When your vehicle displays the message “Check TPMS System,” it means the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is malfunctioning. The TPMS is designed to monitor tire air pressure and alert you when the pressure is too low, which could compromise safety and fuel efficiency.
This alert may indicate a variety of issues. One common cause is low tire pressure, often due to a puncture, seasonal temperature changes, or gradual air loss. It’s important to check all your tires with a pressure gauge and inflate them to the recommended levels. If the tire pressure is fine but the warning persists, the problem could lie with the TPMS sensors. These sensors are inside the tires and communicate air pressure data to the vehicle’s onboard system. They may become damaged, lose battery power, or fail due to age.
TruckX offers an advanced fleet management solution that integrates with systems like TPMS to help fleet managers monitor tire pressure in real time. Maintaining proper tire pressure improves safety, reduces tire wear, and enhances fuel efficiency. By addressing TPMS warnings promptly and using tools like TruckX’s tracking solutions, fleets can avoid downtime and costly repairs.
