Your Hyundai’s tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensor is a small electronic device that measures how much pressure is in your tires. However, these sensors do need to be replaced roughly every 5 to 10 years when the device’s internal battery dies out. That being said, there are other reasons you might need to get your Hyundai’s TPMS sensor replaced, which is precisely why our service team at Calgary Hyundai offers a TPMS Sensor Replacement service for when you need your Hyundai tire pressure sensor reset or replaced.

What Does a Hyundai TPMS Sensor Replacement Service Entail?
When you come to see our trained technicians at Calgary Hyundai for a Hyundai TPMS Sensor Replacement Service, you can rest assured that by the time you drive away your sensors will be fully functioning once more thanks to the following steps:
- Removing and Deflating the Tire
- Breaking the Bead (to Access the Sensor Behind the Valve Stem)
- Unfastening the Old Sensor
- Installing the New Sensor and Valve (with Lubrication for the Rubber to Ensure a Good Seal)
- Reseating and Reflating the Tire
While you can do a Hyundai TPMS sensor replacement at home, it requires a lot of special tools and expertise, so trust our trained technicians to do it for you while you wait.
When to Consider Hyundai TPMS Sensor Replacement
If you think that it might be time to get your Hyundai tire pressure sensor reset, or that your Hyundai TPMS sensor needs replacing, consider if the following is true of your current sensors:
- Your sensors are 5 to 10 years old
- One of your sensors has failed (it’s best to replace sensors as a set)
- Your sensors have been damaged (from potholes or other road hazards)
- It’s time to get your tires changed (getting your sensors replaced while having your tires changed or balanced can be an easy additional step for trained technicians to do)
