Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors (TPMS) can be mounted on the wheel rims or on the tire valve stems. They can wear out or be damaged by potholes, debris, weather, or electronic failure and need to be replaced.
When you purchase and install new tires, you have the option to reuse your factory installed tire pressure monitoring sensors. However, the sensors are fragile and can be easily damaged. Any kind of damage to the sensor or the valve stem may require the entire unit to be replaced.
Let our experienced technicians at Country Tire and Auto handle them with care and reset them after installing a new tire.
The lithium-ion batteries inside the TPMS sensor last anywhere from five to 10 years. Since the batteries are sealed inside, a dead or dying one requires the replacement of its entire TPMS sensor assembly. On many cars and trucks, the TPMS needs to be electronically reset after changing or replacing tires.
Schedule an appointment or just walk in for new tires installed or for TPMS inspection.
