6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Tymate TPMS, please refer to the common questions and solutions below:
- Q: What if you find the data displayed intermittently?
A: You can solve the problem by moving the display away from the interference source. If the problem persists after trying the above suggestions, you may need to equip a repeater. - Q: What If a tire blowout puncture occurs?
A: TPMS could not avoid the puncture caused by sharp objects or damaged tires. TPMS cannot monitor instantaneous changes. - Q: Is there no need for tire inspection after installation?
A: We recommend you do a comprehensive tire inspection for at least one month and ask your tire technician to replace your faulty tire in time. - Q: Why Is Not Data Displayed After I Installed It?
A: After the first installation, all data will be displayed after driving for 5-10 minutes. The sensor needs motion activation. - Q: The Measurement Error
A: The error value of measuring tire pressure is 3PSI. - Q: The Sensor Or Monitor Is Not In The Normal Operation
A: If you encounter any other problems, please do not hesitate to contact our customer service team.
