A TPMS sensor is a device that measures the air pressure in a tire and transmits that information to a receiver in the car.
It depends on the type of sensor you have. Some sensors are designed to last the life of the tire, while others may need to be replaced periodically.
TPMS can help improve fuel efficiency, extend tire life, and reduce the risk of a tire blowout or other safety issues.
While it is possible to install TPMS sensors yourself, it is recommended that you have them installed by a professional to ensure proper function and durability.
If your TPMS warning light comes on, you should check your tire pressure and add air as needed. If the light continues to stay on, you should have your TPMS system checked by a professional.
