Do tire pressure sensors use individual batteries (that may last only 10 years) rather than the car’s electrical system? Could such a battery replacement cost about $85 for each wheel? What about ...

Modern cars can do a lot of impressive stuff. The onboard diagnostic (OBD) system can tell us when there's a vehicle malfunction by activating the check engine light, while advanced car safety ...

Tire shops have turned a once simple errand into a surprisingly technical decision point: when you buy a fresh set of rubber, should you also spring for new tire pressure sensors hiding inside each ...

Q: My tire pressure monitor light is constantly on for one or more of the original tires on my 2009 Subaru Impreza with 40,000 miles. We love the car and plan on keeping it as long as possible. My ...

If you drive a relatively modern vehicle, chances are that it has an integrated tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). These systems work with the car's central computer and are designed to monitor ...

Seasons change, and shifting temperatures are in the forecast. Even when it doesn’t feel like much, the expansion of hot air or shrinkage of cold air often impacts tire pressures, which is why you’re ...

A TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) sensor is a device that is installed in a vehicle's tires to monitor the air pressure and temperature of the tires. The primary function of the TPMS sensor is ...

Do tire pressure sensors use individual batteries (that may last only 10 years) rather than the car’s electrical system? Could such a battery replacement cost about $85 for each wheel? Let me guess, ...

A tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is an auto component that helps keep you informed when tire pressure drops or rises to unsafe levels. The system works by comparing each tire to a programmed ...
