Reasons why the tire monitoring system may not work

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Tires

Video tutorial

In reality, when the tire pressure monitoring system is not working, the reasons can be different: the sensors' battery is low, a problem with the TPMS control unit, damage from an impact, electromagnetic interference, or software issues that can interrupt communication between the control unit and sensors; but also incorrect tire installation.

In most cases, TPMS sensors have an integrated and non-replaceable battery, so when it runs out, we need to change the entire sensor.

Generally, these batteries have a lifespan of between eight and ten years.
