Modern vehicles come with Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems <\/a>(TPMS) with a tire pressure sensor on each tire. And, occasionally, they need to be calibrated. We’ll explain the importance of your TPMS sensors and how to calibrate them so you always know you’re driving safely with the proper air pressure. Let’s take the two most popular Honda models as an example.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

What does my tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Keeping your tires at the correct air pressure is important for safe and economical driving. If your tires begin to lose pressure, handling can become unpredictable, and you’re more likely to get into an accident. Plus, low pressure can really affect your fuel economy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your tire pressure monitoring system constantly checks your vehicle’s tire pressure, ensuring that all your tires remain at the recommended levels for safe driving. The TPMS uses sensors on each wheel that measure the pressure of your tires. If the pressure drops so that your tire becomes significantly under-inflated, the TPMS tire pressure light on your dashboard will come on, letting you know that you need to fill the tire with air and get it checked for a possible puncture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is really important as proper tire pressure is essential for fuel efficiency, tire lifespan, and, most importantly, safety. As it always monitors your air pressure, the tire pressure monitor system helps you avoid unexpected blowouts, uneven tire wear, and unpredictable handling.<\/p>\n\n\n
