Like any other car sensor, your tire’s TPMS setup is susceptible to malfunction, particularly if you’ve been operating your vehicle for several years. This issue isn’t exclusive to gasoline vehicles: Electric cars, which need specialized tires, are also tracked by TPMS sensors, and most contemporary automobiles rely on direct TPMS. This system includes a battery-powered sensor in each tire that gauges pressure and wirelessly transmits that information to the vehicle. Typically, those batteries have a lifespan of five to 12 years, after which the sensor might start delivering sporadic or inaccurate readings. In some instances, your TPMS warning light could remain lit permanently. For the driver, this may suggest a defective system, even though the sensor is merely at the end of its operational life.
