The expected battery life of lithium-ion batteries in a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor ranges from 5 to 10 years. Factors like usage and environmental conditions can impact longevity. Regular checks of the TPMS ensure accurate readings. Replace sensors as needed to maintain safety while driving.
When the battery weakens, the TPMS may display a warning light. This indicates that the system can no longer accurately monitor tire pressure. Regularly checking your tire pressure can help mitigate issues before they arise. To replace the battery, it may be necessary to remove the tire. Consult your vehicle’s manual and consider professional help for safety.
Frequently asked questions about TPMS battery life include how to know when to replace it and whether you can change the battery yourself. Most sensors are not designed for battery replacement, so sensor replacement is often necessary. Understanding these details helps ensure vehicle safety and optimal tire performance.
Next, we will explore the common signs that indicate your TPMS battery needs replacement, along with tips for maintaining your system’s functionality over time.
