Summary The cost of replacing a TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) sensor can vary greatly depending on the type of vehicle, brand and type of sensor, location of replacement, and labor cost. The ...

Those TPMS sensors are robust devices, but they rely on batteries, which typically fail after 5 to 10 years. They can also be damaged relatively easily during a tire replacement.

TPMS sensors don't draw power from the car, and unlike other battery-operated devices, you can't replace or charge their batteries. You have to remove the entire sensor and swap it out for a new ...

The program successfully found three of the TPMS sensors and helpfully decoded the information they were sending. It seems the bad sensor was totally dead.

But, the Dorman TPMS (PN RNB-974-009) come with metal valve stems and are a fraction of the cost of the GM sensors at under $31. So I figured we’d give them a shot in the name of science.

LAS VEGAS – Several TPMS tool and sensor companies, normally competitors, have joined forces on a campaign to urge technicians to update their TPMS scanners. "The issue we're going to talk about has ...
