TPMS Sensor Replacement in Ashford, Middlesex (TW15)
Got a TPMS warning light on the dashboard? At Salek Tyre & Mechanic we diagnose the fault, replace failed tyre pressure sensors and reset the system so the light goes out. Because a TPMS fault is an automatic MOT failure, it's worth fixing properly and we can usually do it the same day.
What is TPMS and why it matters
TPMS stands for Tyre Pressure Monitoring System. Most cars use small battery-powered sensors inside each wheel that warn you when a tyre loses pressure. The batteries aren't replaceable they typically last around 5–10 years, after which the sensor needs replacing.
Since the rules changed, a TPMS that is faulty, missing or showing a warning is an MOT failure on any car first used from 1 January 2012. So an ignored TPMS light isn't just an annoyance it'll cost you a retest.
What our TPMS service includes
- Diagnosis: We read the system to find which sensor has failed, or whether the light is down to a flat or a simple reset.
- Sensor replacement: We supply and fit the correct sensor for your vehicle removing the tyre, replacing the sensor and refitting and balancing.
- Programming & reset: Every new sensor is programmed to your car and the system is reset or relearned so the warning light clears.
- Valve service: The valve and seal are replaced with the sensor a common cause of slow leaks.
