Subaru Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Information From Shingle Springs Subaru

One of the most overlooked, yet most important, safety components of your Subaru is the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). Since the 2012 model year, all Subaru vehicles feature TPMS. At Shingle Springs Subaru, we know your Subaru best, especially the TPMS. When you have the tires on your Subaru replaced, the TPMS should be reinstalled or replaced at the same time, so it pays to have this performed by a factory-trained Subaru technician for the best results.

Why is the Tire Pressure Monitoring System Important?

Making sure that your tires are properly inflated is integral to maintaining both handling and control. Improperly inflated tires can be dangerous and the TPMS in your Subaru is designed to alert you if your tires need attention. If the TPMS detects that your tires are improperly inflated, a warning light will illuminate on the dash panel of your Subaru. When this happens, you should take action right away.

How Often Should I Worry About the Tire Pressure Monitoring System?

Each tire equipped with TPMS has a transmitter with a tire pressure sensor inside the air valve stem. Each sensor contains a battery that should last 10 years or 100,000 miles. The TPMS is required to be re-installed or replaced when you have your tires replaced. If the TPMS warning light flashes rapidly when you turn your vehicle on, a problem has been detected with the system, so you should have your Subaru inspected as soon as possible.
