Tire pressure monitoring Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Under-inflated tires compromise handling, braking distance, tread life, and fuel economy. Factory Tire supports Toronto, Etobicoke, Rexdale, and nearby drivers with TPMS diagnostics, maintenance, and repair when sensors or valves need attention.
Direct TPMS
Uses sensors mounted inside the tire assembly to send pressure readings to your vehicle’s computer—precise per-wheel data you can act on quickly.
Indirect TPMS
Works with the ABS and wheel speed sensors: as pressure drops, rolling radius changes and rotational speed shifts relative to other wheels.

TPMS repair
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) tracks the amount of pressure in a vehicle’s tires and alerts a driver when pressure is outside the intended range—repair restores reliable readings and clears recurring warnings when hardware has failed.

Tires operating below inflation standards put the overall performance of your vehicle and the safety of your passengers at risk. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System helps increase your safety on the road by improving your vehicle’s maneuverability, decreasing the tread wear of your tires, reducing your vehicle’s braking distance, and improving your vehicle’s fuel economy. There are two types of Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems in existence today—Direct and Indirect. A Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring System uses sensors on the inside tire assembly to transmit tire pressure information to your vehicle’s computer. An Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring System gauges tire pressure through your vehicle’s Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) by using speed sensors to measure the rotational speed of each wheel (as tire pressure decreases, the rolling distance decreases, and the rotational speed increases). All TPMS systems require regular maintenance in order to meet maximum performance standards, which requires all vehicles to be equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System.

The Basics Behind TPMS Repair Services at Factory Tire
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) tracks the amount of pressure in tires and alerts a driver when the pressure is at an insufficient level. There are two types of tire pressure monitoring systems—direct and indirect. A direct TPMS receives information from pressure sensors inside each tire on the vehicle, while an indirect TPMS uses speed sensor data from the wheels to determine tire pressure levels. When a tire has an insufficient level of pressure, it becomes a safety hazard for various reasons. If pressure is too high, tires tend to bounce and lose traction. If pressure is too low, tires heat up quickly and wear out easily. Heat can negatively affect the tread of a tire and ultimately lead to blowouts and accidents. We recommend that drivers pay attention to the Tire Pressure Monitoring System and heed any warnings it produces.
Why Should You Have TPMS Repair Services Performed at Factory Tire?
When your TPMS alerts you to a tire pressure problem, please contact us for assistance. Our service staff is equipped with the right tools for the job. After we use our professional diagnostic tools to obtain information from your TPMS, we can help you inflate or deflate your tires until they are within the correct pressure range. We can also check that your pressure or speed sensors are working correctly. In the case that your Tire Pressure Monitoring System is simply not working at all, our service staff will determine the correct repair procedure. If you have any questions about the functionality of your TPMS, please give us a call or contact us online. We are happy to discuss your TPMS with you and look forward to sending you back out on the road with a fully operational system.
