Tire Pressure Monitoring System (complete explanation on pg 2)

I am assuming that the Veloster has this?

[jmhasty]

Nope. It was posted earlier today/last night.

The Canadian version doesn't have TPMS, but the US version does have TPMS..

Awesome thanks, should have searched

Close thread plz

[jmhasty]

Oh, I didn't realize the US version had TPMS. Thanks for clearing that up.

I've never had a car that has this. What does it do... specifically? Does it give you the pressure reading in each tire on the display or does it just alarm you when pressure is low on a tire?

It simply tells you when the tire pressure is low in most cars. Its a nice feature but in my old Alero the light was always on saying my tire pressure was low when it was fine.. I hated that!

Isn't there an additional cost when replacing tires on vehicles equipped with tpms?

I thought it was between $5-15 for each tire, depending on the place.

If the Veloster usues a sensor inside the wheel, new sensors must be purchased for each new wheel. Some cars use the ABS or wheel speed sensor outside of the wheel, but I dont think Hyundai does.

I recall hearing something about all new US cars are going to be required to have TPMS on them. As far as extra fees go, it appears that yes some places do charge extra but a lot of times they don't actually do anything to them. Quick search said some people paid $15 for all 4, others said they paid $10 per tire. For the most part I think it just depends on the shop and if they do try to charge you extra, call em out on it.

FYI, the Veloster TPMS is 52933-2V000, $66.69 each (times 4). That's from the dealer.

I hate tpms such a waste pain in the ass.

whoa! hold your horses....


ok...quick lesson in tpms. haha

Hyundai has two versions of its Tire Pressure Monitoring system High and Low.

The high uses 4 sensors in the wheels (obviously) but also uses a sensor in each wheel well. This way you can see WHAT tire is actually low. When you rotate the tires the system will automatically update itself, does this everytime you turn the car on...it "wakes the sensors up" and updates the information from the sensor itself...All sensors have an identification code that is stored on the TPMS ecu.

The low uses four sensors as well but only uses ONE in car sensor that takes the readings from all four wheels. All you get on the dash board is the tire with the exclamation point and NOT which tire is low. Everything else is essentially the same.

TMPS was mandated to be in every USA vehicle by 2008 (iirc).

you actually have TWO lights for your TMPS...one is the tire with the exclamation the other is an illuminated TMPS...if you see this, this means that there is a code stored in the tpms ecu and it can ONLY be read by the dealership.

Who can work on TPMS??

as far as i know only the dealership and work on this system. I dont know of any other scan tools that allow the end user to reprogram the sensors. SO if you get aftermarket rims, the rim needs to support the tpms sensor (rim manufacture will say so) the tpms sensors obviously have to be installed on the new rim.

if a sensor fails...both lights for the tpms will be on....the dealership will get you a new one...these are covered under your 5yr/60k warranty.

as far as putting on new tires...yes some people charge you extra, but now its becoming common place so the charge is going away.

i think i covered everything. any more questions..by all means ask away!

here is a pic of the sensor...its different in the fact that it uses a special valve stem. According to HMAservice, there is a new valve stem that snaps into place and then the TPMS sensor is attached to it.

1db, you stated that in he search for aftermarket wheels, one would have to ensure they were usable with the tpms. In your experience does this drastically reduce the available options for wheels or have companies changed their products to use tpms?

[only1db]

with this style of tpms...it doesnt look like it will matter.

there is usually a nut that goes on the front side the rim...so the rim would have to have a little recessed area to accommodate it...with these...it would appear as thought its a normal valve stem and work as such. The tpms is actually attached to the back side to the valve stem.

[spoonythc]

When getting new wheels is a new TPMS required for the new wheels or can you just transfer these? Don't know how difficult these are to remove or if easily broken when tires are removed?

It simply tells you when the tire pressure is low in most cars. Its a nice feature but in my old Alero the light was always on saying my tire pressure was low when it was fine.. I hated that!

My wife's 2009 Chevy Cobalt (cheap car) displays each tire's pressure on the display screen. I would have thought the Veloster had the same, but no such luck.

[Natedogg]

Can I just run my aftermarket rims without them? It'll just have the light on all the time, right?

[only1db]

yup
