2020 normals), which is often enough to turn on the low-pressure light.

If the light stays on after the pressure is corrected, or it flashes, a sensor may have failed. On most sensors the battery can't be replaced on its own, so the whole sensor is changed and programmed to the vehicle.

A second set of rims for winter tires needs its own sensors if you want the warning system to work all year. Sensors may need a relearn after a changeover.

Common jobs

• TPMS warning light diagnosis
• Sensor replacement and programming
• Sensors for a second set of rims

Have this ready when you call

• Year, make and model of the vehicle
• Whether the light is steady or flashing, and whether it stays on after topping up
• Whether you have a second set of rims with sensors
