Re: Tire sensor lifespan? (TOPGUN9)
The 97-00 units are starting to fail a little more regularly now. 5-7 years on (more or less) a watch battery isn't bad... just sucks to change them... along with the expense :eek:
We normally carry replacements in stock. Give us a call if you need one :)

Anyone know the average lifespan of a tire sensor monitor before the battery wears out?

8 to 10 years. Of course individual driving conditions may affect that (probably downward) their life to 6 to 8 years.

Re: Tire sensor lifespan? (nevrenuf)
these early failures , were they from the rear tires where you spin them up more?

The sensors switch themselves off if not in use so I think their life span is mileage based instead of time based.
I have 67K miles on my '99 and so far I had to replace the RF sensor. It just started giving a reading above 55Mph.
All others are still original and working fine.
