Can I ignore a faulty TPMS sensor?
A faulty sensor means you may not receive a warning if your tire pressure becomes unsafe. Replacing a failed TPMS sensor helps ensure you’re alerted to potential tire issues before they become bigger problems.
Can a TPMS sensor battery be replaced?
In most vehicles, the battery is sealed inside the sensor and cannot be replaced separately. When the battery dies, the entire TPMS sensor is typically replaced.
Do TPMS sensors need to be replaced when I buy new tires?
Not always. If your sensors are working properly, they can often be reused. However, if a sensor has failed or is nearing the end of its battery life, replacing it during a tire installation can save time and labor later.
How long do TPMS sensors last?
Most TPMS sensors last between 5 and 10 years. Over time, the internal battery can wear out, requiring the sensor to be replaced.
What does the TPMS warning light mean?
A TPMS warning light usually means one or more of your tires has low air pressure. If the light stays on after you’ve properly inflated your tires, or if it flashes, there may be a problem with one of the TPMS sensors that should be inspected by a technician.
What does a TPMS sensor do?
A Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor continuously monitors the air pressure in your tires and alerts you when one or more tires are underinflated. This helps improve safety, handling, fuel efficiency, and tire life.
