Advice with TPMS diagnostic

[frozenrice]

I’ve had this problem for the longest time now where the TPMS light comes on after a few minutes of driving. Finally had a chance to have a shop diagnose it. The printout says signal failure on all four (and low battery on one of them?). Tires are filled to correct pressure. Didn’t get a chance to talk to the advisor about what this actually means so want some second opinions before doing something. The sensors are probably only 4-5 years old. I’m guessing it’s safe to say I need new ones again? The previous sensors seemed to have lasted much longer than that.

Not sure what your vehicle is, but I got rear ended a while back and turns out my TPMS receiver module is in the driver's rear wheel well and my exhaust got bent back into there, now my service TPMS light is on and no tires read pressures.

Check your spare, because it likely has a sensor too and locate where your receiver module is on your vehicle. Your sensors are probably fine.

Sensors should last longer than 4-5 I think. My Highlander is an 08. My factory ones still work and I picked up a used set of OE Highlander wheels with factory TPMS on them and they programmed up to my vehicle after not being used for a few years.

If you do replace your sensors, dont get OE, get some aftermarket Autel ones for fraction of the price.

Urban expressions can assist with this diagnosis. They also sell pretty reasonably priced replacement sensors.
