TPMS Service at AACCEL Emissions & Auto Repair

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) plays a critical role in maintaining proper tire pressure, enhancing safety, improving fuel efficiency, and preventing premature tire wear. At AACCEL Emissions & Auto Repair, we provide professional TPMS diagnostics and repairs to ensure your system is functioning correctly.

The TPMS monitors the air pressure in your tires and alerts you if any tire is underinflated. Driving with low tire pressure can lead to poor handling, reduced fuel efficiency, and an increased risk of tire failure. If your TPMS warning light is on, it’s important to have your tires and/or the system checked as soon as possible.

With multiple locations, AACCEL Emissions & Auto Repair has access to the right diagnostic tools to inspect your TPMS sensors, reset warning lights, and replace any faulty components when needed. We ensure that your TPMS is working accurately to keep you and your vehicle safe on the road.

TPMS Service FAQs

What does it mean when my TPMS light comes on?

A TPMS warning light usually indicates that one or more of your tires are underinflated. It may also signal a malfunction within the TPMS system itself. A professional diagnostic will pinpoint the reason.

Can I drive with my TPMS light on?

While your vehicle may still be drivable, ignoring a TPMS warning can lead to unsafe driving conditions, poor fuel efficiency, and potential tire damage. It’s best to have your tires and sensors inspected as soon as possible.

Do I need to reset my TPMS after inflating my tires?

In many cases, the TPMS light will turn off automatically after inflating your tires to the correct pressure. However, some vehicles require a manual reset, which can be done using a TPMS reset tool.

AACCEL EMISSIONS & LUBE Auto Tips and Videos: Alignment Inspection

January 1, 2016
Uneven tire wear, the auto pulling to one side or a steering wheel that is off-center are signs for Joliet motorists that their wheels may be out of alignment.  When doing an alignment inspection, the service advisor will check your tires for uneven wear as well as suspension and steering parts for signs of wear or damage. He’ll also compare your current alignment with the auto manufacturer’s settings. Your vehicle owner’s manual will have a recommendation for when to check alignment. Of course, this recommendation is based on normal driving. If you have been in collision, hit a curb/pothole, frequently drive off-road around Joliet, or notice any symptoms of misalignment, have your AACCEL EMISSIONS & LUBE service specialist carry out a critical alignment check.

Professional Auto Maintenance at AACCEL EMISSIONS & LUBE: Causes of Wheel Misalignment

December 24, 2015
When properly aligned, all of your wheels are pointed in the same direction. Your vehicle will track true and handle the way it is designed. Joliet motorists often associate our wheels being “knocked” out of alignment with an event like a major collision, hitting a pothole, curb or some other object. While these can certainly take your wheels out of alignment, the bumps and bounces of everyday driving take their toll on wheel alignment as well. Your automobile can lose alignment over time with just normal driving. When your wheels are out of alignment, the team of automotive professionals at AACCEL EMISSIONS & LUBE in Joliet can return your wheels to the factory settings. Most owners’ manuals suggest a diagnostic examination every year or two.

AACCEL EMISSIONS & LUBE Car Care Advice for Joliet Motorists: A Broken or Damaged Timing Belt

December 24, 2015
The timing belt rotates the cam shafts which open and close the valves that allow air, fuel, and exhaust to flow through the engine as it powers your auto. An old timing belt can lose a “tooth” in the belt allowing it to slip. The engine could stop or misfire. Timing belt slip – or a broken timing belt – can be disastrous on some engines. In “interference” engines, open valves can get in the way of the piston when the timing belt breaks or slips. When that happens one or more valves can be bent requiring pricey engine repairs. It is critical for Joliet auto owners to replace their timing belts as recommended in their owner’s manual to avoid unnecessary breakdowns. Ask the team of professionals at AACCEL EMISSIONS & LUBE in Joliet if it’s time for your timing belt to be replaced.
