TPMS Sensor Replacement: Signs of a Fault
- Warning light stays on with correct pressures
- Flashing TPMS light (often a sensor or system fault)
- One wheel reading missing on the dashboard
Why Sensors Fail
Most TPMS sensors have a sealed battery lasting around 5-10 years. Corrosion of the valve stem and damage during tyre changes are also common.
MOT Implications
On cars first used from January 2012, a malfunctioning TPMS indicator is an MOT failure.
