That is true Kit, but the light isn't there to say there is a fault so we're still scuppered. As already said, pass and advise.

If the pressure is OK & the light is on then surely that is a fault with the system?

Yes, I know that  but I bet three tyres didn't spontaneously partially deflate. There's no point in fitting a system if it's just another pretty light on the dash for the driver to ignore.

As far as I know jock tpms are to monitor runflat tyre's because they look the same inflated or not & deflated tyres waste fuel

Had one in today coincidentally. Orange warning lamp lit, but it came with a screen telling me which tyres were low in pressure. 3 out of 4. What is the point of having the bloomin system in the first place?

but you then have to prove that for the vehicle concerned without the relevant tech info yes?or look in the owners handbook which probably aint there and which you don't generally have the 15 mins required for anyway...

I remember someone saying it will light up orange for a tyre with low pressure, and red for a system fault.

when we were first sent this out as a failure I queried it on a message to vosa via comp 1 voicing the below concerns,its essentially a p+a exercise like most of the stuff that came in with it...

How do you tell the difference - that is a very good point. If only there was some sort of readily available information for the vehicle being tested. Some systems as well as showing the light may have an information display showing which tyre is low on pressure, which you can look at whilst doing the test. The warning for a system fault may be different to the warning for low tyre pressure, the pressure warning may be a constant warning light and the system failure a flashing warning light, the owners hand book if available may verify this. I can see this as potential for testers to fail a perfectly working system.

The inspection manual at 4.1, page 6, says; "The inspection of the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) only applies to passenger vehicles with: four or more wheels not more than 8 passenger seats excluding the drivers seat, and first used on or after 1 January 2012" Go back to the VTS and ask them to read the inspection manual!

I think it will allow the fail. It's not that clever.

If your car is a 2010 Model. the mot computer will not let you fail the tpms, what exactly does your failure form say
