TPMS Recalibration issue

Redglare · 01-06-2013, 05:25 PM

Had the same issue, the dealer calibration tool can pick up the "ID'S" of the new tpms sensors and then upload said id's into your ecu so your car can register them, not sure why your dealership is having trouble with this.

batteries are good for 7-15 years (depending on climate etc etc)

off a'12 then yes not likely.
Redglare- we got an article for the tire shop that said car companies will be having the battieries fail sooner as they are not making any profit on the sensors themselves. The sensors battieries are not replaceable so thr whole sensor has to be replaced. Thats the reason we are now stocking up on multiple sensors for many makes and models at Costco. Call me a liar if you want and ill be glad to upload the article but we'll just see what happens.

That's actually believable, I'd love to read the article though, it's ridiculous that they would make them last less...
That would be ridiculous if you had to replace sensors with every tire change.... I hope the car manufacturers will step in and develop in-house sensors that will last as long as they do right now.

I can see an aftermarket company developing sensors with longer lasting batteries.
