EASY AS 1 - 2 - 3
Our 3 step solution has been developed from scratch alongside a global leader in the manufacture and supply of TPMS. With their foundation and our dedication, we’ve taken the stress out of TPMS, allowing us to deliver a solution at the fraction of dealership costs. Our customers often say they’ve purchased a complete set of our sensors, cheaper than what they were quoted for 1! This simple solution is not only perfect for replacing faulty TPMS Sensors, but also ideal for using with a second set of winter / summer wheels
STEP 1 – ORDER
Order your TPMS Sensors - Our listings are pre-defined into Make, Model and Year. Once your order has been received, we then carefully, individually and uniquely pre-programme your TPMS sensors. This is not an "off the shelf" operation. Each sensor is pre-programmed and set-up specifically for your vehicle. We’ve spent serious time, development and investment with this step to make it simple and straightforward for you.
STEP 2 – FIT
Fit your new TPMS Sensors - Any experienced Tyre Fitter will be able to carry out this service out for you. There’s nothing else that you need to do, the sensors will arrive READY TO FIT. We’ve taken the stress out of this and completed the technical coding of the sensors for you.
STEP 3 – DRIVE
DO NOT ALLOW YOUR TYRE FITTER TO ATTEMPT TO RE-CODE! Just drive your vehicle - To complete the operation, all that is needed is to drive the vehicle. Yes! It really is that easy! On average it takes around 15 minute on a steady drive to allow the new pre-programmed sensors to communicate back to the vehicle's systems. Voila! Your TPMS warning light will now be extinguish. Easy Peasy! Obviously there’s a lot more to it, but it all happens behind the scenes when the vehicle is in motion. We are more than happy to go through the finer details but it's rather long winded!
**PLEASE NOTE:- ALTHOUGH VERY RARE - SOME VEHICLE'S MAY REQUIRE AN OBD RE-LEARN - THIS MEANS THE USE OF A DIAGNOSTIC TOOL TO FORCE THE VEHICLE TO RE-LEARN A NEW TPMS SENSOR - WE ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY ASSOCIATED COSTS TO COMPLETE THIS PROCESS**
How do I know if I have a Faulty TPMS Sensor?...
The first step in any diagnostics is to ensure you actually have a TPMS problem. The TPMS light will illuminate when a tyre pressure is low. Firstly, check the pressure in your vehicle's tyres, the light should eventually go out after the low tyre has been inflated to its recommended pressure. If the light remains on after checking/inflating the tyres, or if it flashes and remains illuminated, you may require a new TPMS Sensor.
Usual causes of a TPMS Fault?...
Battery Life - Inside each TPMS sensor there is a tiny battery which has a service life - it does after all power the TPMS Sensors 24/7. As most TPMS sensors are completely sealed units, there is no way to just replace the battery. Usual lifespan of a TPMS Battery is around 5 years.
Corrosion - Due to the environment that these TPMS Sensors operate in, natural corrosion will occur over time. This will inevitably weaken the valve stem, causing it to either crack or snap! Both will result in a loss of pressure and no way to keep air inside the tyre.
Aftermarket Valve Caps - Although shiny chrome or sparkly diced valve caps may look great, they are not suitable for TPMS Valves, they will cause long term damage by seizing in place. Once seized, frustration will probably be the real culprit of the damage! Good news, all of our TPMS Sensors come with FREE TPMS Safe Nylon Valve Caps. And they’re grey…
Impact - We’re not just talking about curbing the wheels every now and then, those pesky potholes can be to blame too.
Will my car fail it's MOT?...
Since 1st January 2015, MOT Legislation states that if a vehicle dashboard has a TPMS warning light illuminated, the test will be deemed a fail. It’s a good job you’ve found us.
Will these TPMS Sensors fit my style of wheels?...
Our latest Hamaton Hybrid TPMS Sensor's have been specifically designed to cover a whole host of wheel designs. Our sensors currently fit over 95% of alloy wheels around the world. No matter the Size, Colour, Width or Spoke design you will be fine. We can also offer Silver Valve Stems for customers who have Silver rims if preferred.
Can l buy replacement components?...
When dealing with a product such as a TPMS sensors, we are aware that accidents can happen from time to time. Because of this we offer replacement Valve Stems, Valve Caps, Valve Cores and Washers. If you damage your new TPMS Sensors, you won't need to replace the whole unit again, we’ve got you covered.
What's the deal about frequency?...
With TPMS Systems, they predominantly work using two different frequencies. For the UK and Europe, the frequency used is 433Mhz. For North and South America, the frequency is lower at 315Mhz. If you own an imported vehicle, please feel free to call and we'll look into which sensor is required - we can provide both.
